Word. I travelled abroad for postgraduate studies and became ill since my body was not acclimated to the weather there. I was hospitalised 3 times in a month and required extensive care. My father called me, crying, and implored me not to return home, even though I was dying, since it would bring shame to the family. He didn't cry because I got sick. I'll never forget.

I recently gave an exam which i had been studying hard for since 2 years, one that may decide my future, and i didnt do well enough to get into the "best" category, all because i messed up under exam pressure.

Did the good guys drink stupid juice at the end? The daughter knowing that her mother was trying to kill her, returns. And the resistance catches her, brings her to their base (so now she knows where they are) and let's her go? What. Really.
Ikr this ending ... How stupid could you be . I understand the daughter wants her mother love ... But this woman seeing a other woman killed her own children.. you think she would care about someone's else's own...
I dont think its Not possible. Its like when you have a girlfriend. You’re too in love with her. Evendough she’s toxic, some people are just blind and can’t acknowledge the truth.
I remember seeing a different recap of this movie (or it’s rather an episode from a series called On Children, but we can still count it as a movie). The movie is really well created, but the system is extremely messed up. I myself have ADHD, and the fact that the state wants to get rid of students with deficiencies personally triggers me a lot. I feel really bad for Nova, because her mother is nothing but a complete fraud and monster who only cares about her image. However, I took a lot of comfort from the survivor camp, showing that children are allowed to be creative. And that grades don’t define your worth, which is why I also come to theorize that the state is treating students like robots to only get A+ in everything, not allowing them to have personal lives. If I was a mother in this situation, I’d rather live in poverty with my child than give him up over privileges. Because I also believe grades don’t define worth as long as someone works hard and achieves his dream, and is raised in a loving home. This is something Chuan failed to do miserably and she is the worst role model. So needless to say, it is a horrible story, but very well portrayed, and extremely well recapped.
The movie is interesting in the way that it punishes the kids who don't get good grades but they are still creative. It sucks that the mother won. Hopefully everything will be alright in ur life!!
I'd never call it a privilege to live like that. They are basically trapped there, working as machines, studying like parrots, where every second you've to think about your grades..uhh..that's suffocating for me. But I do get it this is how they're raised....

