Chapter 24: Freedom and Dreams
"Could it be... Is it really fake?"
The next day, Thundercloud, who was sitting alone in the library, looked at the computer screen in front of him in a daze.
What appears on the computer screen is the introduction of U235's encyclopedia, due to the small influence of electronic music in China, this encyclopedia basically does not have much information, just write two sentences very briefly.
'U235, formerly known as Kevin Stark, was born in Boom Town, Belgium, a famous Belgian DJ, good at Dubstep style, self-created label - DPS (Dead Poets Society), currently ranked 8th among the world's top 100 DJs. ’
Thundercloud frowned, and almost memorized the pitiful introduction in front of him.
He couldn't help but open Twitter again and looked at it, and found that the other party still hadn't replied to him, and he couldn't help but feel even more bottomless.
“Mr. U235, I want to know something about STD international electronic syllables. Could you please send me some information?”
[Mr. U235, I would like to know about the STD International Electronic Music Festival, can you send me some information?]
Lei Yun looked at the last message in front of him, and since he sent this message, the other party has never replied to him.
But it seems that there are no replies in total.,It's as if it's going offline directly.,There's no movement anymore.。
He scratched his head and felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said, the wording was very polite and decent, and there was no tone of doubt or questioning, there was no problem that would offend the other party, but why didn't he reply to himself?
Could it be that his tune is just a whim?
Or maybe you haven't logged on to Twitter since you went offline yesterday?
Or is this just a complete hoax?
You can't blame Thundercloud for his cranky thinking, it's really that his expectations for this matter are so high that he even loses his normal heart to look at this matter.
“Dead Poets Society?”
couldn't help but switch back to the encyclopedia page of U235, Lei Yun looked at the already ripe introduction, and suddenly muttered.
This is U235's own electronic music label, specializing in the release of Dubstep-style electronic music, he had a whim, quickly pasted and copied, wanted to search for relevant information about this electronic music label.
"Uh, Death Poets Society? ”
What makes Lei Yun a little confused is how he searched for the name of an electronic music label, but the final result is a movie called "Dead Poets Society"?
No, is it true that even this electronic music label is fake?
It's unlikely, isn't it, otherwise why would it be written like this in the encyclopedia?
With a stomach full of strangeness, Lei Yun still clicked on the encyclopedia of "Dead Poets Society" and looked at it, he wanted to see if there was any connection between the two.
"Dead Poets Society" is a youthful poem, and many people even start to write poetry after reading it, but what normally makes this movie ignite in the hearts of fans is the spirit of freedom, the liberation of oneself, and the rebirth of the soul, which is the true meaning of Mr. Keating in the film. ’
This is the beginning of a film review about "Dead Poets Society", which made Thundercloud a little interested in this movie.
He roughly skimmed through the synopsis of the story and found that this is a high-scoring classic movie about liberalism, pursuing dreams, finding oneself, and independent thinking.
Released in 1989, the film grossed more than $235 million worldwide, was nominated for four awards at the 62nd Academy Awards, and finally won the Best Original Screenplay award.
It can be said that it has achieved a double harvest of word-of-mouth and box office, which aroused Lei Yun's curiosity, anyway, there will be nothing to do, so I simply opened this movie and watched it.
The film tells the story of a thoughtful teacher and a group of students who want to break through themselves, and the grand opening ceremony is taking place to the melodious sound of Scottish bagpipes.
Wilton aristocratic school, which blindly pursues the admission rate and only has high scores, has a dull and depressing, rigid and conservative college atmosphere at the beginning.
Depressed classmates privately complain that the school is a hell college, until the appearance of a new teacher, Keating, ignites the most primitive desire in their hearts with a new and different way of teaching classes.
Mr. Keating took the students out of the classroom and looked at photographs of the deceased alumni, who replaced his name with "Oh, Captain, My Captain" from Whitman's poem.
The students were obviously shocked by this unconventional teacher, and their eyes couldn't help but shine.
“Size the day,Boys.”
【Have fun in time, kids】
“Make your lives extraordinary.”
【Make a difference in your life】
This is the first lesson that Mr. Keating taught to his students, he told them to cherish their time, have fun in time, live in the moment, and create extraordinary!
