"Before trying to be a parent, people should make sure they are up to standard." Henry, who was interviewed, said earnestly. Voice gently dragging, like a curl of smoke, in the air little by little dissipated, the line of sight slightly condensed, deep in the pupil flashed a bit of confusion and thinking, but fleeting, smile on the great bloom, joked, "don't do experiments at home." Humorous words, however, are so bitter and astringent that before the corners of the mouth can rise completely, they will relax powerlessly.
Meredith's father is a jerk. He is mean, irritable, angry, extreme and narrow-minded. He releases all his anger to his daughter and even mocks Meredith's weight; On the other hand, Henry and Erica are sitting at the humble dining table. Henry tells Erica to take vitamins and aspirin, and hopes that Erica should have an HIV test if she has the chance.
"On the bus that day, why did you cry?"
Erica asked, Henry stood in the same place, his eyes were distracted, the emotion between his eyebrows slowly dissipated, but he could not read the details. In his mind, there were pictures of memories, from childhood, from... His mother. Finally, Henry regained his calm again, "go to sleep." He replied.
Mark sat quietly in his chair and began to mourn for no reason.
Henry is so gentle, so peaceful, so indifferent, there is no special sadness and pain, everything is hidden well, like a winding river, sparkling, water gurgling, but his body is always a hamlet style charm, every move, every word and deed with the weight of time.
Mark really likes lanli's performance, even if it's just an eye lift, it's so delicate and profound. And mark began to like the story, even though it was too heavy to breathe.
"Hello. It's a wonderful life, all those detentions, all those suspensions, all those dismissals, all these death meetings. "
This is a real-time message from the teacher's office of the school. The former teaching director is on the other end of the phone. He has been absent from class for many days. At the beginning, he is still looking for an excuse for illness or family affairs. But this time, he is no longer patient and releases all his anger through the phone message.
"Those paper-cut, boring parents, vicious children, they are a burden. They have defiled my soul, and this humiliation must stop! Those principles must be observed! This group of children think that mischief is reasonable. We are the one being tried. All this is crazy. Is every child valuable? Is this the price of education? Those children who have no motivation, no enthusiasm, no brain, you all die! "
Language is so powerful, but what's more powerful than language is the picture: Chalk painting reappears, children become masters, while parents and teachers become pets with dog chains - or slaves, children can beat and abuse freely. In the roar after roar, the answering machine seemed to be about to explode.
The next second, his roar turned into German, and on the black-and-white screen, there was a shot of Adolf Hitler, a history teacher in the classroom playing a World War II history expansion for students.
Visual impact, auditory impact, and more importantly, a series of montage lens hints: is this condemning the teachers who give up halfway, or the lawless children, or the irresponsible parents?
Just a few shot changes, set off a fierce repercussion in the screening hall. This is Berlin. They launched World War II, but they are also suffering from World War II. Furthermore, they are also the country with the most turbulent reflection on World War II. Tony kayer, with a group of montage shots, links the current social and educational problems in the United States with history, which has just started the reflection ripple.
"Even if you know it's a lie, you're willing to believe it." On the other hand, Henry is roaring, trying his best to inject a new soul into the students with his weak energy. "Such examples can be found everywhere in life. Only when I become beautiful can I be happy; Only after plastic surgery can I be beautiful; I have to lose weight, be famous, be fashionable! Today's young people, under the influence of public opinion, think that women are humble and can be played, bullied, trampled and humiliated by others. "
Henry's elegant and handsome face, for the first time, showed anger. His strong eyebrows entangled together, "this is mass destruction. For the rest of our lives, 24 hours a day, that force will drive us to work hard, and then gradually die out in silence."
"Therefore, in order to protect our thoughts from being poisoned and to fight against the power of invading thoughts and silencing us, we must learn to read." Standing on the platform, Henry's tall figure and passionate words made the students raise their faces, "so as to activate our imagination, cultivate our own consciousness and faith. We need these skills to defend and defend our minds. "
Ironically, while Henry was doing his best to carry out his duties as a teacher, the school board was trying to destroy them. Although they respect the responsibility of teachers, they also respect the status of education; However, the performance of schools now lags behind the average level, which will reduce the value of the community and the economy of the whole community. So, before educating children, they have to improve their grades - the numbers, not the ideas.
