近日,武汉一所高校的寒门研究生因不满导师长期的精神控制和压迫,而选择用跳楼自杀的方式来解脱。我没有经历过他的人生,所以也无从了解他到底生活得多么的痛苦,以至于在即将毕业的时候选择以这样的方式结束了自己的一生。但是,我想连死都不怕的陶同学,一定遭受到了比死还要可怕的折磨,所以才会那样决绝的离开。愿天堂没有压迫,愿来世陶同学能够完成他的学术梦想。
这个事件让我反复思考寒门子弟的求学就真的是如此艰辛?或许,在中国的大环境下,现实就是如此的残酷。生活中,我们虽然总是经历挫败,但却向着希望而活着。就像电影 Homeless to Harward的主人公Liz。

今天在这里我不会就电影里的各个细节进行讨论,只是以看过这部影片的过来者的身份,试图到外网上去寻求一些共鸣。为什么是外网?因为可以学习英语!我会在这里贴出上面提到的两个网站用户的评语,学习外国人如何用英语表达观感。

精彩评论:
1. One of the few monvies I've seen that truely talks about the problems that many societies around the globe are suffering from. it also goes to show you how far you can go if you are determined on something. so, you can really make a chance if you put your mind into it.
在我看过的电影里,少有的几部会提及到全球社会都在遭受的问题,而这就是其中的一部。这部电影也告诉我们一个道理:一旦你在某件事上下定决心,你可能比你想像得走得更远。所以,如果你已经下定决心,请好好把握机会。
2.Generally, made for television movies are on a level below theatrical endeavors. However, ' Homeless to Harward' is a surprising and welcome exception. Without question it is one of the best made for television movies ever produced. This true story of Liz continually strikes you primal emotional chord thoughtout the movie.
一般而言, 根据故事改编的电影要比戏剧原创的电影低一个层次。 但是《风雨哈佛路》却意外的让人感到惊艳,受到人们的热烈欢迎。毫无疑问,它是迄今为止最棒的改编电影。在整个电影中,故事的原型会引发你最原始的情感共鸣。
3. The film was fun to watch, and Thora Brich was terrific, as always. She is one of the finest young actresses we have today. The movie was at its strongest when it depicted Liz's difficulit years on the streets. But the ending let us down. The movie untimately did not tell us why Liz left Harvard. And actually, it makes you wonder if her story is worth telling if she couldn't finish her education there.
这部电影很有趣。索拉伯奇还是一如既往的表现出色。她是当今娱乐圈最优秀的青年演员。这部电影在描述Liz街头艰苦生活的部分很出色,但是结局却很让人失望。电影最终都没有告诉观众为什么Liz离开了哈佛。倘若她真的没有在哈佛完成她的学业,这不免让人怀疑这个故事是否具有讲述的价值。

精彩评论:
1. Inspiring true story of from poverty and neglect to self made opportunity. The Pursuit of Happyness is a amazing story, but this one surpasses it. Outstanding acting by the young and older version of Liz.
这个鼓舞人心的故事,讲述了主人公从贫穷,被忽视到靠自己的努力获取成功的过程。《当幸福来敲门》是一部令人惊叹的电影,但是《风雨哈佛路》却更胜一筹。无论是小时候还是长大了的Liz都表现出了出色的演技。
2. Again the cliche, the book was much better than the movie.
又是一部老掉牙的电影,原著比电影更好。
3. Hope, determination and strgenth are the 3 main componets that the movie thrives on, the movie projects a positive message. It's worth the watch.
希望,决心和力量是这部电影所追求的三个主要元素。电影传达了正面的信息,值得观看

I think people just get frustrated without harsh, life can can be. So they're spending their time dwelling on that frustration we calling it anger. Keep their eyes shut to the wholeness of the situation.
我觉得有些人只对生活的艰苦灰心丧气,因此把时间都浪费在灰心丧气里,我们称之为愤怒,对事物的整体视而不见,对于所有能够成功的微小元素视而不见。
