This is the saddest educational film I have ever seen-the film Beyond.

When it comes to campus movies, Dead Poets Society and Spring in the Cowboy Class are the easiest to think of. These films tell us how a good teacher affects children at a turning point in life. But there is a movie, which is also a campus theme. There are also responsible good teachers. However, it is full of despair from beginning to end-the movie Beyond.

Henry is a literature teacher. He was hired as a substitute teacher in a middle school. This middle school has the worst students in the whole area. Many students have lower grades than their peers. Parents are indifferent to students, and students give up on themselves. What's more, bullying among students, and even students abusing teachers, are not uncommon.

Henry lives alone. His only relative is his grandfather who lives in the hospital. Grandpa is old and often confused. Sometimes he even locks himself in the bathroom of the ward. Henry often visits him and chats with him.

When Henry was seven years old, his mother committed suicide by taking sleeping pills. When Henry grew up, he vaguely realized that his mother had been sexually assaulted by Henry's grandfather when she was young. So Henry's feelings for grandpa are a little complicated. Even after he became an adult, fragments of memories related to his childhood and his mother will always appear in his mind from time to time. This often makes him feel very painful.

Maybe it's because Henry has a childhood trauma. Therefore, Henry is always more sympathetic to those unfortunate children.

One night, Henry met Erica, an underage prostitute, on the bus. Erica wears heavy makeup and is rude and frivolous. Even openly soliciting customers in the street. But Erica is obviously young. There are obvious injuries on her face and body. She is homeless.

Henry took the child home like a stray cat. He gave Erica food and some medicine to treat trauma. Allow Erica to live in her own home. Grateful Erica tried her best to repay Henry: she cooked and did housework. Help Henry take care of grandpa. Listen to Henry tell the story of his childhood.

But Henry can't provide all the conditions for Erica's growth after all. Henry finally sent Erica to the corresponding child adoption center. Henry visits Erica from time to time.

In Henry's substitute class, there is a female student named George meredith. At school, she would be laughed at and bullied by her classmates because of her obesity.

After George meredith returned to China, her hobbies and lifestyle were not understood by her parents. George meredith loves photography and painting, but his father severely criticized him: "Why don't you paint something positive?" ? Such as bright colors. I worked hard during the day, and my good mood was ruined by your youth anxiety at night. Understand? I'm fed up with your so-called art "

Like many parents, meredith's father didn't understand her thoughts and didn't want to try to understand them. In his view, as long as the child's growth does not meet his own standards, it is wrong and needs to be corrected. He doesn't want to think about whether his verbal violence will hurt his children. It seems that after a hard day's work, when I come home at night, I should naturally see a perfect and excellent child. Otherwise, it is the child's fault.

Therefore, Henry joked that there should be a mandatory condition to train people before they plan to be parents.

Henry saw meredith's helplessness and fragility. He wants to help, but he can't. What's more, Henry is a man with a scar in his heart. Finally, desperate George meredith chose to commit suicide by taking poison.

This school is full of troubled students. But all the teachers saw these children being rebellious, unruly, swearing and fighting because they were at a loss, because they couldn't find the direction. They can only scream in their own way. They are afraid, they are angry. They ask for help in their own way.

The boy who defied Henry openly in Henry's class said "I will miss you" when Henry was about to leave school.

The boy who was sent to the psychological counseling room because of cat abuse, when faced with doubts, said with empty eyes: "I am trapped, just like that cat";

A girl who almost gave up her studies, faced with the future life scene described by the teacher as "you can only compete with 80% of the American labor force for the minimum wage, and you will never turn over", has confusion and fear in her eyes.

Behind the helpless children are irresponsible parents.

When children violate school rules, are punished or even expelled, parents will only be tough and accuse the school of not teaching their children well. But parents rarely think they are responsible for their children. When the school held teacher-parent exchange activities, almost no parents came to participate.

This movie has no happy ending. The movie is depressing and real. At the end of the movie, the vacant person is still vacant and the helpless person is still helpless. Both adults and children have it. In the face of all despair in life, some people will sink, while others will struggle. After hard work, you may or may not see hope. However, you must choose to accept it calmly. Because this is life.
