一个带着金丝边眼镜,领带衬衫,褐色头发的男人。可眼睛里却是热力四射的光芒,记得GTO中的鬼冢英吉吗?没错,RON和那个自称要成为最伟大的教师的小混混从事着同样的职业——老师。没有鬼冢的狂野和不羁,RON有的是热情和思想还有成熟男人特有的温柔。
RON CLARK从北卡罗莱纳前往纽约大都市一所中学开始了他新的教师生涯。他年轻充满热情富有创造力。他运用独特的教学规则和革新式的教学方法教育每个调皮的小捣蛋,为家境困难想要念书的女孩打通通往课堂的道路,让有着艺术天赋的男孩得以发挥特长。即使刚从肺炎中解脱出来,CLARK马上投入到他的调皮学生当中。
学校中的题材永远挖不完,我们知道中国的教育精髓,我们看过鬼冢的日式狂放教育,但是我们没有见过美国学校中如此热血的CLARK,年轻的学生有着各式各样烦恼和天赋,尖锐叛逆,在美国这个倡导自由的国家里CLARK和学生究竟碰撞出怎样的火花?何况出演主角RON的演员可是在Friend和The West Wing的Matthew Perry哦。
Kaveh Tehrani's coming-of-age film is an adaptation of Gulraiz Sharif's 2020 novel, depicting the increasingly complex summer vacation of 15-year-old Mahmoud. Not only does a sociable uncle from Pakistan visit, but Mahmoud must also navigate the family crisis that unfolds when his little brother Ali has a secret that turns their whole world upside down.
It doesn't take long for the film to set the tone: The protagonist, Mahmoud, almost immediately breaks the fourth wall, seamlessly taking on the role of the narrator. The film doesn't look back: it brims with techniques and devices that inject energy into the narrative and provide a framework for the themes, taking us under the skin of what turns out to be a poignant, thought-provoking family drama – all wrapped in the attractive guise of comedy.
Questions about identity and belonging in Norwegian society (for both young and older characters) within a multicultural family from Oslo become the central driving force. The adaptation of Gulraiz Sharif's book is solidly directed by debut filmmaker Kaveh Tehrani. While the film aims to maintain its entertainment value, it also carries a sharp political edge – directed equally against society's rigid class structures and conservative family traditions. The talented child actors in the lead roles carry the heart of the film on their shoulders, ensuring that few leave the theater untouched in the end.
