When our domestic youth films are still stuck in the ever-changing of truancy, group fights, breakups, and abortions, the Thai movie "Genius Gunner" has taken a different path from the ordinary life of students and derived a cheating drama comparable to spy movies.

A test is "fixed" for life, and too many people have achieved a different life because of an exam. Everyone will say that the college entrance examination is not your only way out, but for the original unfair origin, the college entrance examination is still the only way out for many poor students.

Lynn as a female school bully at the beginning is only to help good friends, because of the school system, poor grades Grace even to participate in extracurricular activities have become a luxury, is not it said that there are good teachings and classes? If you don't study well, you don't even have the right to participate in activities? What makes people classified as three, six, and nine is not only the innate intellectual factor, but also more likely to be some system. What really put the heroine on the cheating industry chain is the school, because the truth that Lynn got is that the tuition fee reduction and the sponsorship fee charged according to the grade are simply a dime a dozen. Of course, for the plot setting of the aristocratic school, the high-priced sponsorship fee is also reasonable. Schools are not charities, and schools need financial support for a better teaching environment and teaching quality, but the meaning of education is to inherit and enlighten ideas, so schools should not be reduced to money-making machines. The conversation between Lynn and the principal speaks volumes about a new curiosity seeker's questioning of this paradoxical society. Like a bank that works hard to live, he does his best without a good birth, but he is still deceived by life, and the only hope of changing the trajectory of life by relying on scholarships is also ruined by a little means of the rich second generation Pat, so he began to embark on the road of turning a small sheep into a big bad wolf. So someone said that no one is kind, just to see if the temptation you face is big enough.

Therefore, the most likely to cause contradictions and dramatic tensions in the student era is not love, not quarrels, or even bullying, but - exams, more precisely, exams in the exam room. Because in this short period of time, the respective performances and facial expressions of the bully and the scum are more extreme, the students and the invigilator are opposed to each other, the cheating students and the non-cheating students are opposed to each other, and the cheating students and teachers are also opposed to each other.

"Genius Gunner" is to find the clouds above the examination room, but it is not only to present the examination room, it also depicts the ordinary family bully, rich and solid scum, the moral and calm school and other Thai beings, more interestingly, some details reflect the rigidity of education, class solidification, personal choice before the temptation of profit and a series of practical problems.

Cheating is disdainful, but "Genius Gunner" makes cheating a career, and the tense soundtrack brings the audience into it, holding their breath, with mixed feelings, unable to determine their position: Should we pray for the success of the cheating career? Or is it politically correct to change from evil to right?