The thunderclouds in front of the screen seemed to be ignited at this moment, and he couldn't help but press the pause button, muttering the phrase 'Size the day', just feeling as if he was talking specifically to himself at the moment.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, looking at the 'Size the day' on the screen, Lei Yun suddenly realized that this is not the abbreviation of the three English letters of STD?!
Could it be that STD International Electronic Music Festival is actually an abbreviation of 'Size The Day', which means timely fun?
Dead Poets Society label, and the Timely Musical Electronic Syllables.
Isn't that a perfect match?!
"Whew..."
With a long sigh of relief, forcibly suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, Lei Yun pressed the play button to continue watching.
What I didn't expect was that Mr. Keating's second lesson actually asked the students to tear off all the prefaces of the textbook in class, not only the students in the movie were stunned, but even the thunderclouds outside the screen were stunned.
In the end, the students boldly tore off with the encouragement of Mr. Keating, and it was not only the textbook that was torn off, but also the coat of dogma!
The idea of rote memorization and reverence for textbooks began to waver in the hearts of the students, and the disintegration of dogmatism began with questioning, and Mr. Keating guided the students to take the first step, planting the seeds of independent thinking in their hearts, and also giving them great strength, causing an earthquake in the long-suffocated minds of Wilton students.
At this time, the source of Mr. Keating's unusual thinking and deviant behavior, the Death Poets Society, finally surfaced in the play.
It is an organization that absorbs the essence of life through poetry exchanges, and it has an unparalleled attraction and charm for students of this age.
Inspired by poetry, they decided to follow the example of Mr. Keating and set up a new era of Dead Poetry Society.
They violated the curfew, sneaked out of the school in the middle of the night, and went into the Indian cave where Mr. Keating gathered, singing beautiful poems together, twisting and dancing with a strong rhythm of African primitive dance, releasing the passion and surging of youthful life.
Because of the Death Poetry Society, they have changed their views on many things they are accustomed to, excavated the beauty and passion under the ordinary daily life, changed passivity to initiative, and replaced ignorance with emotion.
Although it is called "death", it is actually a new life of the soul.
With the help of Mr. Keating and the Death Poets Society, these students rediscover themselves, examine their lives, and resolve to break free from the daily routine.
One of the students, Neil, became an actor was his biggest dream in life, but his father's coldness and reprimand, stubbornness and authoritarianism forced him to become a doctor.
However, Neil was in great pain between reality and dreams, and finally chose to end his young life with a bullet, and Mr. Keating was tragically dismissed from class, used as a scapegoat by the school, and finally left in disgrace.
It's just that at the end of the film, Mr. Keating is fired by the school, and when he returns to the classroom to take his things, the emotions accumulated in the whole movie all explode at that moment!
The students stood on their desks with great audacity and shouted at the departing Mr. Keating.
"Oh, Captain, my Captain!"
Mr. Keating smiled with relief.
He knew that although he was gone, those beliefs about freedom and dreams had already taken root in the hearts of these students!
It is a kind of appeal for love, a desire for dreams, a yearning for freedom, and a persistence in self!
"This... ”
When the movie is all over and only lines of subtitles are left in front of him, Thundercloud still can't react, just staring at the screen in front of him stupidly, not knowing what to think.
In the movie, Mr. Keating, who guides students to think independently, the Death Poets Society, who gives students a new lease of life, Neil, who boldly pursues his dreams but has no choice but to end his life, and the students who finally stand on their desks and shout 'My Captain'...
Scenes of the movie kept flashing in front of his eyes at this moment, and Lei Yun only felt that his heart was suddenly filled with something, and he wanted to say something, but he found that his thoughts were surging, and he obviously had so many words in his heart, but in the end he didn't know what to say.
"Freedom... Dreams..."
In the pitch-black movie subtitles, a pair of big bright eyes are shining.
Neil in the movie bravely pursues his dreams, but in the end ends his life is dismal.
And what about yourself?
In front of dreams.
And what kind of answer will be given?
Thinking of this thundercloud, I couldn't help laughing, although the movie ended in tragedy, but the kind of emotion and power it brought to people, like the other students in the movie, has been deeply rooted in everyone's hearts.
As for the answer?
Isn't it already obvious ...