This movie is an excellent commentary on how children are viewed today by nasty governments and selfish individuals... Children are seen as liabilities and God forbid if a child is diagnosed with any disorder... Immediately the situation is perceived as being bothersome and therefore getting rid of the child in the womb or sometimes outside the womb becomes a solution (an evil one at that)... As a teacher, i have observed parents getting into herd mentality - they want expensive schools for their children and they are willing to bend backwards to keep up the show in society... Children are pressurized into scoring over 95%... Kids are seen as projects rather than as blessings...
Man the story is so sad because a lot of people can’t get 100 percent so a lot of people would die so like over 50 percent of earth if that was real would be dead
I mean It’s nice to see the villain win but this is not the kind of ending that I would wish upon I mean she reported the camp why couldn’t she just be happy for them it isn’t her child anyways
This actually made my cry cause i can relate to this. I just finished my periodical test or exam and when i got 83 on my math my mom immidietely started hurting me physically, emotionally, and mentally.
This is literally what it feels like to stress about maintaining high grades. My parents are very understanding and know that I won't be perfect at everything, but my ADHD and anxiety cause me to stress about grades. Luckily I'm getting better at not worrying too much about it.
I got diagnosed with ADHD when I was 5 honestly it didn't effect my schooling that much teachers actually made it easier for me I had trouble sitting still so they allowed me to stand at my desk and I always had something in my hand to mess with and fidget with but I hyper focused on learning I've always been a nerd I made straight A's throughout School my favorite subject was science to this day I'm still a big science nerd have a little 5-year-old son who has autism and he's the same way he is in love with space his favorite thing right now is hyper Giants he just thinks it's so amazing that their stars out there so big
Before I was diagnosed, school was a living hell. Once I found out I had ADHD, it all made more sense and it became way easier. Now I'm a straight A student and a book nerd! Sometimes knowing you have ADHD makes it better, because you understand yourself. Also, so sweet to hear that your son shares your love of science!
Btw: this series is called "on children" and all the episodes are connected. Spoilers , but at the last episode (which is the one you're watching rn) you see them all escape to a camp and see appearances of each character from the episodes before appear
*This whole movie is like a vent by the producers, the societal pressure is killing them and pushing them over the limit, not to mention mental health being taboo there. Its awful.*
As someone who has ADHD aswell,this is relatable and painful,because my parents are trying to "fix" me,they always try to make it disappear because they think it's curable,when it's not. It's very painful for me to follow their rules,even tho when I know that it isn't like that. I'll edit more when I remember more about it
It’s sad that stuff like this actually happens, obviously not this scale, but parents seeing there kids just based on their grades, like they only like their kid cause they have good grades, like it’s the only thing that matters in the world, and not the child’s happiness
5:25, humiliated? really? That is funny but then I remember the words "Only those who have everything are afraid of losing. If you are poor and don't have anything, you are not afraid of losing because nothing to lose."
My brother was a valedictorian, my sister graduated cum laude, and I am the little brother who doesn't want school, and hardly get good grades. But I really love robotics and computer science.
You love computer science right, Me too. Try to get atleast somewhat above avg grades dude. Because getting into a good college is really worth it and you will be able to use your love for CS and learn a lot in a good environment. Of course, good college doesn't mean guaranteed success but the type of people you are surrounded is worth it in the long run. But also, in CS you can actually learn a lot by your own and online(i too learn it online), so some people don't even go for college and become successful with their skills. So, i would say increase your love for CS!! If you really wanna have a career in it.
@@daphenomenalz4100 Even though I'm lazy and doesn't put much effort in school, My general avg. Is 96(with highest honor). Can't believe it... Thanks to math, science and ap. Physics.
im 15, an asian kid who just recently finished 3 entrance exams. Kids get little to no care for their mental health here. ADHD is an excuse for you to be lazy and depression is just a completely normal teenage phase to parents, everyone is compared, everyone is pushed to be like their friends. "Why is your friend better than you? youre their friend.", they tell each of us the same phrases for years. Your grades DEFINE your worth; i happened to be someone with undiagosed ADHD and depression, anxiety disorder and selective mustism, i struggled a lot with studying because my ADHD kept me away from focusing and depression kept bringing me suicidal thoughts. My parents do not give 2 much shit about my mental health. I am poorly raised. They never taught me anything more than their names and how much they work. I do not have any mental support This movie hits like home to me. I wish the world would change and not just leave it as an asian stereotype thing. I really would burn the world because theres almost nothing given to me other than stress and words of judgement, I have nothing to lose.
I know this is a late reply, but I just wanted to see how you were doing? I hope for the best for you in the future, I hope you achieve things you hope for. I just hope you're doing better in general. I may just be some random weirdo replying to you, and I may not be the best with words, but I believe in you. Okay? I believe in you, you got this. Give yourself some time to take breathes when you need it. Close yours eyes and just breathe, okay? Think about things that make you happy when you do take breathes. Talk to your friends. Just don't push yourself. I believe in you. ❤️❤️ I have ADHD too, and it really affected my school life. I can't stay focused for more than maybe 5 to 10 minutes? I have to re read sentences more than three times because my mind automatically wonders off, leaving me just reading the words out, and not reading the actual sentence, and it's just a nightmare. I would cry on the way to school every day, get physically sick, and throw up almost everyday, and I never ate breakfast because of feeling sick, I threw more fits from being hangry, I hated the school lunch, so I never ate lunch either, THAT didn't help. So ADHD really didn't help at all. I ended my last year of public school with all F's. So now I'm homeschooled, been homeschooled all of 10th grade so far. Doing better, good grades, am able to pace myself and take breaks when my ADHD is acting up. So yeah. Again. I believe in you. Take note that I keep saying that, because it's true. You definitely have potential. And ADHD doesn't define who you can and can't be. Breathe when you have to, breathe when you need to. And believe you can do it. Because you can, okay? ❤️
