＂Galactic Tutoring School＂： A Big Encyclopedia of ＂Confidential Body＂

　　At 147 minutes, "The Milky Way School" is a "feat" – the last "Avengers: Infinity War" was only 149 minutes long after crazy "digging". For a family melodrama movie that doesn’t rely on big special effects and doesn’t have any big scenes, it’s hard not to worry that the film will be reduced to a crazy water-filled gag joke collection.

　　However, after watching it, I found that I was overthinking: this is not a highlight movie, this is clearly an encyclopedia movie. 147 minutes is completely compressed for the film, and the ultimate goal of the film should be to become a bound copy of "Confidential Voice" in the station bookstore – after all, what does that say? There is nothing that cannot be solved by a bowl of chicken soup. If there is, then have two bowls. "Galaxy Tutoring School" is a large pot of chicken soup cooked by Deng Chao and Yu Baimei, but there are too many seasonings to drink the original taste of chicken soup.

　　Deng Chao’s film and television production has been severely reduced in recent years, and it once gave the impression that he had to concentrate on transforming into a variety bar. In the show, he shouted "wood cutting tired" too much, and the audience inevitably did not "solidify" his image. In 2018, the big-screen work "Shadow" suffered a lot during the shooting, and there were still audiences who wanted to play after watching it. "Galaxy Tutoring School" found his old partner Yu Baimei. The family theme was easy and pleasant to shoot, and the character image was close to the variety show character, which was more labor-saving and pleasing. In 2017, Deng Chao and Han Han cooperated on "Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves", not only to earn a salary, but also to learn a lot of lessons successfully.

　　"Galaxy Cram School" takes the nostalgic golden melody and emotional chicken soup route. The "happy education" promoted by the film is the most instinctive and simple desire of ordinary people who know nothing or little about the scientific and systematic nature of education. It sounds reasonable, but it is actually plausible. The film does not dare or have the ability to discuss education issues in depth. The essence of the film is the primary and secondary school students’ version of "Riding the Wind and Waves".

　　The movie is deliberately "old-fashioned", but the sense of time is all created by the golden songs of the era, iconic events, and soft light filters. The Asian Games, the 1997 Asian financial crisis, the 98 Great Waters, and the death of Leslie Cheung in 2003, all the events that can evoke the feelings of the audience are reluctant to leave behind. The culmination of the film’s plot collection "bosom body", the theatrical elements that can most incite readers’ emotions in "Bosom" magazine, has everything. As for whether the details are true, the screenwriters presumably think that no one cares, and no one cares.

　　Ma Haowen, played by Deng Chao, is "responsible" for the unit. After going to prison, he divorces his wife, and his wife must marry a most vulgar businessman. The film tries to make the actors "happy" and make the characters care for his stepson Ma Fei. It is not only to cater to the audience’s inner "dislike of poverty and love of wealth", but also to reduce the moral unease. Ma Haowen quarreled with the principal for Ma Fei’s education, and unexpectedly won the hearts of his son’s head teacher and young and beautiful female teacher. It is also the "Jacksu" complex that caters to the audience. As for the contractor’s defiance towards Ma Haowen, both faces are exhausted, and it is the bridge part of the favorite performance on the short video software "Today you ignore me, tomorrow I will make you unable to climb high".

　　Using Ma Haowen as a contractor to solve the problem of blasting the factory chimney, he could earn 800 yuan in just two minutes, but in order to buy a computer for his son, he went to the underground black market to sell blood – this kind of tearjerker story of "fatherly love without boundaries" was popular in the street stall literature in the 1990s, and it was surprising that it could be "re-created" in the movie in 2019. Ma Haowen accidentally discovered that the mastermind behind the "blame" incident that year was all by chance. When eating noodles in the small noodle shop, he "overheard" the dispute between the two in the private room – he couldn’t see that this shabby little noodle shop was so hidden, and the "noodles" were not afraid of the alley. In the movie, the son of the dean of the middle school was admitted to Peking University as the champion of the province, but was greatly stimulated to become a madman because he failed an exam. The plot gloated, and still held the prejudice of the news that "Peking University students sold pork" back then.

　　The film’s text is off topic, and there are very few real plots about education, which reflects the main creative team’s ignorance of the laws and science of education and teaching. Exam-oriented education is not undesirable, and quality-oriented education is not blindly indulgent play. Ma Fei in the film, from the bottom of the grade, jumped to the top ten in just a few months, and the film does not even have a scene of going through the motions and writing books or burning the night lights. This educational miracle cannot be achieved solely by encouraging parent-child education. It is entirely the screenwriter who shows "miracles." Huanggang Middle School will be silent when watching it, and Hengshui Middle School will cry when watching it. As for the space adventure story of adult Ma Fei, except for being related to the "Milky Way" in the title of the movie, there is no need in the plot. Water can carry boats, and it can also cook porridge. Love can generate electricity, and it can also go to the sky. The floating plot of "Galaxy Tutoring School" is really only suitable for the sky, how can it be in the world.

　　The issue of education is one of the people’s livelihood issues that the society pays high attention to. However, the threshold for discussion of education issues seems to be extremely low, and anyone can say a few words and express a few opinions. In fact, the professional requirements are quite high. Even the Doctor of Education who has studied hard for many years does not dare to draw conclusions about the education system easily. The original intention of "Galaxy Tutorial School" may be good, but if you only understand the fur of a few pedagogical terms, you will miss your children if you want to boil chicken soup for granted. Audiences can see that the movie is okay as a fictional creation of "bosom" to satisfy "daydreams". If you really use it to educate your children, you will go astray. It should be known that there is no one-off solution in the world, and the effort and reward are generally proportional. Actors temper their acting skills, athletes improve their competitive standards, singers and dancers practice their singing and dancing steps hard, relying on talent, interest and love, and even more on hard work. The same is true in primary and secondary education and even higher education. Of course there are skills in learning methods, but there are no shortcuts to get something for nothing. "There is a path to hard work in the mountains of books, and there is no end to learning in the sea." Although it is old, it is true.
