Some of the most interesting shots in "The Furnace"
Did we have this experience when we were kids:
"You see that kid is dirty, don't play with him, it will teach you bad."
"People with physical disabilities are also somewhat mentally disabled."
"If you don't study hard, you can only sell vegetables in the future."
We used to think that these views were all right, and we unknowingly agreed with them until they penetrated deep into our hearts.
A movie "The Furnace" I watched a long time ago, I clicked in to watch it unconsciously at that time. I read it again recently, I can't be depressed and depressed by myself, I'm going to write it out for everyone to accompany me to depress it (Oh, I'm so perverted). I remember at that time, in the first few minutes of the movie, the male protagonist suddenly killed the rabbit, and a boy was lying on the track in front of the train. The director completely aroused my curiosity.
The film is based on a novel and is based on true events. At that time, the male protagonist himself was still serving in the military, and the leader of the male protagonist gave him a book. After reading it, he thought it was well written. Later, he found the author of this book, and after a lot of hard work, he put the novel on the screen. The story tells that the orphans living in the orphanage are a group of special children, they are either mentally challenged or deaf-mute. The male protagonist is an art teacher who went to the school from Seoul to teach. Later, he discovered the evil hidden in the underground of the school. The perverted principal, the brutal male teacher, the social aunt who punished the students physically, and the inaction police officer, the male protagonist was in trouble. The story of how to help the victimized students in lawsuits, and how the male protagonist maintains his original intention and protects his children in the face of reality and temptation.
Shot 1: The male protagonist chatted with a male teacher for the first time in the office, "I feel that the whole atmosphere of the children is a bit strange." The male teacher replied: "Once the body is disabled, there will be some problems in the heart." This is a familiar saying, but it is also a wrong view shared by many people. Psychologically there is a very bad premonition.
Scene 2: In the classroom, the male protagonist accidentally bumped into the male teacher who was beating Minxiu. He felt very distressed when he saw Minxiu being beaten. What made me angry was that the male teacher said the following: "You don't know me How worried about this child, he wanted to escape the school with two girls yesterday, and his younger brother died like this. "Faced with young children, adults' intelligence and physical strength are much stronger than children's, a despicable adult A person can always find an excuse for his shameless behavior, even if his behavior is so cruel, or he is dressed in the cloak of morality. In this conversation, we often hear this plausible explanation, but next time, please don't be deceived by such a sanctimonious excuse. I remember a debater Huang Zhizhong in an issue of "Wonderful Flowers" said: "We adults are very good at finding reasonable explanations for our hypocrisy and cruelty." We always cover up or beautify our ugly behavior.
Scene 3: The male protagonist holds a pot of orchids in his hand and prepares to give it to the principal. When he knocks on the door, he hears the sound of Minxiu being beaten. The door opens and the principal is calling the male protagonist to enter. This shot is really good. Does it feel like the devil is calling you, as if they are saying, come on, join us and become just like us. In the end, the male protagonist was not summoned by the devil. He turned around and ran to the male teacher and smashed his head with a flower pot. The male protagonist was not assimilated by them in the end.
Scene 4: The female doctor in the court is explaining her medical report, explaining why she changed the medical report: "Five years ago, the patient was still a child, had sex, and was too young, so..." The school's lawyer immediately got up and interrupted her speech, "Is it really possible to have a sexual relationship with an adult man at that time? And even if it is possible, it is impossible without the woman's willingness and cooperation, isn't it?" At this time, our kind heroine immediately hugged the girl's head and covered her ears. This sentence is actually from the mouth of an adult man, which is so shameless and outrageous, but think about it, many people will have such a misunderstanding. It is not so much a lawyer's defense, but I believe that this is the truest thought in a male lawyer's heart.
Shot 5: Until the teacher who recommended the male protagonist to go to this school, he came forward to make adjustments in person, and he also offered very high conditions. He could send the girl to study abroad, and he could also let the male protagonist continue his own painting and send him to a school in Seoul. Teacher, I was actually a little shaken when I saw this. After all, the conditions are very attractive, and it is easy to confuse our psychology. As the male protagonist, after all, the family is short of money and the child has asthma, but he still refused. The lawyer of the other party finally moved out of the male protagonist's daughter. This is the only weakness of the male protagonist. The male protagonist stopped for a while before opening the door, but went out. The action of the male protagonist struggling to smash the car door on the side of the road shows how struggling and suffering the male protagonist was at that time.
It wasn't until after the movie was over, when I was watching the beginning of the movie, that I suddenly understood why the broadcast said that there was heavy fog in many places and the weather was very bad. It also reflected how much sin and darkness were hidden under this gray fog. . The director pointed it out at the beginning, but I didn't pay attention to this detail at all when I watched it for the first time.
I remember a section of the film: a child sat on the beach with the male protagonist watching the sea. She recalled that she had been to the beach with her parents before she was deaf, but she said that she could hear the sound of the waves, but now she can't hear anything. The male protagonist borrowed Helen Heller's words to tell her: "The most beautiful and precious thing in the world is inaudible and invisible. Only with your heart can you feel it." After reading it for the second time, I still cried like a dog. Then the male protagonist carried one of the girls and walked side by side along the beach.
The world is sometimes like a melting pot, you don't know when, you have fallen into it, and what's more terrifying is that you don't know it when you become the same person you hate.
At the end of the film, the male protagonist stands in front of the billboard on the subway: "We fought all the way not to change the world, but to prevent the world from changing us."
