How we chose our topic The topic of classism has always fascinated our group; coming from different backgrounds, different schools, and different socio-economic levels, we were curious as to whether the perception of other, foreign nations on the issue of social inequality and wealth mattered as little as it did in Singapore. How we conducted our research To do that, we decided on the use of movies and documentaries, and agreed to make our own documentary at the end. For research, we would watch three movies in particular: Us (2019), Joker (2019), and Parasite (2019). These three movies were decided…

去码头整点薯条
“所以,我们要到何方?”奇姆问 “去码头整点薯条”海鸥说到 “你误解我了,我的意思是,人生的终极目标是什么” “你觉得呢?” “我… ” “我觉得一定不是到北极看极光”奇姆回答道。 “我的梦想是到北极看极光”奇姆朗诵出他的作文,教室内充满了欢声笑语。 老师无奈地责备,“奇姆,梦想是你以后想做的职业,就比如托马斯,他以后就想成为一名医生” “我不知道,只要能让我去北极看极光就行”。教室再次爆发出一阵欢笑。 老师摇摇头:“抱歉奇姆,这篇作文不合格” “我回来了” “行,快去做作业”奇姆的妈妈在灶台前忙碌着 奇姆坐下:“好,啊对了,妈妈,今天上课老师布置了一道作文题,题目是你的梦想是什么” “哦,那你的梦想是什么?宇航员?还是律师?” “我的梦想是去北极” “北极?北极有什么好去的?去看北极熊呲牙?”妈妈笑道 奇姆微微低下头:“不… 我想去看极光” “在电脑上不就能看了?再说了,奇姆”妈妈转过身来,“你知道去一趟北极要多少钱吗?你长大还要结婚,买房子,不要做一个无意义的梦想,把这个梦想埋葬起来。” 锅铲又开始铿铿作响,奇姆低下头,所有的情感凝聚成一个字: “好” 然而,一个人是无法抗拒内心的渴望的。 是啊,极光的照片,视频在网络上遍地都是。为什么他想亲身看一眼呢? 不知道,我不知道,奇姆也不知道。 但欲望带来的动机是不能被忽视的,我不能,奇姆也不能,他可以对任何人撒谎,除了他自己。 “奇姆,在下班之前把方案整理好给我”,一摞报告砸在奇姆的桌子上,扬起一阵灰尘。 ”好。“奇姆带着筋疲力尽的身体回答道。 ”把这个梦想埋葬起来“母亲的话浮现出来。奇姆做到了,他埋葬了这个梦想。对于别人来说,他的梦想成为了做一个成功的企业家。 “奇姆,你要做到真正热爱自己的工作,才能做好,升职。”主管的声音传来。 他可以对任何人撒谎,除了他自己。 去北极看极光的梦看似已死,却无时无刻不在他的心里躁动。奇姆多打的每一份工,付出的每时每刻,都是为了攒够去北极的钱。明天结束后,他会拿到薪水,就攒够去北极的旅费了。 日复一日,年复一年,他透支着自己的身体。 但他做到了,带着对有史以来第一次对明天的期待,他眼睛渐渐合上。 “明天,就可以了”,奇姆的眼皮越来越重,在办公桌上沉睡下去。 睁眼时,他发现自己身处一个陌生的地方 “奇姆你醒了。”医生说得。 “医院?”奇姆想到。 “你的同事把你送了过来,你猝死在办公室了。我有个坏消息,奇姆。”医生拿出一份 X 光片,“你得了严重的肝硬化,但情况还相对乐观,只要你愿意赶紧开始治疗,否则… ” “多少钱?”奇姆小心翼翼地问道。 医生抛出一个数字,奇姆顿时放声大哭。 治疗费用正好是去北极的旅费。 “那你看了极光了吗”海鸥问道,它在北极海边遇到了往深海前行的奇姆。 “看到了,我承认,在看到的一瞬间我获得了巨大的满足感,身体每个感官都为之颤抖。”奇姆叹一口气,“但在此之后,我只感到无尽的空虚。我带着破碎的身体实现了我的梦想,之后又有什么意义呢?我们的所有追求最后都会成为虚无,为什么我们还要追求它呢?让我走吧” “别骗自己了”海鸥说到, “在你的心底,你并不是来这看极光,而是逃避过去,现在与未来。” “你并不是因为人生没有意义而放弃,你在害怕,害怕如果面对失去了梦想支撑的人生。” “看极光看似有意义,所以你把希望寄托在它身上,但那只是镜花水月罢了。当你意识到这一点时,你已经对生活投降了。 “既然一切都毫无意义,我们为什么还活着呢?” “不过奇姆,正是因为世界的过去,现在与未来都毫无意义,我们才得以从幻梦中解脱,面对这个虚无的世界。” “抛下意义吧,它根本不重要。” ”回到一切的根源吧奇姆,为了做某件事而做。”…
