This is definitely the last blockbuster film of 2016, and seeing half of it is enough to tear up, some people call it the Danish version of "The Melting Pot", but it is more real than "The Melting Pot".
It's the Danish movie Someday.
Danish films are relatively niche, but in recent years there has been no shortage of good films, especially Danish war films, which are simply a clear stream of war films, such as "Minefield" and "War Day" that Amway has lived more than once.
In addition, there is Uncle Ba's "Hunting", and the Douban score is also as high as 9 points.
This time "Someday" is the same, on the search engine, almost can not find any information about the director and the film, is a particularly easy to be overlooked movie, but it is a rare, can bring people a great shock to the unpopular film.
The film currently has an imdb rating of 7.7 and a Douban rating of 8.9, with less than 2,000 people marking it.
"Someday" has been released in Denmark in April this year, the director is the unknown Jesper W. Nelson, and one of the main actors, Russ Mickelson, is Putin's special actor in "House of Cards"
Uncle Max Mickelson's brother. I have to say that these two brothers really have their own advantages on the road of playing perverts.
"Someday" is based on a true story, and these notes at the end of the film can't help but make people cry.
Compared with "The Melting Pot" with similar themes, although it all involves the issue of child sexual abuse, "Someday" is more focused on the process of the victim (the so-called problem child) and the abuser (the educator's school teacher), and this contrasting confrontation makes the contradiction and conflict more intense.
The story takes place in Denmark in 1967, a pair of brothers who have lacked care since childhood have a stubborn temperament, often do some bad things to steal chickens and dogs, and become problem teenagers in the eyes of adults, but they are not bad in nature, and stealing is just to make some money to reduce the burden for their mother.
Due to the death of their father and the cancer of their mother, they were unable to support them and had to be sent to a boarding school run by The Principal Heck.
Heck was convinced that the children here needed to be disciplined, and that he was a violent man who believed that only force could truly convince the children in the school and lead them down the right path.
As a result, the brothers were tortured in this place called the school and the prison, punched and kicked at the slightest disobedience, and even the younger brother had the dream of becoming an astronaut, which was considered arrogant by the teacher and slapped.
Children here, like the brothers, in addition to enduring heavy physical labor, corporal punishment and insults are commonplace, and even in the dead of night, they are called out by perverted male teachers to do unspeakable things.
The children dare not speak out, and when the superior unit comes to inspect, they must pretend to be a prosperous and harmonious scene, otherwise they will be exchanged for a severe beating.
A kind boy tells the brothers that if they want to live here, they must give up their thoughts and become ghosts.
And one of my brother's words was heartbreaking: "How can I be without thinking?" The younger brother still harbors dreams of becoming an astronaut, even though he has mobility issues on one foot.
The children's dream is to stay up until they are 15 years old so they can get out of here, which is what the title refers to – one day.
So the brother turned himself into a ghost and desperately showed himself, so that he could leave with his younger brother on the day he was 15 years old. However, the headmaster left him behind for various reasons, and when he lost his mind, he scratched the headmaster's car in anger, and after a beating, his brother was unconscious and dying.
The perverted principal refused to send his brother to the hospital for treatment, and even wanted to shirk his responsibility.
In order to save his brother, the younger brother did not hesitate to embark on the path of sacrificing himself. In order to have evidence to identify the principal's violence, he put on a homemade spacesuit and smashed the principal's car, deliberately provoking the principal.
And climbed the tower and jumped towards the moon, hoping to realize his last dream - soaring in the vast universe.
Violence in the name of education should not be forgiven, not as a means of education, but as a naked crime.
The teacher's violent behavior against the child in the film is not an obedient child who is on the right track, but an empty and indifferent soul.
When the younger brother was punished for bedwetting and standing outside the cold door without clothes, the other children just followed and rejoiced, even forgetting that they were also in danger.
After the brothers attempted to escape and were taken back to boarding school, the other children lined up at the behest of the principal to repair them.
Violence assimilates the minds of these children whose minds are not yet mature, they become accomplices of the perpetrators, they learn only how to use violence to bring pain to others, while bringing pleasure to themselves, and those who once hated violence the most eventually became the perpetrators of violence, became a real thoughtless ghost, and in the process of punishing others, they looked vicious.
These are the most heart-wrenching places in the whole film.
Fortunately, the film ends with a happy ending, and the brother's efforts have shocked the hearts of all the children, and they finally dare to stand up and identify the ugly behavior of the abuser.
The brothers will one day be able to leave this hellish place and live a normal life.
In real life, the children who have lived in godhavn boarding school are not so lucky, and this experience has brought them a shadow that will accompany them for a lifetime and always linger.
Reality is sometimes much harsher than the movie, but we can't always be silent like a ghost, and someone must always keep their true selves and bravely step out of this film, even if it is only a small step.