Only by improving grades, reputation and enrollment rate, can society prosper and schools have more and more students. But what about the numbers? Behind the economic interests? What should individual students do? In the financial torrent, what should be thought?
The responsibility of teachers should be to teach and educate people, but now their responsibility is to create economic value. This is reality, not fable.
Then, the film entered a sad stage: every teacher, after stripping his working identity, has to face his own problems when he returns home.
Their pain, their sorrow, their struggle are full of negative energy, and no one can solve them; But in school, they have to work hard and perform their work well, because no one can bear the consequences of their mistakes.
Under the pressure, the teachers began to collapse one by one, as if they could see the quiet and peaceful campus and the education system hidden behind, falling apart a little bit.
Little by little the pressure rolled over, like drowning in general, the air in the lungs disappeared little by little. Mark had to open his mouth and breathe, but his eyes were reluctant to blink. He was afraid that he would miss the wonderful scene on the big screen in the blink of an eye. He was staring at Lan Li, and his dry eyes suddenly began to ache.
My grandfather is critically ill.
In critical condition, Erica received a call from the hospital, rushed to the hospital, and then Henry rushed to the hospital. The story behind Henry's cold and alienated back is finally revealed
His father abandoned Henry early. As a child, Henry lived with his mother and grandfather. At the age of seven, his mother swallowed a lot of sleeping pills and ended his life. Henry was the first one to find the body, while his grandfather fell into a complete collapse and took all the responsibility on himself. He could not forgive himself until he died, but he forgot that there was another Henry to take care of.
Henry grew up alone, savagely and wantonly. Sitting in front of his grandfather's bed, imitating his mother's voice, he told him, "it's not your fault." But in his dark brown eyes, he was dazed and timid. He never cared about him. When he was seven years old, he found his mother lying naked on the cold floor of the bathroom.
Mark opened his eyes wide. Sadness and bitterness flowed in his eyes, but there were no tears. It was like opening his mouth wide, but he didn't feel any oxygen at all. All of a sudden, endless pain surged up. Just looking at Henry sitting quietly on the park bench, his thin shoulders showed a little loneliness, and his fingertips began to tremble slightly.
Meredith came to the classroom and created a painting for Henry; Her talent was praised by Henry, which made Meredith very happy. But then, Henry found Meredith's vulnerability and pain. He tried to help her, but Henry was already in danger. He was a quagmire and an abyss. He could not even help himself. How could he help others?
Henry stepped back, but Meredith fell into a collapse. She nestled in Henry's arms in fragility and pain. Henry tried to push Meredith away, but the fragmented Meredith firmly grasped the last straw and refused to let go.
This scene is seen by Sarah, who mistakenly thinks that Henry is taking advantage of Meredith, so she questions Henry loudly. This scared Meredith away, and it also angered Henry. The second time, Henry lost control of his emotions. He was venting his anger in the classroom, angry at Sarah's misunderstanding, angry at his own weakness, and angry at Meredith's disintegration.
Just as Mark thought it was the bottom, Henry continued to fall again.
My grandfather died. Standing in the bathroom of the ward, Henry's eyes turned red. He couldn't see tears or sadness. He just turned red gradually. Pain, acerbity and despair fainted in a daze.
"I hope there will be a different ending. I've tried, but the fact is, we are..." in front of the close-up, Henry can hardly breathe, and his eyes are scattered little by little, as if numb ice is brutally and bloody smashed. "We all have our own problems, sometimes better, sometimes worse, Sometimes we can't give other people too much space. "
Henry breathed heavily, but he was still short of oxygen. Every word was so hard, just like every breath, "these children need something else. They don't need me. "
Henry decided to hand Erica over to the social worker.
