Chapter 644 Comparison of Two Educational Films

"Okay, don't make trouble, I will look for you later."

Zhou Xia turned his attention to Tangtang helplessly, and after responding, he reached for the phone, but Tangtang hid the phone behind his back, leaving him empty.

"No, you must come to me!" Tangtang demanded, looking at Zhou Xia dissatisfied.

"Okay, okay, I will, I will."

Zhou Xia had no choice but to agree, and Tangtang returned the phone to him, and continued to pester him: "Yi Yi, is it strange that Xiaohu and the others have ignored me recently, and the news they just sent about the movie On Weibo, only Xiaohu mentioned me, but not @我, do you know the reason?"

"Really, how do I know this, did you act like a demon again and offended them?" Zhou Xia looked at Tangtang suspiciously.

How could Tangtang not know the reason? Wasn't it because of "Starting Line" that she was nominated for many awards? Was it the fact that they traveled to Rome together in Venice? Is this fishing again?
"Hmph, who is the demon? How can you say that about him." Tangtang protested dissatisfied.

"Okay, I was wrong. It's all their fault. You are not wrong."

"Yeah, how could they do this? It's not their fault. Who made them unsuitable for "Starting Line"?"

"..." Zhou Xia ignored Tangtang's words and continued to watch the movie reviews.

A film review on Douban titled ""Three Idiots" and "Starting Line", what is the essence of education?" aroused his great interest.

Tangtang originally wanted to pester Zhou Xia for a talk, but seeing Zhou Xia was so serious, she moved her head closer and read the film reviews together.

"I believe that people who have watched "Starting Line" will not be surprised that I compare the two movies. They both look like a comedy and also reflect educational issues. 'Finish Line', but after watching it, it is thought-provoking and deeply touched by the truth conveyed by the film.

The education of the two countries is similar to a large extent. The cramming education has produced a large number of students who memorize by rote and blindly pursue scores. Obviously, this is not the real purpose of education. The students educated in this way can think independently how many people?

The two films have been recognized by so many people because they have a certain depth and aroused people's general thinking. Moreover, people of every age group will gain different insights after watching them. This is what we call often watching and always new. .

I am a university teacher. After watching the movie, I saw that some friends and classmates around me were already discussing and exchanging about this movie, talking about their own understanding, and they were all full of praise. That’s why I wrote this movie review so quickly. s reason.

As soon as we are born, we are told that life is a race, and if we don’t run fast, we will be ruined. Even if we are born, we have to race with 3 million sperm. In this regard, the education of the two countries is similar, or This is basically the case in many Asian countries.

From the moment we were born, our parents taught us to study hard, find a good job when we grow up, marry a wife and have children and spend our whole life, but they never asked us what we really like and what we want. What other people's children learn, let us learn immediately, various cram schools, various specialty classes...

Asking about the health and wellness every day, taking care of everything, telling you that the task now is to study, and nothing else is important... Don't let your family's expectations down, be responsible for yourself...

Some people succeeded under the arrangement of their parents, and they became the pride of heaven, but what about most people?
They went the other way, and finally went to an ordinary university and found a job that could survive. Some didn't go to university, learned a skill early, and entered the society...

Some people also want to fight against their parents, but the parents will bring out their set of experiences and lessons and tell you that we have worked hard to raise you up, and we have done so much for you, so that you can find a good job in the future and live a better life. What is the use of those hobbies you are going to pursue now, how much is it worth, will not allow you to have a stable income in the future, and so on.

Zhang Zhe, the male protagonist of the movie, he is similar to Lan Che in "Three Idiots" in the movie, he is a different kind, but there are differences, Zhang Zhe is not that special, he is more like us ordinary people, but he has more ways Personal life philosophy and attitude.

He will compromise for those around him, but he will continue to influence those around him in his own way. He is optimistic and open-minded, and he pursues the simple happiness of real life rather than career success and wealth accumulation.

He gave up his good job and future for love, and when he arrived in a strange Shanghai, he could only find a private company to do HR.

The young people he recruited for the company are not like him. They are recruited according to the job position. There are all kinds of people. In terms of children's education, he does not have to focus on learning painting and piano. and so on, but he will not object to these arrangements of his wife and mother-in-law... But he will still try his best to let the children learn what she likes, let everyone reach a consensus, and make the family harmonious.

In real life, not many men pay so much attention to family life. Most of them are busy with career, promotion and salary increase, buying a big house and a good car, and providing a rich material foundation for the family, ignoring these really important things. One thing deeply touched a man like me who has a family and children.

Gossip aside, next I would like to make some detailed comparisons of the two films.

First, both are comedy feature films. In terms of narrative methods, the difference between the two films is obvious.

With the development of comedy films so far, it is really difficult to make great breakthroughs in jokes.Therefore, whether a good comedy is clever or not depends on the organization of the jokes.

In the narrative structure of the whole film, "Three Idiots" uses two narrative clues, the present and the past, to alternate and explain each other.Thereby strengthening the causal connection of the film and increasing the sense of compactness.If "Three Idiots" was filmed in a sequential manner, the result would appear to be very procrastinated.

And "Starting Line" also has two clues, one is a flashback to Zhang Zhe and Xia Xiaomi's love and growth experience, and the other is their child Zhang Duoduo's problem of going to a key elementary school.

Many people discussed that the two clues of the movie are like the yin and yang of Tai Chi, and they both turned to the age of five or six in the end. Especially this young couple recalled their growth path and imagined how changing a choice at that time would affect their lives. What happens is very interesting.

It seems to reproduce some things that we often regret, so that people can always invest in it and think about many of their own choices.

It can be said that both films are excellent in terms of narrative structure, and they fit the whole story perfectly.

Second, the real humor is implicit, and the foreshadowing is laid inadvertently, which is what we call "baggage", which is the organizational structure of jokes at the level of detail. Next, let's compare the "baggage" of the two movies.

Foreshadowing abounds in "Three Idiots"... I can cite a dozen at random: 1. The "silencer" couldn't speak Indian at the beginning of the school, so the manuscript was changed and he couldn't find it when he gave a speech (the film also incidentally Criticism of the cramming learning method); 2. The scene of being electrocuted for urinating at the door at the beginning of school, combined with the "silencer" urinating anywhere in the wild many times, so that the final "silencer" urinating and being electrocuted happened naturally; 3. Space The clue of the pen is a highlight of the film, applying the allusion of the "space pen-pencil" of the US-Soviet Space Agency...and so on.
