It's time to really reveal your age.
One question:
When you think of the couple Takashi Antimachi and Nanako Matsushima, what drama comes to mind?
Confused?
It doesn't matter.
Plus a few more people -
Shun Oguri, Yosuke Kubozuka, Hiroyuki Ikeuchi, Yuta Yamazaki, Hidenori Tokuyama, Naoto Fujiki......
Friends who are not young, the answer should be forthcoming, right?
That's right, "Spicy Teacher".
A Japanese drama that swept the whole of East Asia back then, and made countless teenagers have the image of "ideal teacher" from now on.
What I never expected.
After a lapse of 26 years, this memory drama is back, and the original cast starred in the sequel.
Yes.
The vast majority of the people mentioned above Sir participated in the performance.
How to say it.
encounters such a drama, even if it is a mess, Sir will not hesitate to look for it.
After all, that's youth.
Not to mention.
This time it's no longer about working hard to achieve a dream, but about the demise of the dream itself—
Spicy Teacher GTO resurrected
GTO Revival
Speaking of which, do you remember the name?
Hideyoshi Oni.
A teacher who has nothing to do with "being a teacher".
The end of "Spicy Teacher" in 1998.
What we see is a perfect fairytale ending -
Hideyoshi Onizuka stopped in front of the plane that was about to take off, opened his arms, and caught the hug of Fuyutsuki-sensei, who had become a flight attendant.
The hero hugged the beauty.
Can be 26 years later.
Contrary to expectations, Hideyoshi Onizuka is already a "legendary" teacher who has been expelled from thirty schools.
Why?
Because his teaching method is still not accepted by the public.
Even more unsuccessful.
Due to his bad reputation, no school wanted to use him anymore, so he had to run food delivery on a motorcycle.
emm...... How can you not be sure of sticking to the dream of a "motorcycle boy"?
But suddenly one day, the situation changed.
His former student Yoshito Kikuchi approached him and asked him to go undercover at an academy to investigate possible money laundering at the school.
What's the situation?
Of course Onizuka doesn't do it, saying I'm not interested.
But Kikuchi Yoshito said another thing, that is, one of the students who Onizuka taught is now teaching at that academy, but a few days ago, a video of his class was posted on the Internet.
Suffered online violence.
What the?
Own students being bullied?
Coupled with the persuasion of a group of former students, Onizuka did not hesitate to go to that school to report.
He was back as a teacher.
It looks like a familiar road.
When encountering problem students, Onizuka continues to show his strengths-
He mercilessly crushed the luxury goods with a chainsaw, and told her that you don't need such affirmation.
For young girls who are supported by poor families, they introduce her to jobs.
As for the baseball boy who has become extreme because of broken dreams and family conflicts, he is approached with a baseball game.
And what about the original purpose, to expose the truth about online violence?
The second half of the story.
Onizuka finally discovered the mastermind behind the online violence, but even so, the counterattack he gave was also an "education of love".
That's right, it's still the spicy teacher.
Nothing seems to have changed.
But.
If you look closely at the brushstrokes depicting Hideyoshi Onizuka, you will see that there is a very different transformation from the previous ones.
If the previous episodes had a rebellious tone, portraying Hideyoshi Onizuka as a Monkey King-like hero, then in the 2024 theatrical version, the rendering of the heroic atmosphere seems to have been reduced a lot.
Even, a mockery of the hero himself was added.
Yes, for Sir, the biggest feeling of watching "Spicy Teacher GTO Resurrection" is that time is no more.
It's like the twilight of a hero, and it's cruel to look closely.
Especially the anti-Machi Takashi.
is not only old, but also less suitable for this role.
If the 25-year-old anti-machi Takashi makes a contemptuous exaggerated expression in front of the camera, he can be called a "man-tearing man" who is faithful to the original work.
He was over half a hundred years old and had gray hair on his sideburns, but he made the same move again, but he felt a sense of weirdness.
It makes people feel ...... He was indeed acting.
It's not because he's no longer handsome and dashing.
It's just that it seems that his temperament is no longer suitable for playing a hot-blooded teacher from the biker.
As a dad of two.
A formal suit suits him better than a T-shirt with a star on the collar.
So you look at the scene where Onizuka takes a chainsaw and destroys the luxury goods that the students have paid.
It turned out to be just a poor parody of the past.
But.
