電影心得 Thoughts after watching the movie
邢致遠跟前面兩個主角比較不一樣,他們是因為失去,所以想要尋找方式去克服,而邢致遠是拋棄擁有的,去追逐自己真正想要擁有的。
邢致遠 傅孟柏 飾
建國中學畢業,當年聯考全台榜首棄台大當老師,卻一直找不到正職,有著滿滿的教育理想卻頻頻碰壁,邢致遠的人生從大家普遍認為的勝利組,走到人人喊打的魯蛇組。想要用行動證明不是只有念書就是成功的邢老師,在花蓮遇上阿東等人,更邂逅了打工時期崇拜他的小學妹余靜,上軌道的「七月男孩」,讓它更加明白自己想走的路。
“ 她(余靜)就是那種看到紅燈會停下來,看到綠燈才會往前走的台北人,而我,是看到黃燈後,會加速往前衝的台北人。 — 邢致遠”
其實我們應該都一直為了「成功」去努力,可是在這個社會上彷彿已經有一套公式為了「成功」進行定義,考上第一志願高中、念頂尖大學所謂大家公認的頂尖科系,之後順遂的過完餘生,買方買車、結婚生子……多的數不清的目標和標準去評斷一個人是否成功。但邢致遠卻想要大力衝破這個枷鎖,他認為自己可悲到只有念書,連母親喪禮上親戚給他的安慰都是「好好念書」。
雖然邢老師前面好像覺得自己到花蓮是個失敗,因為他還是想要光榮地回到台北,而且邢致遠不是遵循著世人對於資優生的期待進入相關科系,他像是在人生的紅綠燈中,在黃燈前加速衝向一個未知的道路;卻在阿東及余靜身上看到不同的生命,也在帶領「七月男孩」後,被那些可能被外界認為沒有前途的孩子為夢想努力的拚勁感動,發現了身為一個教育者可以帶給孩子多大的影響力後,不再認為自己到花蓮是可恥的,反而留下來回饋。
當時看電影時剛考完學測,現在寫這篇也剛好是下一屆考完學測,面臨人生選擇的考生們,最常出現的問題便是在父母期望與自己興趣或想法中猶豫。每個家庭狀況不一樣,我不好說我的方法或誰的解決方式最好,不過我想說的是,我也在當初選科系時被家中長輩給予意見,但是我也有自己想要或喜歡的科系院校,我很膽小,沒有甚麼親子溝通,但我堅持填了清華,也堅持來面試,放榜後也堅持要念。因為我認為,不管這個科系在其他人眼裡是一個怎樣的科系,只要是自己選的,最後不管後果是好是壞,至少我願意自己負責,因為我有位自己的未來負責,至少我都是做了自己想要做的事。
我們幾乎總是在當紅燈停綠燈行的台北人,卻忽略有時候人生需要在黃燈前稍微加速一下,那是需要勇氣的,沒有說中規中矩的人生不好,而是說當你可能發現自己卡在某個路口時,是不是可以考慮一下不要遇到紅燈就停,稍微衝一下,可能就會突破自己。至少我們可以感謝自己是有能力和機會為自己做決定的時候,人生真的多少要為自己想一點,因為不見得每次選擇時,都有機會可以自己做決定。
While teacher Xing was different from the other two that they were losing someone important and wanted to find the way conquer it; Xing was disposing what he had already had and follow what he actually wanted.
Chih-yuan Xing played by Fu Meng-po
A teacher who graduated from Chien Kuo senior high school and got the highest score in the exam of entering the university, had chose to be a teacher that made him fall down by the heaven of victors to the hell of losers thought by others. The time he met Jing and Dong changed his view to success = and he understood which road he should walk.
“She is the person of Taipei that stop in front of red light and walk after green light on; I am the Taipei person rush when seeing yellow light. — Xing Chih-yuan ”
Although teacher Xing considered he was a loser as he taught in Hualien, he wanted to do something different in order to change the impression of A+ student. He seemed like violating regulations of life and head to the unknown world. After meeting Jing and the ‘’ July Boy band’’, he finally realized the responsibility of education and how big the effect could a teacher brought to those kids judged by others might not have goof future.
Actually, I am not the person who has big courage to breakthrough some regulations. While I insisted on choosing my favorite department and university in my grade 3 in senior high. Nothing surprisingly that there were some adults gave me some suggestions, but my persistence made me finish interviews and I decided to study in NTHU after the announcement. Hence, I think no matter how your choice thought by others, we should make decisions by our own preference because we will take responsibility to the consequence by ourselves. It is precious that we have chance and ability to make decisions.
I watched this movie after my General Scholastic Ability Test, and the time I public these articles is also after the test of my juniors. Whereas we are often being obedient, it is another chance of us to do some different when facing obstacles. It might bring some amazing sequences if we try. Cherish the time we can take care of ourselves by our own abilities.
