"Galaxy Tutorial" is a film led by Deng Chao and Yu Baimei. Compared with the previous works of the pair, the comedy style of this work has retreated behind. Using father-son warmth and inspirational elements to discuss serious topics has become the main appeal of "Galaxy Tutorial".
bears the brunt. The film criticizes some of the shortcomings of the existing education system, such as "point-only theory", "discrimination of poor students", "militarized management", and "excessive tutoring". In the film, Director Yan, the teaching director of Boyu School, bears all the negative effects of education abuses, which gives people an impression of "criticizing to Director Yan". Some viewers think that when the story is about to end, "teaching reform" is regarded as a solution. The life-saving straw of the problem is a kind of "surrenderism", which makes the film controversial-is it really discussing educational issues?
However, I don't think so. Educational issues and the relationship between father and son, or just a vain shot of "Galaxy Tutorial", are used to create discussion and attractiveness, form its commercial value, and encourage more audiences to enter the theater. Inside, "Galaxy Tutorial" The other core is discussing the survival and dignity of a generation of intellectuals, including the impact and influence of their tortuous fate on the entire society.
Zhou Xingchi’s "Yangtze River No. 7", the role of father far exceeds that of his son, "Galaxy Tutorial" is even more important, it focuses more on the father, no matter how many tears the plot about the relationship between father and son creates, "Galaxy Tutorial" "Always put the focus on the father habitually, which will make people try to penetrate the surface of the movie, learn more about the father’s identity and try to dig out the creator’s deep intentions. The
film started from the 1990 Beijing Asian Games, and in 2019, Ma Haowen (Deng Chao)’s son Ma Fei (Bai Yu) took a rocket into outer space. The film used thirty years of iconic events and popular songs to make people Familiar with the background of the times, the audience usually pays attention to the development and changes of the times, and ignores the connection between the changes of Ma Haowen’s fate and the times. In fact, Ma Haowen does not only appear in the story as a father, more often he is The epitome of intellectuals of that generation.
Deng Chao's performance in the "Galaxy Tutorial" is easily reminiscent of Lu Yanzhi, who is played by Chen Daoming in Zhang Yimou's film "Return". The two characters Ma Haowen and Lu Yanshi have highly similar intellectual qualities, elegant and tolerant, and face the injustice of fate with an open-minded attitude. Many people only know Deng Chao in TV dramas and variety shows, but they don't know that Deng Chao is one of the most suitable actors to play the role of intellectuals. He can interpret the loneliness and frustration of intellectuals extremely well.
When I watched "Galaxy Tutorial", I mostly focused on Ma Haowen. This is a typical tragic character. The bridge designed by the unit collapsed. He took the main responsibility. After being released from prison, he was humiliated for his whole life. In fact, he was framed by his apprentice and carried the scapegoat for the unit... In the face of careful construction, Ma Haowen was powerless. There is almost no courage and strength to resist, and jail is his only destiny.
"Galaxy Tutorial Class" uses Ma Haowen as the thread to construct three lines of power relations. One is the relationship between Ma Haowen and his unit and colleagues, the other is the relationship between Ma Haowen and school and school leaders, and the third is Ma Haowen and society (including He hopes that he can rehabilitate his unjust case). On these three lines of power relations, Ma Haowen is undoubtedly the weakest party. The reason for being insulted and harmed is simple because he has been trying to defend his pride. The gray-haired Ma Haowen said to his son who hoped that he would continue to bear the humiliation, "I am a proud person." Ma Haowen insisted on appealing his unjust cases for many years, and beating his apprentice in the tavern that year. These are all his ways to defend his pride. It is also easy to crush his pride, even if his son also joins the "muddy water" and becomes a part of wronging him.
Fortunately, after a communication failure in the spacecraft, Ma Fei remembered his father's lifelong teachings. Not only did he save his life and protect the safety of the spacecraft, he also stood with his father again with pride. But, this is a movie. In reality, will pride eventually defeat selfishness and interests? We don't know.
"Galaxy Tutorial" seems to be telling the story of a father tutoring his son, but it is actually about a father's personal history. In Ma Haowen, we can see the vigor and bottom line of a generation of intellectuals, as well as their romance and persistence. This father has the ability to discover and solve problems, and is good at creating vitality in desperate situations, but under the constraints of darkness and prejudice, silkHe couldn't move at all, the time he spent with his son became the only happy moment. In addition, his life color was bleak. After seeing my son bottoming out and becoming an inspirational element of school pride, we should reflect on how my father's low-key, cautious, and hard-working life was formed. If you don’t see this, it means you haven’t paid attention to the biggest point of "Galaxy Tutorial".
The space scene of "Galactic Cram School" runs through the whole film. Although it is a realistic work, it can also be viewed as a "space movie". The distance between space and the earth, past and present, space and time, opens up the distance between space and time. Intuitively see the loneliness of people and the helplessness that people face as social animals. The tone of "Galaxy Tutorial" is inspirational, and the ending is satisfactory, but we must also see the deep regret and inner prosperity hidden behind the story, which are the scars left by the past years to a group.
