Yet its still very popular with the young people today. Now, what, in your view, contributes to its lasting charm?C: Adolescent passion and ambition. Thats the most cherished life experience. But not every young guy is lucky enough to (1)have his inner self awakened by someone mature, and insightful and willing to help. The movie presents John Keating not only as a teacher but as a mentor or a guide who inspired confidence and enthusiasm, love and respect. No wonder he becomes (2)a role model for young audiencesD: Yes. You just mentioned Keating, the leading role. In most movie reviews, he is hailed as a hero for challenging the rigid and utilitarian authority and advocating free thinking. Then, Professor Wang, could you be more specific about your impressions of this figure?W: A hero? No. A modern Don Quixote, yes. He appears (3) encouraging and inspiring but is in fact very (4) misleading and dangerousD: Misleading and dangerous? In what way? W: A responsible teacher never (5)does an experiment at the cost of his students. Despite his claim to pursue independent and integral personality, he was imposing his own ideas on the students. The students were turned against the school authority and pushed to accept Keatings authority. They (6) lost themselves in the dreamland made up by Keating. Worse still, they were dragged into a hopeless war against traditions and conformity and suffered a heavy lossin vain. C: I venture to disagree. Keating was preaching and practicing what he really believed in. He was not experimenting on his students. Nor did he attempt to establish his authority. Instead, he just put forward his views and invited the students to open their minds and (7) explore the meanings of life on their own. He gave the students a chance to speak for themselves. By doing so, he could find out what was hidden in them, tailor his teaching strategies to their needs and bring out the best of them. W: Are you serious in calling the stuff strategies? I mean, ripping up books, standing on desks, marching up and down the school courtyard, and goading Todd Anderson, a timid boy, into making a barbaric yawp? Dont you think they are (8) too childish for a group of high-school students?D: It seems that Keatings methodology arouses much concern and controversy as well. His point is to prompt the students to (9)view the world from a different perspective. But the argument is that there could have been a more decent and less drastic way of illustrating the concept.3.The Joy Luck Club Cross-Cultural PerspectivesMovie Storyl The Joy Luck Club consists of four interwoven stories about generational and cultural clashes and communications between Chinese immigrant mothers and their American-born daughters.l Story
