It is the image of death. --by Rousseau\n(As explained by my friend who gave me the name of the film, \"Rousseau is the philosopher whose writings influenced the French Revolution - since this is a revolution of sorts, I thoughtthat might be kinda nice, if a bit obscure\")\n\nSpoiler for the film\n\nThe framing story is about an angry girl hating the school system, a system that stresses certain aspects of life (the words on the chalkboard) if one wants to succeed in it. The plastic wrapping scenes are her different stages ofpsychological struggle (different expressions), the plastic being the oppressions and suffocation she feels. And in the final exiting scenes, the girl breaks free, but some other people will suffer under various kinds of systems. However, there will always be those who come out unharmed, excel and stay on top. As for the teacher, he is the unknowing executioner of the system that other feels oppressive.
