I am a mountain first captures the proposition that women can use knowledge to redeem themselves and change their destiny. Children living in the mountainous areas of Yunnan, especially girls, cannot change their lives at first sight even if they solve poverty because of their lack of education and closed mind. Zhang Guimei saw this very early, so she stubbornly established a girls' high school with no threshold. What she wants to do is not only teach, but also save people.
She said that an educated woman can change the fate of three generations: herself, her mother and her children. The story of the Shanyue Shanying family in the film is a typical example: Shanyue Shan Ying's mother gave birth to three children, but died of cancer early. Their grandmother has never walked out of the mountains in her life, and she is ignorant and unable to communicate with the outside world. Every day she can only sit in front of her house in a daze. Shan Yue and Shan Ying, one wants to study but can't, and the other can't learn from childhood.
However, the wheel of fate did not care for my sister who was eager to learn. After being forced into marriage, she was quickly killed by a domestic violence man. With the continuous efforts of Zhang Guimei, my sister picked up the book again. With the encouragement of all the girls in the school, she fought against the traditional family and fate and finally got into the university. On the door beam of Shan Ying's house, there are several big characters left by Shan Yue, "I am a mountain", which is the theme of the whole movie.
Consciousness of equal rights in movies.
The so-called equal rights generally refer to the political, economic and social equality between men and women. In order to depict women's misfortune, women's movies often regard men as opposites. But in this movie "I am a Mountain", men are not deliberately regarded as "enemies". It treats everyone equally. More importantly, it emphasizes that with the progress of society, many people are actively advocating and helping people in need to receive education.
The first is Zhang Guimei's husband, who appeared in the form of several flashbacks. In President Zhang's mind, this is a warm and considerate image of a good husband who understands and supports her. He was also the principal. It is precisely because of the same ambition that Zhang Guimei strengthened his ideals and beliefs. The other is the director of the county education bureau. Although he is a little sophisticated and timid, he continues to help Zhang Guimei manage the school in a noisy and struggling way, which is both vivid and true.
There are also teachers who stayed behind to support President Zhang Guimei in the most difficult time of school. There are men and women, and everyone has their own stories. All of the above is to show that on this important issue of education, everyone has the same idea, and there is no distinction between men and women, and there is no distinction between high and low. The villains in the film, in addition to the faceless domestic violence man, the female teacher who ran away from the battle, and a mother who drank all day. Previously, there were many criticisms on the Internet that there were far more fathers drinking than mothers in mountainous areas of Yunnan.
