Bad Teacher is a romantic comedy film released in 2011, directed by director Jack Kasdan and starring Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake, Jason Segel, Lucy Pench, and others.
Elizabeth (Cameron Diaz) is an alternative female teacher who exports "dirty" and longs to get a long-term meal ticket, so she fished a golden beetle son-in-law in the hope of marrying into a wealthy family, but she didn't expect to be dumped by her fiancé on the eve of marriage, so she had to return to campus to continue to mislead people's children.
One day, a handsome and golden-looking substitute teacher Scott (played by Justin Timberlake) came to the school, and Elizabeth tried around the bush and knew that he was not married, so she launched a fierce pursuit of him.
But I didn't expect Scott to fall in love with another female teacher, Amy (played by Lucy Pench), and at this time, a dull-headed physical education teacher in the school, Russell (Jason Segel), became obsessed with Elizabeth again, and what kind of turmoil will such a complex love relationship set off in the simple and sacred campus?
Actress Cameron Diaz said that she played an alternative teacher who redefined education in "Bad Teacher". But after reading it, you will realize that this is not the case at all. Because "Bad Teacher" has no intention of going deep into ** education at all, it simply shows that teachers are also ordinary people, even more fragile, more defeated, more beautiful, and very fond of fake immortals.
Of course, we know that the teacher is just an ordinary person, and it doesn't make much sense to emphasize this, but it seems that the plot of the movie is very superficial, and in the end it is just an American vulgar comedy packaged by the teacher.
Of course, if you really want to say it, "Bad Teacher" is more like a satire on today's society where self-awareness is high, values are confused, and chaos is common, but it doesn't have much to do with teachers.
Hollywood comedies are keen on all kinds of explicit spoof scenes, using exaggerated extremes and banter and irony to create characters, creating unexpected laughs. "Bad Teacher" uses the image of a serious and sanctimonious teacher, which has a lot of conflicts with comedy, and the strong subversion gives people a funny and ridiculous feeling.
But although I say so, the movie is too big, dragging all the teachers into the water, either stupid to the point of not working, or scheming, even the students and parents are weirdos, and the whole world has become abnormal, everyone often makes some out-of-the-ordinary behaviors, crazy drugs, and funny for the sake of being funny, resulting in a bit vulgar and unbearable plot, blind and without texture.
Under the influence of today's social climate, judging people by their appearance seems to be a very common thing, and it also makes us gradually lost, only knowing how to measure a person's value by money and appearance, limited by rules and regulations, and confused our eyes.
Elizabeth's words when comforting a boy who had failed to confess: Seriously, I can't lie to you, this girl will never be interested in you. Never!Although you are very talented, poetic ......, but she likes people like Ian. That's right, he's a fool. But she doesn't care about this, she's very superficial, and her vision is still tm, she likes him because he's popular and **. You're so emotional!」
In fact, what "Bad Teacher" wants to express is to take off your colored glasses, don't let the appearance deceive you, and get out of the trap of the outside and see the most real inside. Because the value of a person's existence does not lie in his glamorous appearance, but in having a life that belongs to himself.
As for the concept of love in "Bad Teacher", it should be looking for the right person in life, and it should not be seen with your eyes, it should be felt with your heart, and you should never waste time on those wrong people. In fact, the longing for love is just a momentary feeling, or just pride and prejudice.
When you love someone, you will say thousands of reasons, and after not loving, you will weave a lot of excuses, so whether it is right or wrong is still out of human nature. In the film, Elizabeth opened her heart, changed her ** degree, no longer stuck to her own obsession, and finally found her own love, which shows that love is so simple, completely in her own hands.
Elizabeth is a money-oriented, marriage-oriented means of accumulating money, irresponsible for teaching, always ignoring people, and often speaking ill of her students, unscrupulous and cunning prodigal daughter. "Bad Teacher" portrays a selfish female teacher who is full of negative emotions in her heart, and the only thing worthy of praise is that she is straightforward, decisive, very tough, and never pretentious.
Cameron Diaz once again exudes the charm of sunshine and plays a crazy comedy role, although her acting skills are also solid, but in terms of character tonality, she is also suitable for this kind of funny and interesting movie. In addition, the figure is maintained very devilish, but unfortunately the face is more and more like an old lady, thinking about the appearance of the sweet sister when "Strange Masterpiece in Disguise", it is really unforgiving!
Elizabeth initially had a nonchalant attitude, always careless, and unwilling to treat others with care, which also led to her relationships and career being a mess. It wasn't until later, in order to get the school's teaching bonus, that she gradually corrected her mentality, took the initiative to teach, and then narrowed the distance between herself and the students, and even comforted the little boy who failed to confess.
This is called "different attitudes determine different outcomes", because what kind of attitude there is, what kind of thinking and behavior will be produced, and the natural results will be different.
Amy is a no.
1. The female teacher, who behaves dirty, always competes with Elizabeth and reports to the principal from time to time. Lucy Pench interprets this character who is full of jealousy and has obscene manners very well, which makes people hate it when they see it, in fact, she is the biggest highlight of this movie!