>Your grades DEFINE your worth Your grades never define your worth at the end of the day, it's only worth that much is because we have conditioned society to push this death-cult like worship of straight As at the expense of childrens' dignity. This is why I and millions more have lost faith in school. It's far detached from its original purpose.
So basically im dead after a month.. (If they include class test, surprise test etc..) I read for the aesthetics of the book.. But when it comes to real studying... Oh boy 🤣🤣🤣
Bro the ending???? What????? It's not a happily ever ending like every other movie???? Surprise, surprise, this is literally one of the most realistic implications ever
“Like every other movie” a terrible ending that ends miserably is already the usual for daily life. A happily ever after is actually rare in this world, so seeing it “commonly appear” in movies is the goal because it’s weird you find satisfaction in watching horrible outcomes be the last say in any form.
The message of the movie was good. A very high demanding society like that who scolds who are not the very best and have no compassion, will create monsters capable to do anything to achieve their goals. The villain literally says that in the end. This is probably a Korean movie, where society is VERY HIGH demanding, just like in Japan, and this might be a critique to their society.
This is pretty much how people imagine algorithms get trained. You smash them together randomly and give them test that you know the answer key to and only keep the best to make copies of with variations and start over as log as you need to get what you want. Not quite accurate, but it that is maybe a bit easier to understand the success and the reason we have no idea how they work after you got the finished product.
I guess I'll be pulling up to general chemistry in my funeral clothes then. Jokes on the prof...I've been dead inside this whole time lol. Seriously though! Thank you for the recap. You do great work!
What kind of movie let the villain win like that ? She destroyed not only the survivors camp but successfully killed her daughter and got away with it-
the logic behind this movie is faulty. in a society that highly regards education and good grades, there is no way they would award the 'mother' for their offsprings success. Firstly, it is the children's hard work, not the mother's. second, the embryo did not even biologically link to the mothers, so there is not even a contribution DNA wise.
wait.... What are you trying to say? First, it's a fictional story obviously the message was the important part, secondly it's more of an allegory for shitty overbearing parents and the function of our systems of weeding out and condemning "undesirables".
The logic isn’t flawed at all. Parents are often the ones who receive compliments if their child is successful. Since parents ultimately are the ones who influence their child the most and are the ones that keeps an eye on the child, thus forcing them to behave in certain ways and study etc. It quite literally reflects Asian parents lmao
its not faulty its actually how asian culture is. im not asian but i have friends who dealt with this. im African and its the same for me. when you're child is successful you're pretty much treated like a star coach. at the same time the child feels like a trophy
Its sort of similar to Squid Game. The movie Concept. Where the players have to keep on successfully completing the stages in order to survive and get on to next level to reach the end and claim the prize. Here the students have to keep on working hard and study in order to maintain their grades in each semester until they graduate. If not then death awaits them.
@@masdogplayz892 In Squid Game if you mess up the challenge like failing to complete the task on time and not doing correctly then you will be immediately executed. If you pass the challenge you move on to the next challenge one step closer to the final challenge. In this movie The students have to keep on studying. Work hard to maintain their grades in each semester untill they graduate. The students who doesn't secure the marks which they need to secure then their parents will lose the privileges which they receive due to their child studying and performing well. The students will immediately be taken to the room where they will be executed. Isn't it similar? Obviously the movie Concept is very similar. Not 💯 % same but similarities you might say.
@@itsdylan6129 When did I say it's a Squid Game. Read what I said. I literally mentioned...... " Movie Concept" and I didn't say the word "Same". I said "Similar". I just said this movie Concept is similar to Squid Game. That's all.
its good that this aint the reality ...m just an average student but still my parents r very supportive and r not ashamed of me at all and their trust pushes me to be better every year
Ties to our future or a similar one, we do not know but we are guilty sometimes not listening to humility being excessively proud, and taking everything for granted.
Nova probably doesn't have ADHD. If she did, she probably would have been diagnosed and killed a long time ago. She only got diagnosed because she misbehaved (was rude and fidgeted), because Chuan told her to. The state probably kills people with ADHD because it assumes they're useless, as they tend to get lower grades. The correlation between "ADHD" and low grades is probably stronger in the society in ADHD is Necessary than in real life, since mothers like Chuan trick their unsuccessful children into pretending to have ADHD to get rid of them.
In college I proved a computer science professor's quiz incorrect and he told the whole class the next lecture. I also took the asvab for the military and got all the math questions except proved that one question had no correct answers available. I tried to tell the tester but he didn't really know what to do, just said to select one.
11:22 After the surgery the antagonist conveniently finds herself in the tunnel leading to the survivor camp. Bruh, what kind of lazy writing is this? And why was she allowed to leave by the good guys? This was just an excuse to finish off the movie with a bad ending.
I get the point of these films is to critique the comically cut-throat bent of modern society and the ridiculous pressures put on kids to succeed academically, but knowing countries like China are probably going to experience catastrophic problems from the sheer LACK of people they'll be facing in future (the same for all other developed countries) it's hard to suspend my disbelief
Every child deserves a mother, but not every mother deserves a child.

