叫我第一名

這部電影根據真實故事改編而成。乍一看，布拉德利·科恩從各方面來說都是個正常的男孩，卻由于不斷擾亂課堂秩序而受到老師的嚴厲批評和同學的冷嘲熱諷，就連父親也對他非常失望，原因是他不停地扭動脖子并發出奇怪的聲音。只有母親一直努力探究其癥狀根源，給予他支持與鼓勵，并最終與醫生一道找到了病根。原來他患有先天性妥瑞氏癥——一種罕見的神經性疾病。正是這種病導致他無法控制自己。有一天在學校的音樂會后，校長在全校師生面前說明了布拉德利的情況，使他得到了眾人的理解。自此布拉德利樹立了其一生的夢想：成為一名關愛學生的教師。然而妥瑞氏癥依然是他人生路上一塊巨大的絆腳石，在一次次被質疑、被刁難后，他是否能夠堅守信念，永不放棄，最終實現夢想呢？

這是一部非常典型卻又不落俗套的小成本勵志片。樸實的故事、歡快的節奏，講述的卻是一段不平凡而艱難的人生。影片展現的正能量，猶如燦爛的陽光，驅走一切悲傷，只留下振奮和感動。

I Did Have a Constant Companion

我有個形影不離的小伙伴

Bradley Cohen： （Monologue） My name is Bradley Cohen. But when I was a kid， people called me by lots of names. My brother Jeff called me “Dr. Bobo.”My mom called me “honey.” And the kids at school？ Well， they called me everything from 1）spaz to freak. I didn’t have many friends actually， but I did have a constant companion. I can barely remember a time it wasn’t there. Now sometimes， it wasn’t a problem for me. Other times， it was. One thing my constant companion and I agreed on was that we hated school. I couldn’t wait till I got out. No more homework， no more books， no more teachers’ dirty looks.

My companion first showed up when I was six， but it was years before it had a name. Now the 2）shrinks said I was just 3）hyper. I made funny noises and acted weird to draw attention to myself. It was just a phase： I’d grow out of it and be “normal，” like everybody else. Through it all， my constant companion stuck with me. Now to my friends， I’m just regular old Brad. The guy who likes baseball， and who loves 4）cheesy 80’s music， which they think is much weirder than the noises I make.

布拉德利·科恩：（獨白）我叫布拉德利·科恩。不過在我小的時候，人們給我取過各種各樣的外號。我弟弟杰夫叫我“波波醫生”，我媽媽叫我“寶貝”。而學校里的同學們呢？嗯，從笨蛋到怪胎，他們叫我什么的都有。那時我沒什么朋友，但有個同伴一直陪著我。印象中它幾乎無時不在我身邊。有些時候，它不會給我帶來麻煩，但有的時候，還是會的。……
