Some discussion on the roles of teacher and Lina.

I have some thoughts on the character Erica. The main narrative in the film revolves around the exploration of "justice", so Erica is a villain who symbolizes "evil". But this film is more expensive in that the character depiction relies on the lines, and there is a branch that is a dark line. One day about Erika's character line. The line from the principal at the beginning: "Of course, everyone can join the choir." As a teacher, there is no way to fight against the principal who is a symbol of authority, which makes the teacher's work more difficult. However, the teacher's attitude is not negative, it still fulfills the responsibility as a teacher. Earn credit for the school (because this choir wasn't a second class to begin with). Imagine that the just-rehearsed lineup made up for the shortcomings of some students, and it was hard to find a good unity. At this time, there is a new classmate, even several new classmates. As a teacher, whether to think about the group or to adhere to the fair principle of "everyone can sing". In addition, from Lina's lines, we can learn that "Mr. Erica can pay attention to everyone; she is my favorite teacher..." It also confirms that Erica is a qualified teacher from the side. The third scene in the rehearsal room, the one where Lina clashed with her. Erica mentioned the concept of fairness, "Everyone is for the choir", she has a kind of dedication to honor in her heart, the school's rules and the pressure of reality did not break her, but she was still a little numb, looking for Fei's conversation clearly stated "you are not good enough", instead of finding a reason to teach you to pretend first, the biggest possibility is that there have been too many such examples before, after all, each starting point is different, chorus The group will really be ruined because of one person's basic skills.

The second character Lina. This character is relatively flat, a little girl with a sense of justice above everything else, representing the rebels in various such incidents. In the opening scene, the little boy in the back fiddled with her hair, she could fight back immediately and was calm, with a sense of proficiency, and the first impression to the audience was domineering and hearty. After that, she will take the initiative to find Sophie, who is a marginal person, indicating that she is also a person with feelings.

Some of her lines are also worthy of analysis, "Why don't you sing, tell the truth." She is not like some milder humans who don't ask questions after the other party shows embarrassment, but asks the bottom line, "Would a teacher like you be? Happy." The scene also highlights her subtlety and candor.

Lina's principle of fairness is absolute fairness for everyone, and no one is inferior to anyone, which is somewhat similar to the form of utopia. So she broke her promise to Sophie after she promised Sophie, "Can you promise to keep the secret?" and "Promise it!" Compared with integrity, fairness seems to be more important, which also sets the stage for the subsequent dramatic conflicts. Compared with the teachers and the school's "everyone is responsible for the collective honor, individuals can make appropriate sacrifices to be a green leaf." This principle of justice, Lina's is more common in children, two different values Conflict is the status quo that the director wants to present objectively, which is also an irreversible fact. Erica violated the legal rights of the choir members, is she evil? Lina's call made the choir that could win the championship lose everything. She personally made every classmate who took the stage seriously to destroy their future. Is she evil?

I think it's all right. The director wanted to present this situation when he shot it. As for how to solve it...

I do not know.

    The final scene will bring tears to your eyes! This short film directly satirizes the utilitarian ethic. First of all, it is not utilitarian in the nature of children, it is the calculation of adults.

    ? I feel like I'm screwed, uh, almost brainwashed by the teacher's words.