The fact that Nova genuinely had to ask the mom if she loved her is sick as shit and in a bad way.
This movie is an excellent commentary on how children are viewed today by nasty governments and selfish individuals... Children are seen as liabilities and God forbid if a child is diagnosed with any disorder... Immediately the situation is perceived as being bothersome and therefore getting rid of the child in the womb or sometimes outside the womb becomes a solution (an evil one at that)... As a teacher, i have observed parents getting into herd mentality - they want expensive schools for their children and they are willing to bend backwards to keep up the show in society... Children are pressurized into scoring over 95%... Kids are seen as projects rather than as blessings...
sounds like a horrible world to live in

Cause she i’ll get credits for reporting it
She'll be raking in the sweet sweet good life for crushing rebels and considered an amazing role model of a citizen.

@@SonySlasher2468 Me too.
This actually made my cry cause i can relate to this. I just finished my periodical test or exam and when i got 83 on my math my mom immidietely started hurting me physically, emotionally, and mentally.
This is literally what it feels like to stress about maintaining high grades. My parents are very understanding and know that I won't be perfect at everything, but my ADHD and anxiety cause me to stress about grades. Luckily I'm getting better at not worrying too much about it.
Its rare to see the villain win in movies.
But that's what always happen in real life 60%

I got diagnosed with ADHD when I was 5 honestly it didn't effect my schooling that much teachers actually made it easier for me I had trouble sitting still so they allowed me to stand at my desk and I always had something in my hand to mess with and fidget with but I hyper focused on learning I've always been a nerd I made straight A's throughout School my favorite subject was science to this day I'm still a big science nerd have a little 5-year-old son who has autism and he's the same way he is in love with space his favorite thing right now is hyper Giants he just thinks it's so amazing that their stars out there so big
Before I was diagnosed, school was a living hell. Once I found out I had ADHD, it all made more sense and it became way easier. Now I'm a straight A student and a book nerd! Sometimes knowing you have ADHD makes it better, because you understand yourself. Also, so sweet to hear that your son shares your love of science!
The sad thing is that some kids and teenagers today feel pressured into being perfect. 😢
Btw: this series is called "on children" and all the episodes are connected. Spoilers , but at the last episode (which is the one you're watching rn) you see them all escape to a camp and see appearances of each character from the episodes before appear
*This whole movie is like a vent by the producers, the societal pressure is killing them and pushing them over the limit, not to mention mental health being taboo there. Its awful.*
As someone who has ADHD aswell,this is relatable and painful,because my parents are trying to "fix" me,they always try to make it disappear because they think it's curable,when it's not. It's very painful for me to follow their rules,even tho when I know that it isn't like that. I'll edit more when I remember more about it
I feel so grateful that my parents always said don't care much about your grades, only do what you can do.
Why did that lady take her to the survivors camp
That doesn't make any sense
Super messed up but this looks like a really good movie.
The code name of the movie is the " Asian Dream "
It’s sad that stuff like this actually happens, obviously not this scale, but parents seeing there kids just based on their grades, like they only like their kid cause they have good grades, like it’s the only thing that matters in the world, and not the child’s happiness
this recap genuinely scared the shit out of me
5:25, humiliated? really?
That is funny but then I remember the words "Only those who have everything are afraid of losing. If you are poor and don't have anything, you are not afraid of losing because nothing to lose."
My brother was a valedictorian, my sister graduated cum laude, and I am the little brother who doesn't want school, and hardly get good grades. But I really love robotics and computer science.
You love computer science right, Me too. Try to get atleast somewhat above avg grades dude. Because getting into a good college is really worth it and you will be able to use your love for CS and learn a lot in a good environment. Of course, good college doesn't mean guaranteed success but the type of people you are surrounded is worth it in the long run.
But also, in CS you can actually learn a lot by your own and online(i too learn it online), so some people don't even go for college and become successful with their skills. So, i would say increase your love for CS!! If you really wanna have a career in it.

