"Big Brother" action comedy also has educational connotations

Hong Kong, China action/comedy movie " Big Brother", released in 2018, directed by Kan Jiawei and written by Kan Jiawei. The film tells about Chen Xia, a fledgling teacher whose students are all on the verge of inferior character and academics As a young man, Chen Xia uses very teaching methods, from home visits, to his favorites, and even to repair the family relationship of each individual, to resolve the problems of each student, and finally to subdue the whole class! When everything is going well, Chen Xia meets The underworld figure Ying Ge, for the students, Chen Xia and Ying Ge started an ultimate battle to protect the students' future!.

"Big Brother" is like the Hong Kong drama "Old Watch, Graduating La!" "The movie version." The movie version has made adjustments to the characters. The two roles played by Guo Jinan and Zhang Jicong were merged into the martial and civilized Chen Xia, and the role of the old principal played by Hu Feng was retained. The school-running mission of "everyone can teach and become talented" is reflected in both versions. The biggest disadvantage of the movie version is that it covers too much and the content is slightly loose. At first, I asked questions about education in Hong Kong, and finally improved to the meaning of life. The topic became deeper and deeper. On the basis of light comedy and plot, the film type also includes a war scene and two action scenes. Fortunately, , Donnie Yen and Qiaoen Chen don’t have too many love scenes, otherwise it’s really comprehensive. To be less rigorous, Ip Man taught martial arts can also be called a teacher, so it is not the first time that Yen Zidan has played a teacher. What's more important is that Donnie Yen is 55 years old after all, and it's getting harder and harder to shoot pure dramas. The circle of the film is very big, and finally Yin Haiguang 's "The Meaning of Life" is used to glue the whole plot. Yin Haiguang is the teacher of Li Ao , he is a logician and philosopher. After graduating from Southwest Associated University , he entered the Institute of Philosophy of Tsinghua University,At the same time, he taught at Nanjing University , and after 1949, he taught at the Department of Philosophy of National Taiwan University. Yin Haiguang’s mentor is Jin Yuelin , and Jin Yuelin is a person who will never marry for Lin Huiyin . From Jin Yuelin to Yin Haiguang to Li Ao, they are all philosophers with stories.

"The Meaning of Life" is Yin Haiguang's post in a speech, and the content related to this film is "Life should have a dream." If you have seen the movie "Wuwen Xidong", I must feel that this topic seems familiar, and the film also talked about the "meaning of life" is a question worth thinking about. Chen Xia (Yen Zidan) became an orphan in his childhood and was raised by an aunt. He has a stubborn personality since he was a child, like a Sun Wukong who is not obedient to discipline. He always makes trouble for his aunt. His uncle is still an American, with cultural differences. Principal Fang (Hu Feng) recommended that Chen Xia go to the U.S. military academy, as if Guanyin asked Monkey King to help Tang Seng learn the scriptures, and went through all the hardships along the way. After growing up, Chen Xia experienced the baptism of war and began to find the way and meaning of life. Principal Fang used another letter of recommendation to ask Chen Xia to return to his alma mater to teach. It seems that a line in the film eagle will return to the starting point, in order to give birth to the next generation. Chen Xia returned to his alma mater. Among his juniors, there are many difficult to discipline, as well as orphans like him. As a past person, he inherited the educational purpose of Principal Fang and influenced every student. The film returns to the original point again. The classmates Chen Xia injured when he was young come to seek revenge, and the two fight life and death at school.

There is no problem with the plot, but the expression is not appropriate. The fight between Chen Xia and Luo Jianmin destroyed all the facilities in the class and the school became a mess. Shouldn't a teacher cherish his work environment? Many action movie protagonists have a line: "Let's go outside to fight." Chen Xia's education has changed the students in the class, but he has been removed from the education system. He cannot change the environment. At the beginning of the film, there was a meaningful line. Director Huang said to the principal: "A long history can also be said to be'backward,' and backwardness will be eliminated." We often talk about the four words of long history.
