12月22日 Little kids, big societyI finally had my car towed to the car service today. After I came back to my apartment I realized Waterview arranged a kitchen clean up for us since QY moved out and some new member will join us next month. This is exactly what I had been looking forward to, I certainly mean the clean up! These lovely Mexican janitors are awesome, they can make your kitchen totally shining in just 2 hours. I had the urge to go out and give them some tips and say "Feliz Navidad", but they left before I did so. As my car was totally unavailable and we did not want to ruin the shining kitchen, QN asked Amir if he wanted to go to dinner together, and he said yes, so finally we three and Amir's girlfriend Elizabeth sat at a table in Taiwan Cafe enjoying our dinner. The below-zero temperature outside made the conversation over the dinner especially cozy. Elizabeth mentioned a Chinese movie she and Amir saw the other day, called "Please Vote for Me". It' s a documentary about a class monitor vote in some Chinese Primary school and how the kids conducted the vote. And she said she would like to know what we thought of it because she did not know how to react to it. I remembered I saw some brief introduction of it long time ago, so I just said, out of my experience, maybe the director wanted to criticize some phenomenon in the adult society by what happened in this kids' community. When we got back, I decided to search it online to see if I could find more detailed introduction of it. It turned out there was an online video. So I simply watched the whole movie. It was very fun and it also proved my initial answer was not correct. Now I think the director maybe wants to probe, at least tentatively, the definition of democracy. I will not give an ornate description of the story, but the sophisticates of the kids shocked me. It is a very thought-revoking story, but only because I am not politics and sociology sensitive, I do not know how to react to it either. I do not remember the last Chinese movie I saw, maybe "Painted Skin", which was also weeks ago. However, "Please Vote for Me" is the kind of movie I do not want to miss. 评论 (4)