Even so, along with the theme song, Onizuka is seen appearing on a motorcycle.
Sir will still have an inexplicable excitement.
POISON~This world where you can't say what you want to say ~,Antimachi Takashi
Why?
Because Hideyoshi Onizuka may have deeply influenced the growth trajectory of a generation.
At that time, the students longed for a teacher like Hideyoshi Onizuka to understand themselves.
It's like a Japanese drama in 1998.
When students have dreams for the future and are ignorant of the adult world, they are often hit on the head by the old-fashioned and strict system.
The Director of Discipline will say, "You're trash!
It's so simple and crude.
They don't want to be judged by such simple standards, and they want to rebel.
So Hideyoshi Onizuka is the hero idol of that generation.
It's just a pity.
The era of heroes seems to have come to an end.
In other words, students no longer need rebellious hero idols.
They have no incentive to resist.
There is a plot in the theatrical version.
When Eikichi Onizuka arrives at the new school, he asks the students if they have any dreams, and the answer is a burst of laughter.
"It's rare to have people with dreams now. ”
What do you mean?
To put it simply, the set that Onizuka believes in is "outdated".
In school, there are often only two states.
In addition to the roll, that is, to lie.
There is no option for "rebellion" and "rebellion" with respect to the meritocracy rule other than active adaptation and indifference.
Chasing your dreams? I chose to take the postgraduate examination for the public examination.
Just saying that word already makes people laugh.
Once, it was in the boredom and boredom of nowhere to go that people would be contemplative and give birth to the destructive desire of rebellious teenagers.
On the other side of this desire to destroy, the desire to create, new dreams, is just beginning to sprout.
If it is not broken, it will not stand.
But now—
There will be no more "Rebellion Without a Cause", there will be no more "Sky of Bad Boys".
There is only a group of silent teenagers who are addicted to nipple music.
After all.
Who is still a ghost fire boy now? Aren't they all brushing Kuaishou Douyin at home?
Yes, some kind of clue to this shift has been given in the theatrical version - the abundance of short videos dissolves boredom and boredom.
You can kill the day at your fingertips, and you can get the satisfaction of traffic by posting videos.
But is that all there is to it?
That's probably the question posed by this theatrical version.
Yes, the times are different, but the times have changed, and the spirit of hard work and struggle will become the object of ridicule?
Sir disagrees.
The creators apparently disagree either.
And so it came to the end.
Ghost Tsuka still talked about the idea of helping students build their dreams.
Let's be honest.
This kind of language is just a gourd drawing a scoop, which is extremely thin.
As if the creator was saying.
In the face of the current situation, there is nothing they can do to change it.
Just like at the end of the 1998 episode, Hidekichi Onizuka sets off fireworks on the school building that is about to be bulldozed, in an almost mythical image, openly contemptuous of the Japanese Ministry of Education officials downstairs.
What a clear metaphor for the students to revel above the heads of officials and crowds.
Now, this edge to reality is almost non-existent.
It can only use the final reconciliation to dissolve the contradictions between the education system and people that have been mentioned in the film.
I know that there is no edge.
But it seems that this is the only way to deal with it.
Speaking of which.
Sir remembered a plot from the movie: Onizuka's motorcycle, which was used as a mockery object by the students, was plastered with notes and leaked air, and he had to push the car on the road in embarrassment.
This is, of course, a failure.
But what moved Sir's heart was that his friend who helped push the cart teased him, why did he insist on driving such an old-fashioned motorcycle?
Why?
Because, that's the biker boss's motorcycle.
Maybe he's not outdated.
It's just that I can't bear to abandon some of the old rules.
It's just a pity.
Today, such a rule can only be out of place.
This is true for Onizuka.
The same is true for this theatrical version.
So in general.
This "Spicy Teacher GTO Resurrection" is actually only those former roles and former actors.
It is powerless to resurrect the spirit of the past.
So it came to the end of the movie.
Such a topic finally ended in a warm vein.
It turns to feelings again—
Teacher Onizuka and Teacher Fuyutsuki said goodbye to the students and the audience in front of the camera with a smile.
That's right, seeing that the students of that year have become big stars, and seeing that Nanako is still so beautiful.
Sir is actually quite satisfied.
But.
If it is only for the sake of being in the same frame this time, and 26 years later, such a theatrical version will be filmed by the public.
Actually, you don't have to.