The most important thing is to have something you're passionate about
im 15, an asian kid who just recently finished 3 entrance exams. Kids get little to no care for their mental health here. ADHD is an excuse for you to be lazy and depression is just a completely normal teenage phase to parents, everyone is compared, everyone is pushed to be like their friends. "Why is your friend better than you? youre their friend.", they tell each of us the same phrases for years.
Your grades DEFINE your worth;
i happened to be someone with undiagosed ADHD and depression, anxiety disorder and selective mustism, i struggled a lot with studying because my ADHD kept me away from focusing and depression kept bringing me suicidal thoughts. My parents do not give 2 much shit about my mental health. I am poorly raised. They never taught me anything more than their names and how much they work. I do not have any mental support
This movie hits like home to me. I wish the world would change and not just leave it as an asian stereotype thing. I really would burn the world because theres almost nothing given to me other than stress and words of judgement, I have nothing to lose.
I know this is a late reply, but I just wanted to see how you were doing?
I hope for the best for you in the future, I hope you achieve things you hope for. I just hope you're doing better in general. I may just be some random weirdo replying to you, and I may not be the best with words, but I believe in you. Okay? I believe in you, you got this. Give yourself some time to take breathes when you need it. Close yours eyes and just breathe, okay? Think about things that make you happy when you do take breathes. Talk to your friends. Just don't push yourself. I believe in you. ❤️❤️
I have ADHD too, and it really affected my school life. I can't stay focused for more than maybe 5 to 10 minutes? I have to re read sentences more than three times because my mind automatically wonders off, leaving me just reading the words out, and not reading the actual sentence, and it's just a nightmare. I would cry on the way to school every day, get physically sick, and throw up almost everyday, and I never ate breakfast because of feeling sick, I threw more fits from being hangry, I hated the school lunch, so I never ate lunch either, THAT didn't help. So ADHD really didn't help at all. I ended my last year of public school with all F's. So now I'm homeschooled, been homeschooled all of 10th grade so far. Doing better, good grades, am able to pace myself and take breaks when my ADHD is acting up. So yeah.
Again. I believe in you. Take note that I keep saying that, because it's true. You definitely have potential. And ADHD doesn't define who you can and can't be. Breathe when you have to, breathe when you need to. And believe you can do it. Because you can, okay? ❤️
my brother also has problems with ADHD and he takes a drug named ritalin that helps him
>Your grades DEFINE your worth
Your grades never define your worth at the end of the day, it's only worth that much is because we have conditioned society to push this death-cult like worship of straight As at the expense of childrens' dignity.
This is why I and millions more have lost faith in school. It's far detached from its original purpose.
ADHD and depression can’t be self diagnosed
Same bro
Thats really scary. Since my parents never really forced me to get good grades im really grateful and thankful
this says a lot about our society
So basically im dead after a month.. (If they include class test, surprise test etc..) I read for the aesthetics of the book.. But when it comes to real studying... Oh boy 🤣🤣🤣
same my family would have to live in the slums for the rest of their lives they depended on me
I always love that the antagonist wins
But seeing this i want the protagonist win
Ok this is the only comment i agree
This movie is literally my nightmare. I wish a society like this will never exist.
Bro the ending???? What????? It's not a happily ever ending like every other movie???? Surprise, surprise, this is literally one of the most realistic implications ever
I love it
“Like every other movie” a terrible ending that ends miserably is already the usual for daily life. A happily ever after is actually rare in this world, so seeing it “commonly appear” in movies is the goal because it’s weird you find satisfaction in watching horrible outcomes be the last say in any form.
@@Sonsonmushi Completely agree.
The message of the movie was good. A very high demanding society like that who scolds who are not the very best and have no compassion, will create monsters capable to do anything to achieve their goals.
The villain literally says that in the end.
This is probably a Korean movie, where society is VERY HIGH demanding, just like in Japan, and this might be a critique to their society.
The letters were chinese characters it’s not korean or Japanese
Taiwan
the characters are most likely chinese
3rd times the charm
Omg Elon musk please I want a Tesla please please
This is pretty much how people imagine algorithms get trained. You smash them together randomly and give them test that you know the answer key to and only keep the best to make copies of with variations and start over as log as you need to get what you want. Not quite accurate, but it that is maybe a bit easier to understand the success and the reason we have no idea how they work after you got the finished product.
Wonder if the teachers hate themselves for giving less than perfect grades
The teachers themselves probably don't do the grading.
I guess I'll be pulling up to general chemistry in my funeral clothes then. Jokes on the prof...I've been dead inside this whole time lol.
Seriously though! Thank you for the recap. You do great work!

