What I admire most about Americans is that they are born with a spirit that seems to never stop-subversion.
In Happiness Knocks on the Door, Will Smith said to his kindergarten son, Never let others tell you what to do. Not even me. If you have a dream, stick to it.
thinking of the same age, I was told at school: what the book says is right, and what the teacher says is to abide by it. It's a rather sad memory.
So, I grew up cautiously with the goal of becoming a good boy, and when I grew up, I found that the world was completely different from the book. Doubt, loss, disgust, and rebellious emotions that only breed in adulthood are obviously unhealthy and useless. It can only make you more depressed, more sad and angry, and less clear about who the road of life is for.
Einstein said: Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Unfortunately, in an environment created specifically to stifle imagination, this famous saying of the father of imagination is obviously more like a luxury decoration. However, the rise of shanzhai is verifying another more practical rule of the game: imitation is more important than imagination here.
well, it is an indisputable fact that the education system in a certain country has failed. The repeated fate of generation after generation has almost wiped out the power to expect change. More and more smart children, more and more confused about losing their individuality in information technology.
let's go back to the movie.
a Hollywood youth comedy that is not brilliant in scriptwriting. The coherence of the shooting technique and the beautiful performance of the actors can't cover up the story that falls into the stereotype. Born in the rich area of Los Angeles, the second ancestor Bobby lost her mother and her father spoiled her, which inevitably contributed to her domineering personality. After a prank, the princess's father couldn't bear it, and threw Bobby into a boarding school for British ladies, which is famous for its serious tradition. Bobby, who has grown up in fashion for 16 years, seems to have entered a monastery and is out of place with everything. Later, the story was logical. Bobby challenged the wicked school "Queen" to succeed, exposed the false mask of her friend RUBY, made a group of real close friends, led the school women's team to win the championship for the first time, and gained the love of the "prince". More importantly, while discovering that this is also the alma mater of her beloved mother, She finally found her place: now I may have looked like a California girl, but in my heart I've discovered that I really am an abey muntgirl.
I always think that in American youth films, you can't see parents and teachers telling a child what to do and what not to do, but giving them a chance to choose and let them find their own answers. This is a very exhilarating thing for an adult who has lived a rather depressed adolescence. Isn't the thought they were rooted in since childhood a subversive thought? ! OK, Bobby, you don't like this school, you don't like the HEAD GIRL who bullies you, you don't like your dad, so you have to subvert them yourself. Persuade, or be persuaded, JUST A CHOICE. A school is a society. To be strong, you need to show your strength. Of course, if you subvert the moral bottom line instead of the idea, well, there will be an honorary court to give you a fair ruling (of course, you don't have to worry at all, the court in this film will always stand on the bright side).
The most interesting thing is that I remember the headmistress in the film once told Bobby that this is a school that trains "to be a pedicure for Princess Diana". If you want to be the cover of American weekly, you may be in the wrong place. The implication is that you should be low-key, forbearing, polite, elegant and institutionalized, just like the tradition pursued by Britain for hundreds of years, and be a proper lady. Ha, but the funny thing is that the headmistress gave Bobby the opportunity to know himself and release his personality again and again. She must be like Bobby's roommates. From the beginning, she saw the warmth and brightness in Bobby's heart. I think, in fact, the headmistress knows better than anyone that personality is the most vivid and lasting vitality. Even if I am a pedicure for Princess Diana, who stipulates that that pedicure can't be a FASHION DESIGNER at the same time? In the same way, it is also very metaphorical for Bobby to challenge the HEAD GIRL who left the country with the sexy style (that dance was great) in the dance. Old and out of date will eventually fade out of the stage.
This well-organized campus building is full of the most beautiful and free souls.
I gave this youth film four stars for the emotion it gave me.
voice-over, Emma Roberts, a girl with a good star. The hero is also quite eye-catching.
