Movie Review

The summer vacation was a rare opportunity to watch two great movies with my kids, "Ne Zha" and "Galaxy Cram School".

The plot is good, the special effects are great, and Ne Zha, who is known as the "world's ugliest", has been praised by too many people, and the box office has already exceeded 1 billion (the current champion of domestic animated films, which is expected to reach 3 billion), so there is no need for the audience to add more words of praise. The company's newest product is a new, more sophisticated, and more affordable version of the company's original product.

This time, I would like to praise Deng Chao, who is a "good actor and director".

Speaking of Deng Chao's acting skills, I believe that the audience is still quite a lot of convincing, "scorching heart" "shadow" and so on are the reputation of the work. However, in previous years, he directed and starred in the "Breakup Master" and "Evil Angel" successively became a representative of the box office without word of mouth, which makes self-proclaimed "I'm an incredibly proud person" Deng guide is naturally reluctant to ah.

I don't know if it's because he's a father, but Deng Chao, who co-directed and starred in the film with Yu Bai Mei, is thinking much more y about the issue than he used to when he was playing Variety, and what makes people's eyes light up is that this time he's touching on a social issue that's both poignant and y taboo! --The school education has been criticized by thousands of parents, including many parents need to reflect on the family education.

? (

If we say that our Chinese parents are the hardest working and the most pitiful people in the world, not many people will object. In order to children, "saving money", "to do cattle and horses", "to the moon will not give the stars" and so on, all image highlights the parents are willing to bend their heads for the children's cow "slave-like" service, but at the same time, our Chinese parents are probably the world's most "ruthless" people - at a very young age, many children who can not even say their own names are When they are very young, many children who can't even say their own names are sent to "daycare centers" because their parents "have to make money to support the family"; when they reach middle school, more children are unwillingly sent to a variety of uneven boarding schools, which are said to be "a way to exercise children's independent Self-care ability"; and so on into the university, the child can finally dominate their own lives, right? Wait, what to choose a major, go to what school, etc., most of the parents still have to say, because "we are for your good" ......

These just listed part of the "parents and home education issues", Deng Chao in his "Galaxy Cram School" have all mentioned:

In the child most need to accompany the time, because of the unexpected

At a time when children need companionship the most, because of the sudden "collapse of the bridge" change, suffered seven years in prison, the hero of the old Ma Haowen can not stay with the children, thus missing the most precious time of the child's growth, the lack of father's love of the little Ma Fei often have to suffer from the bullying of peers, the little heart is already full of wounds and the mother has decided to re-marry.

In the child's adolescence, the mother and stepfather in order to make money at ease, it is difficult to send the horse into the boarding school, because of the lack of interest in learning, repeatedly "do not abide by the rules of the school", the horse was ordered to drop out of school, self-esteem again suffered a devastating blow, but fortunately, this time, the old horse was released from prison in advance, and in the case of all the people are disgusted with the "take over"! "The first time I saw this, I was able to see that I had a lot of money to spend on my own, and I was able to see that I had a lot of money to spend on my own.

Here, I would like to spit out the first "slot" in the movie: why would the "lifelong pride" of the old horse marry a tough wife with very different values, played by Ren Su Shi? A marriage between two people with different values will not be happy, and children are the most direct victims. As a matter of fact, when Lao Ma was just sent to prison for "collapsing a bridge", his wife brought his children to him to sign the divorce agreement, which was also the only time she visited him. The only time she ever visited her husband was when he was in jail, and that was the only time she ever visited him.

Speaking of just getting into a good college, is the child's life really open from then on? He was dropped into a disability plus insanity. Genius IQ but wrapped in a fragile glass heart, can not stand any setbacks and blows have become a common problem of many children, and the direct cause is the only results is the map of the parents are usually negligent to teach their children the most important lesson: in life is not as good as desired, how to face the difficulties and setbacks.

There's also an interesting metaphor in the movie, with the help of a soccer ball. For Pony, it is a ball that was once full of hope, and then because of a family change, the ball rotted and broke, and the old horse came back and fixed the soccer ball once again, and served as the only thing that Pony took to space.

In my opinion, this "ball" is the pony: childhood, by the father care and love, and therefore full of joy and hope; later, his father was wrongly imprisoned, the ball was a gang of punks in the compound intentionally broken, the pony's life began to be a thousand holes, and because of the poor performance in school, became a parents and the school kicked around the "asshole". "asshole"; father came back to repair the ball, and to teach by example how to face the difficulties of learning and the test of life, everywhere to encourage him to be confident, to be brave, to not admit defeat.

