The film works as a whole as great entertainment and also as an engrossing message to the society. I am not sure what to make of the heavily dramatic climax, does the director want us to love arts? Or is he warning about the burden that comes with loving anything too much? My guess is the later, as he is an artist himself (Cinematic art). The film stays buoyant from the starting to the end, typical of a high school setting and all characters feel natural. The teacher who inspires everyone seems to breathe life into all his fans (students) and increasingly dwells in our hearts as a hero who lets us "live" in this ever-competitive, heartless, unequal world.
Overall, I walked away from the film as a changed man with lifelong repercussions. The movie is labeled as legendary by many others as well and I recommend this wholeheartedly if you like offbeat films about education. The dialogues are lovely and all the interactions between characters are interesting. The film has enough twists and turns to keep us engaged throughout its duration..
