This summer vacation, I was obsessed with the movie " catches the baby ". After watching it, I couldn't let it go for a long time.
Ma Chenggang is a rich man. In order to train his son Ma Jiye, his family moved to a dilapidated old house and started a plan to raise children from poverty.
Ma Chenggang invited various experts to "train" his children. Ma Jiye lived under surveillance for more than ten years. His diaries were analyzed, and even his micro-expressions were analyzed. Ma Jiye is like a research object who has been studied by a group of people for more than ten years.
If viewed as a comedy, "Catch a Baby" is undoubtedly a success. The scenes of Shen Teng and Ma Li standing together, needless to say, have comedic chemistry with their lines.
If this movie is a satire on Chinese education and discusses the values of Chinese education at a deeper level, I personally feel that this movie cannot convey correct values.
Although it is a comedy, I don’t think everything can be made fun of. I even thought some of the plots were quite outrageous.
No. 1: Picking up bottles and being bullied
Ma Jiye, who was still in elementary school, went through the trash can to pick up bottles and was bullied by his classmates. His mother saw it on the surveillance camera and was very angry. Although his father felt distressed after seeing it, he didn't do anything. Any help, even pretending not to know afterwards.
This paragraph makes people really angry and uncomfortable. Some hardships can be tolerated by children, and some hardships cannot be tolerated. Children who grow up relying on suppression will hardly have a sound personality.
What Lao Ma said in the movie is right, the habit of three views should be grasped from an early age, but bullying is a bit suffocating. Parents do not consider the child's psychological perspective, allowing other children to bully, and they are bullied since childhood. , causing lifelong psychological damage to children.
Facts have proved that picking up bottles has affected Ma Jiye's life. In high school, he was called a rag horse by his classmates. Even if he finally broke away from his parents' control and went to participate in a marathon, he would stop to pick up bottles when he saw bottles and .
It can be seen that the behavior of picking up bottles has become a subconscious behavior that does not require thinking.
Second: Funeral Scene
Teacher Li pretending to be a grandma was exposed in advance. In order not to affect Ma Jiye's college entrance examination, Lao Ma arranged a funeral for Teacher Li.
At the funeral, when everyone was desperately acting, only the child knelt on the ground and cried heartbrokenly.
I think Teacher Li has realized that he shouldn’t deceive Ma Jiye with life and death. He sat up and called Jiye’s name, but his parents still wanted to go down a dark road and tried their best to cover up and push Teacher Li away.
Even Lao Ma said: "How many people can experience the resurrection of their loved ones? This is already a great blessing in their lives."
The funeral scene even made me feel disgusted. Life should not joke about life and death, and life and death should not be joked about. To deceive a child is to destroy a child's trust.
Many viewers were amused by the scene of the fake corpse. I just felt distressed, helpless and sad.
Third: Hand in a blank paper in the college entrance examination
After Ma Jiye discovered the true identity of his parents, he handed in a blank paper in the college entrance examination.
If Ma Jiye’s family is very poor and he studied hard for ten years just to change his destiny in today’s college entrance examination, the act of handing in a blank paper is an apology for the hard work of himself and his family, and also irresponsible for his own life.
If he turned in a blank test after discovering that his family was rich, would this be interpreted as a willful behavior? It doesn’t matter whether he takes the exam or not. He has a strong family background, can make trial and error at will, and the cost is low, so he can mess around at will.
Why can Ma Jiye finish all the subjects before running away from his parents and confronting them? Although it is said that the college entrance examination is only for two days without parental supervision, it is not too late to resist after finishing the last subject.
And his behavior of handing in blank papers will mislead some children from ordinary families to give up studying for the so-called pursuit of freedom in life.
This movie uses comedy to express it, which weakens all evil. However, sadness is the background, and Ma Jiye is the only one who is sad in the whole drama.
What it wants to satirize may be the tragedy of Chinese education, or it may be the consequences of parents interfering too much in their children's lives.
But is this movie really a satire?
After watching, some viewers said: I actually sadly think that Ma Jiye was raised so well, I am quite envious, and his parents also love him.
Some parents: Their parents have sacrificed themselves for this, educating him into a talented person, what else is there to be dissatisfied about? In the end, aren’t all children pretty good?
Everyone is attracted by this movie, and different people have different perceptions. Some sympathize with Ma Jiye, while others envy Ma Jiye. As a comedy, you can laugh it off, but every value is open to question!
