Speak's film portrays a bullied figure to the bone and to the heart. If you can't understand it, you choose to be silent. And when the time slowly settles, the eyes of kindness gradually emerge, and the inner courage will gradually accumulate and finally choose not to be silent anymore.
Because people have obsessions, the subconscious will subconsciously make their focus on those who are related to obsessions, and that man will appear in her field of vision from time to time, making the shadows of the past linger in her mind. , lingering.
This is a film that can arouse empathy very much. From being ridiculed and bullied by classmates in the very beginning, to admiring the young boys in the same class who have the courage to express their opinions; from finding their own secret world, to hiding in The cupboard in his room was released silently; from being openly provoked by a scumbag at the dining table, to plucking up the courage to tell his ex girlfriends his secrets, and bravely stating his position to the classmates who "betrayed" him. At the end, when the heroine took the art teacher to visit her works in her secret space, the teacher and I both wet our eyes. The short shot is opened, which records all the complex emotions that a girl feels along the way. These paintings are the sustenance of the soul, the spiritual destination that the isolated and helpless can turn to and smooth the wrinkled heart.
I met new people in my life, brought me new life experiences, and looked at everything I experienced with a new perspective on life. Therefore, we choose not to escape, but to actively face the truth. This accumulation leads us to pick up the growth of our personality.

    The narrative sequence and the general plot of the story are very similar to The Tracey Fragments, but the methods are obviously much more naive, and the thematic relevance is also very low...

    Who has not experienced such a silent youth-the process of seeds breaking through the ground.

Speak quotes

  • Mr. Freeman: Can anybody tell me what this is?

    [holds up a smashed globe]

    Ivy: A globe?

    Mr. Freeman: A globe? Gosh... what are you guys, 13, 14? You already let them beat the creativity outta you? It's okay. I used to let my daughters kick this around my studio when it was too wet too play outside and one day, Jenny put her foot right through Texas and the entire United States crumbled into the sea. I mean, you could... you could paint a wet muzzled dog chewing Alaska! The possibilities are endless. It's almost too much, but you all are important enough to give it too.

  • Mr. Freeman: In here is a piece of paper and on that piece of paper is a word. You are gonna spend the rest of the year turning that object into art.

    Ivy: Uh, Mr. Freeman? When I was little, I was really scared of clowns and I don't wanna relapse and have to go back into therapy.

    Mr. Freeman: Oh, yeah, well, fear is a great place to begin art.

    [Melinda picks a piece of paper that says "tree" and tries to put it back]

    Mr. Freeman: Hey! Whoa. You just chose your destiny. You can't change that.

    Melinda Sordino: I learned how to draw a tree in like the 2nd grade.

    Mr. Freeman: Oh, really? Um. Well, do you wanna show me? It's okay. I won't grade you.

    [he hands her the chalk and Melinda sulks up to the blackboard and very hesitantly draws a really pathetic tree]

    Mr. Freeman: That's a pretty good start. Yeah, let's see what it looks like at the end of the year.
