      Audience Member beautifully shot about a group of young children in the care centre! a movie about how culture - values,beliefs... is transmitted to the next generation (historically specific) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member O dia-a-dia de uma criança que vai estudar numa escola, mas não consegue seguir as regras. Interessante olhar sobre os pequenos e complexos dramas infantis. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Just watched this on SBS, and I'm pretty sure the target audience for this film is pedophiles... Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Beijing, China, 1949. Qiang é um menino precoce de quatro anos e um gênio indomável. Quando seus pais o matriculam num jardim de infância, a vida para Qiang apresenta-se rica e colorida, repleta de brincadeiras, jogos e rituais com o intuito de moldar seu caráter para a vida em sociedade. Mas não é fácil para Qiang adaptar-se a esse tipo de organização. Individualista, ele se nega a seguir as regras impostas pela escola. Sua punição por isso é não receber as flores vermelhas, que são presenteadas aos alunos bem comportados. Mas essas e outras restrições não dobram o arredio Qiang. Com o tempo, sua rebeldia e carisma começam a fazer sucesso entre os amigos. Ele passa então a promover pequenas rebeliões, como convencer seus colegas de classe que a professora é um monstro devorador de crianças. Mas as punições a Qiang acabam por mergulhá-lo no ostracismo. Será que ele sucumbirá às imposições dos adultos ou continuará a crescer segundo suas próprias regras? Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member The childrens are quite adorable. The story is mix with some hard to understand parts. A young boy is sent to the kindergarden because the granny is returning home, the parents are working far away. He is taken care by the granny since birth. He cry for the first few days. In the school, the kids are taught by 2 teachers and care by 2 assistances. They were taught to dress themself, poop in the morning, wash hands and go toilet before meals, be obedient. Done well and the child will be rewarded with a little red flower, and vice versa. He seems to take a liking for a girl who sleep just beside him. She is avoided by other kid during play time just like him. So they play together and he pretend injection to her butt, took down her underwear and the teacher saw it and scolded them both. The boy will sneak out during sleeping time to pee outside. He stop wetting his bed. During a music class, somebody kept farting and they and the girl is brought to the toilet. The other childrens are playing and they sneak outdoors to play on their own. At another class, the teacher imitates an animal to let them guess. The boy spread rumours that teacher is a child eating monster. While the teacher is asleep, the childrens tie their shoelaces together and want to tie her up but she wake up. One of the girl cries and say the teacher is a monster and she point out another boy as the rumormonger. For unknown reason, the boy start to become a bully and with a few boys keep picking on others. He refuse to apologise for an incident and was put into the confinement room. He is afraid and cried. Then he is to be ignored and isolated from other childrens. After a few days the curfew is lifted. The 1st day he joins back he disobey order again and run away on his own and sleep outdoors at night. I don't understand what is going on as the ending is really weird and mystery. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member 这部电影勾起我无数童年的回忆……一样的排队上厕所、擦屁股、洗手手；一样的搪瓷碗盛饭；一样的比赛穿衣服、叠被子。中国教育的可悲性和程式化在幼儿园就已经体现了出来 - 大家呢，都是其受害者。 片中的“小红花”是一个富有象征意义的东西。在我看来，那是人类自己“创造”出来的勋章。这东西把人分成三五九等，这东西也是人们攀比竞争的筹码 - 这些东西本该只存在于丑陋的成人世界里，却被幼儿园阿姨“引进”到了四五岁的孩子中。那纯真的孩提时代过早地被刷上了血淋淋的红色，正如片中的小红花、红砖墙一样，是残忍竞争后杀戮的印记。 这世界”看上去很美“，但仅仅是”看上去“很美而已 - 因为当你揭开那”红盖头“时，孩子的额头上虽然没有皱纹，脸颊上却已经有泪痕了…… Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