And look at the old horse often to his wife and teachers in the eyes of the "lack of a string" of the son of the horse is how to say: you are on this earth, the most intelligent children; when you grow up, you must do their favorite things; do not believe what others say, as long as your brain has been thinking all the time to think, you can do a good job of any of the earth! The thing is ......

Here, the father gives his children the freedom to grow, the ability to think independently, and the courage to face the difficulties and other positive incentives.

Then look at what the mother, who says she loves her children and has suffered for them, said about her son: "I'm really proud of him (he said that when he was expelled for not following the school rules)! That's it for the kid, he's hopeless, don't you have a face like a top ten student? The kid is not your test subject, he's already stupid! If you can't get into a good school, your child's life will be ruined... (complaining that the former Ma brought up the child to be a wild child who doesn't do his homework all day and goes out to play)

All kinds of humiliating and even vicious words make her look like she's not the child's real mother at all, but a bad stepmother.

The audience (especially those who are already parents) will not know what to think, and many will probably think: "Gee, isn't this how I usually treat my kids?

In the most unmissable time of the child's growth, as a father, the old horse has to carry a huge humiliation, seven years can not be accompanied by children. But the touching thing is that, although the father and son were in prison and society suffered different bullying, but the old horse in the letter to the child instilled is still not hate, but "there are a lot of things in the world is out of our control, but we can control their own" positive encouragement; "Never be afraid. Don't give in...as long as you don't give in yourself, no one can stop you from going where you want to go." This is not the old horse for his own blood, in reality, no matter how cold eyes and even humiliated, he has always been restrained in patience in waiting for the opportunity. Reunited with his son, he is also with the young horse together, not humble face life in a variety of not true not good not beautiful trials and tribulations. "When you are in the darkness, can still leave the light to others, then you are an adult; the bridge collapsed, but Dad the man will not collapse; I will not admit defeat, never admit defeat!"

"What parents say is important, but more importantly, let the child see how parents do."

When the son saw his father still working late at night, he asked his father if he himself had to stay up all night to study, the old horse changed the usual relaxed tone, said seriously: "their own business, don't ask me in the future"; "Life is like archery, the dream is like an arrow target, and even the arrow target can't be found. not find where, then your daily bow drawing will be meaningless."

Another time, two fathers and sons had a late-night conversation, and the old horse asked the young horse: "Have you ever thought about what your ideal is?" The son blurted out: "Of course it is to get into the Tsinghua University ah, mom said that if you can not get, you can only sell pancakes." To this, the old horse's answer is: "Tsinghua Peking University is only the process, not the purpose."

While making up for the child's lack of subject knowledge, he also made up for the lack of his own life, which is the wisdom of the old man as a father.

That's why the youngest of all, Ma, has gone from the often self-denying "Dad, it's too hard, I'd better go sell pancakes" to the heartfelt "I'd rather sell pancakes". to the later heartfelt "Dad, like you, never admit defeat"! "I'll take the test myself, I can do it." Such a surprising transformation.

"Galaxy Cram School" also tells our parents --

If you do wrong, you need to say sorry to your child. Because the relevant units time and again kicking the ball and not act, so that the heart for their own "complaint" of the old horse finally failed to control their emotions, and the son wanted to go to see the airshow in a flurry of temper, the young horse is very incomprehensible and aggrieved, the father took the initiative to show good and apologized: "I'm sorry, Dad is also the first time to learn to be a father.

Traveling is not just about showing your kids the sights, it's also about witnessing the growth. During the trip to the airshow, the father and son enjoyed the natural and humanistic landscapes that brought all kinds of touching, at the same time, Xiao Ma, who had been taken care of all the time, seemed to grow up overnight - realizing that adults also need to be taken care of, and got off the bus in the middle of the night to go and make instant noodles for his father, and ended up getting on the wrong bus. Then comes the great test: the flood disaster.

"If you can hear, look around you. Figure it out, use your brain, you'll get out!" The separated son was encouraged by his father from afar to be fearless in the face of danger and learned to save himself. --The ability to think independently and problem solving is an ability that accompanies a child throughout his life. Later, in space, Xiao Ma also used the same methods taught by his father, and with courage, skill and confidence, solved the "almost impossible" difficulties and returned safely from space with his comrades. The first time I saw this, it was a very good idea to go back to the space.

The first step in the process is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what is happening in the world, and that you have a good understanding of what is happening in the world.

In the eyes of the school leaders represented by "Director Yan", the only way for a child to have a future is to get a high score on the exam; as long as the child has good grades, all problems can be covered up and ignored; "unruly" students are bad students; "unruly" students are bad students; "unruly" students are bad students; "unruly" students are bad students; "unruly" students are bad students; "unruly" students are bad students. are bad students; "do not write according to the outline" of the composition can only get zero points ......