@@trashboatgaming958 True, this is the first time I see a protagonist without plot armor

We have turned from surviving off strength to surviving off intelligence.

It's all the same.
Nonsense.
It was, is, and will always be the survival of the FITTEST.
the logic behind this movie is faulty. in a society that highly regards education and good grades, there is no way they would award the 'mother' for their offsprings success. Firstly, it is the children's hard work, not the mother's. second, the embryo did not even biologically link to the mothers, so there is not even a contribution DNA wise.
Yea it’s true but I really liked the concept
wait.... What are you trying to say?
First, it's a fictional story obviously the message was the important part, secondly it's more of an allegory for shitty overbearing parents and the function of our systems of weeding out and condemning "undesirables".
The logic isn’t flawed at all. Parents are often the ones who receive compliments if their child is successful. Since parents ultimately are the ones who influence their child the most and are the ones that keeps an eye on the child, thus forcing them to behave in certain ways and study etc. It quite literally reflects Asian parents lmao
its not faulty its actually how asian culture is. im not asian but i have friends who dealt with this. im African and its the same for me. when you're child is successful you're pretty much treated like a star coach. at the same time the child feels like a trophy

Its sort of similar to Squid Game.
The movie Concept.
Where the players have to keep on successfully completing the stages in order to survive and get on to next level to reach the end and claim the prize.
Here the students have to keep on working hard and study in order to maintain their grades in each semester until they graduate. If not then death awaits them.
Ur wrong, this relates to the thinning, if you get below 70% you are executed
@@masdogplayz892 In Squid Game if you mess up the challenge like failing to complete the task on time and not doing correctly then you will be immediately executed. If you pass the challenge you move on to the next challenge one step closer to the final challenge.
In this movie The students have to keep on studying. Work hard to maintain their grades in each semester untill they graduate. The students who doesn't secure the marks which they need to secure then their parents will lose the privileges which they receive due to their child studying and performing well. The students will immediately be taken to the room where they will be executed.

As a person with ADHD, this isn’t completely accurate. People with ADHD can still get amazing grades. We just learn differently.
Nova probably doesn't have ADHD. If she did, she probably would have been diagnosed and killed a long time ago. She only got diagnosed because she misbehaved (was rude and fidgeted), because Chuan told her to. The state probably kills people with ADHD because it assumes they're useless, as they tend to get lower grades. The correlation between "ADHD" and low grades is probably stronger in the society in ADHD is Necessary than in real life, since mothers like Chuan trick their unsuccessful children into pretending to have ADHD to get rid of them.
In college I proved a computer science professor's quiz incorrect and he told the whole class the next lecture. I also took the asvab for the military and got all the math questions except proved that one question had no correct answers available. I tried to tell the tester but he didn't really know what to do, just said to select one.
Yeah most of the time testers can’t do much once the exam begins
It's not really the tester's fault though, I'm pretty sure they don't make the tests lol

11:22 After the surgery the antagonist conveniently finds herself in the tunnel leading to the survivor camp. Bruh, what kind of lazy writing is this? And why was she allowed to leave by the good guys? This was just an excuse to finish off the movie with a bad ending.

For some reason, I like how the antagonist wins instead of the usual protagonist winning streak
I don't like it cuz there is more movies that Antagonist villain wins

I get the point of these films is to critique the comically cut-throat bent of modern society and the ridiculous pressures put on kids to succeed academically, but knowing countries like China are probably going to experience catastrophic problems from the sheer LACK of people they'll be facing in future (the same for all other developed countries) it's hard to suspend my disbelief
That is straight up evil.
