The real background of film freelance writers.

The United States is a mixed country, classified by race, color, immigration and wealth. This is an unavoidable practical problem. Even after the liberation movement in the sixties and seventies, this concept problem has never been substantially solved, so the confrontation continues, the war continues, and the only thing that stands still is the right to life. When a black man was beaten by four white policemen in Long Beach, a kind of hostility hidden among the people jumped into the media, so the birth of this film has more social significance than youth campus films such as American Pie, and a group of students living in society is by no means spring.

A teacher led a group of heretical students to Guangming Avenue. There are many classic movies like Dead Poets Society and Mona Lisa with a smile. But in comparison, most of the students in Die Slightly are involved in personal problems, which is far from the cruelty of society. On the contrary, 187 violence in American social archives makes people feel real fear. The students in Street Diary also live in this violent atmosphere. They don't even know the origin of this violence, but they are just a kind of inheritance, inheriting the violence conveyed by this real racial class problem.

When is Hillary? When the teacher Irene, played by Swank, asks which children were shot, what we see is the violent environment of society, and what we see is a sense of despair. So the problem facing this teacher is not only the children's pranks, but the hatred of the whole society, especially the lower class.

As a new teacher, Irene never thought that there would be such terrible hostility among the students in her class. When a handful of students get together unscrupulously and go their own way, this is the true reflection of society. Just like Eva's experience in the play, beautiful words have nothing to do with them. In order to survive, resilience is the most important thing. This is a deeply rooted concept since childhood, and it is a violent philosophy of survival of the fittest and self-preservation.

Irene is very sensitive to the mutual hostility among these children in Room 203, so she takes various measures to make these children know each other and really become a group to eliminate this hostility. But every effort she made failed. As a white woman, she can't get the respect of the children at all. More importantly, children think that school is just for muddling along. When she reaches the age of 18, the battle will wait for them. This is a battle about racial dignity and social status, but the white people above obviously don't understand all this. The idea of hating other races made Irene extremely uneasy, but the children didn't know what genocide was.

Children who take other races and classes as imaginary enemies do not know the meaning of genocide, which only shows that they have not really become hopeless and completely dehumanized, and this understanding directly led Irene to find a breakthrough to solve the problem, so the history of the most terrible genocide was included in Irene's teaching scope. The Jewish life during World War II deeply touched these children. In their young minds, this kind of violence is terrible, inhuman and inhuman, and it is a sin. But this is just a child's reflection. When they face those young people who died tragically in World War II, they can only be ashamed of their past behavior, but they still can't find the real direction. Therefore, Het Achterhuis became a street lamp for children.

As a Jewish girl, Anne wrote down all her feelings about life in those terrible days. Although this is only a hope, although she inevitably lost her life, this hope still exists. So it also provides a hope for these children, that is, to face up to their true thoughts, not to be afraid of this difficult environment, and not to destroy themselves because of hostility in life. In the process of moving from despair to hope, Irene taught the children a lesson worthy of reflection with cruel history. Children also used their own pens to record not only the painful disasters in the past, but also their own changes.

There is no doubt that what Irene has done is an extremely noble thing, but in fact, all noble things will inevitably attract some resistance. First of all, Irene's husband's contribution to the students virtually ignored her husband and left him. Irene's father was originally a civil rights activist, but because of his age, he has long lost his original enthusiasm. Fortunately, this popular consciousness flowing in his blood finally made him Irene's strongest supporter. There are not many scenes between them, but there is a transformation between them, which means paying tribute to those civil rights fighters and strongly affirming Irene's behavior.

But the biggest resistance still comes from schools. The children in Room 203 were undoubtedly abandoned by the education system. The so-called compulsory education is just a process and a form. Irene said it well. When children know that teachers are not trying their best, how can they study hard? School is a paradise for top students, but for those students with poor grades, school is just a system. But with Irene's efforts, classroom 203 has finally become a paradise for these students, their home, a place different from street life, where they can live for their own hopes and make friends with people of other races, and the hatred rooted in society can be completely eliminated here.

After watching this film, the author has to be moved by Irene's noble sentiment and feel sorry for the suffering of these children. Fortunately, this movie has a happy ending. However, the author has always had a question, in the face of strong social pressure, can Irene really succeed? Can these children really change just by relying on the history that has gone away? Although this is a film based on real events, the author's gloomy psychology has no illusions about Irene's efforts. Is it because the film covers up the truth, or is the author trapped by the inherent thinking like those street teenagers?

There is no doubt that the focus of this film is Irene, who has made great efforts and sacrifices to change the hatred in children's hearts. But perhaps it is for this reason that the children in the film are too group. Although Eva's scenes are really outstanding, it is difficult for us to see Eva and Irene communicate alone. In other words, we can't see the real growth trajectory of a child, or change the trajectory. Those books, including the recorded street diaries and Anne's diaries, seem that every plot is in sync with the changes of all the children, which makes the image of the children thin and of course makes the film less real.

This is probably the director's biggest problem. Compared with previous films, this film's oversimplified description of Irene's opposite is very formalistic. Therefore, although this film sensitively touches the sadness that children are troubled by social problems, it rarely shows this sadness with examples. The notes recorded by each child are vague and made, which is more like the works written by the director.

Of course, the problems of the film itself can never erase the personality charm of teacher Irene, nor can they erase the courage of these children to change themselves. In this regard, the information conveyed by the film is indeed enough. Finally, quoting teacher Irene at the end may be not only an explanation of the film, but also an educational concept: "Teachers have become the most respected profession in the whole country, not only in the United States, but also all over the world. Sometimes, your child's future fate is in your hands ... but generally you will meet irresponsible teachers, guardians or schools. Schools are places where multi-cultures are integrated. They should endure all kinds of tests brought by race, economy and culture and should not be eroded by violence. On the surface, Wilson High School is perfect, because the students it accepts come from all walks of life, with no distinction between rich and poor and no distinction between races. However, this does not mean that the cancer inside the school does not exist. "

I also dedicate this sentence to those children in China who can't choose their own learning environment because of scores, regional differences, money and other factors, and of course teachers!