The teacher of the class came to visit the family, and anxiously persuaded the old horse: "Other students do their homework until eleven or twelve o'clock, but you let him play with the computer at home, how can this be? If his grades are not up to par, he will really be expelled from school!"

Let's take a look at how Ma, a "non-education professional," talks about his view of education:

Deepening the knowledge you've learned over and over and over again is like steaming a bun over and over again, and it's not going to taste good. In the age of the child's strongest ability to learn, but let them more than ten years, year after year, so tired of learning, the effect can be good? Teach your children not only knowledge, but also ideas, and methods. Real learning starts with interest. The most important moments of his life should be spread over every day of his life; he has to know what he is living for.

Writing essays is a "pain point" for many children, and not getting a high score is a headache for teachers.

To this end, the old horse on the way to send his son to school, to do a wonderful education: in the grass through the ancient poems in the "Tianjie Xiaoyu Run as crispy, the grass color is close to see but no" scene description, the field to teach the children - the writing of the text must be true, real! The first thing you need to do is to feel the world and write about what you believe in!

Director Yan asked Lao Ma, "Can you get a high score for something beautiful?" The first thing I'd like to say is that I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this. Good question!

"There are four options for every question, and it is important to know abcd, but not every moment in life has an alternative answer, and if we can also think of xyz, then our children's destiny will be very different." Finally graduating, the kids who did well couldn't wait to tear up and throw away their textbooks because it was an exception made by Director Yan to allow it. Old Ma's question was "Do they really love to study? Shouldn't learning be a lifelong habit?" I believe that the problem of tearing out books after graduation exists in many schools. In this regard, I also have questions, not to mention what to respect knowledge and other big words, first of all, this behavior is too disrespectful of their own, hard work, each textbook has witnessed their own efforts and efforts, how can we use such a ruthless and uninteresting way to treat their own side by side to fight the "comrades" it?

In the old horse "people must do their favorite thing" under the influence of the horse, this in the eyes of many people originally "lack of a string" of children gave up the college entrance examination, gave up "the most likely to sprint to the Tsinghua and The "Provincial Top Scholar" opportunity of "Peking University" was given up, and he finally did what he wanted to do, realizing his dream of going to space.

Here, I also want to spit out the second "slots" of the movie: not moving on the expulsion of students, not moving on the teacher's demerits, why a director of the right to be so big? Or do the writers and directors not dare to go up to reveal a bigger "education scar"? Luckily, the final arrangement is still a leader of the Board of Education to come out to do a positive voice: "independent thinking children can be more, our country will be better" - really want to give this kind of insightful education leader to give a thumbs up!

? (C) borrow the name of "father", Deng Chao actually want to bring the audience what

Spoiler so much, this time Deng big director actually want to bring the audience what? The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty. The first time I've seen this, I've seen it in my life. The first time I've seen this, I've seen it in my life. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new one, and you'll be able to do that.

Suddenly, I want to ask a question that Old Horse also asked: what is a successful education?

Do we want to educate our children to be a subservient respondent and uninnovative copier, or encourage them to think independently and dare to go their favorite but unusual path? In the face of failure, is it to give children merciless sarcasm and blow, or to encourage them to revitalize their sails? For the "poor students" is the same, have to teach, or hierarchical, merciless elimination?

"Everyone has their own bridge, and fixing your own bridge is, in my opinion, the biggest thing in the world."

This bridge is the second metaphor in the movie: we are first-time parents, first-time children, first-time teachers, first-time students - all of our lives. -Throughout our lives, we are learning how to "build bridges" and "cross bridges" - playing our respective roles. It is normal for all of us to encounter different difficulties and trials in this process. What is important is how we deal with ourselves and others when values clash. If we all learn equality, respect, understanding and tolerance, and no longer use the world's view of success or failure and other people's evaluation standards to see what they think is important, then, whether it is family education, school education, or self-education, is truly "no failure".

Thanks to Deng Chao and Yu Baimei for bringing us their thoughts and feelings.

Eggs in the movie

According to the development of the plot, the movie appeared in the "we Asia", "longing", "curved moon", "a big tree", "a lot of people", "a lot of people", "a lot of people", "a lot of people", "a lot of people". "A Big Tree", "Late Autumn", "Happy Home" and many other old songs of the era, this seems to be quite Jia Zhangke's style, but the original "awkward dance But originally "awkward dance" also jumped quite flirty Deng Chao this time hard to resist the urge to show his hand, but instead of running and sing the end song "the most like people in the Milky Way": "Look at the Milky Way more voluminous, so proud and I'm very much like ... you will be stronger than me, please! Take all my strength ......" This song, like the ending song of "Ne Zha", is worth listening to a few times, as well as the ending song of "I Wander with Myself".
