He is an ordinary man, with no great achievements in his career, unmarried, plain-looking, even a little fat and bald. But he is also the father of sixty children who have changed the world. He is Clement Matthew, and the movie I recommend today is called Spring in Cowboy Class.
The story took place in the suburbs of France from 65438 to 0949. Clement Matthew was sent to a boys' boarding school nicknamed "Bottom of the Pond" as a substitute teacher. This is a hellish school: the students have bad conduct, the management system is strict, and the principal is selfish and paranoid ... but even in this school, Matthew still treats the naughty children here like normal children, even like his own. Unite students and even teachers in the form of a choir. At the same time, I also found a juvenile problem-Pierre? Mohanchi ...
The story is simple, but it is very attractive.
The biggest attraction of the film is the process that Matthew guides Mo Han Qi to get on the right track step by step.
First, let's take a brief look at the story.
When Matthew formed the choir, Mo Han Qi was in confinement and missed the teacher's grouping, but after listening to his classmates' chorus, he began to practice secretly by himself until Matthew found out.
Rudeness is not in your nature. ""You are always doing things against your nature, fighting and hooliganism. I can't laugh when others think it's fun, and I won't leave you. " This is what Mr Matthew often says to Mo Han Qi. He saw Mo Han Qi's true heart, which is sensitive and eager to be loved and affirmed under the mask of rebellion and even tyranny and provocation, and his extraordinary musical talent. He felt that Mohanqi should not be buried in this small boarding school. He decided to change Mohanqi.
At first, everything was so smooth. Mohanqi's talent intoxicated Matthew and filled him with creative inspiration. But nothing will always be smooth sailing. Because of family reasons, Mo became a sensitive child and never showed his true feelings. He loves his mother and hopes to return to her, hoping to have her love as before. So when he saw Matthew getting close to his mother, his inner feelings of betrayal and loss were understandable. His inner anger made him throw an ink bottle at Matthew.
But Matthew chose to forgive. He decided to give Mo more: how to be a man, how to be grateful, and how to integrate into society, not just to teach him music. This tolerance and fatherly love for Mohanqi is based on Matthew's own wishes. Matthew's love for Mohanqi is unrequited. In his will, there is no such idea as "what will I get if I help him", only the determination to "change the lost child".
"Take him away, don't let him waste his time here, and find him a music school." "Music can be a regular occupation, but if you are fully prepared, he can enter the Lyon Conservatory of Music. I will be careful not to let him get into bad habits. He may meet bad teachers there. Then he will show what he should look like. " "It's hard to fight alone, but he is very talented, and I swear to do my best to make him stand out." This is Matthew's advice to Mohanqi's mother when he left after he was beaten to pieces by Mohanqi.
The duchess's visit pushed the film to a climax. When Matthew turns to Mohanqi, when a smile blooms on the faces of two people looking at each other? "From MoHanJi focused eyes, I suddenly appreciate a lot of things. With pride, the joy of being forgiven and a new feeling, and people's affirmation of him. "
Not only for Mohanqi, Matthew has a fatherly love for every child in the school. Let the children who are not suitable for singing join in the chorus, and let Pepino be the chorus assistant. Warn Meng Dan not to bully Pepineau. Finally, take Pepineau out of boarding school. When he learned that Meng Dan didn't steal the money, he went to the headmaster to intercede.
He once said to Mo Han Qi's mother, "I have no children, but in fact, maybe I have sixty."
At this moment, my heart is full of joy and optimism. I really want to shout to the world, but who will hear my heart? No one cares about my existence at all ... great artists soon find themselves. My name is Clement Matthew, and I am a retired musician and an unemployed substitute teacher. This is Matthew's inner monologue when he left, and the story ends here.
Clement Matthew, an ordinary man, brought spring to the children of Niuban. He changed the world, to be exact, he was a part of the world-his students. The world is really different because of him. Without him, Mo Han Qi would not have changed from a troubled child who worried his mother to a promising student of Lyon Conservatory of Music and later a musician. Pepineau, an orphan whose parents died in World War II, will not have a stable and loving childhood; Those children who are controlled by corporal punishment will not know that the original cattle class can also have laughter, music and spring.
Everything he did was unrequited. He just created a miracle with his faith and responsibility as a teacher.
What this film brings us is more in-depth thinking about the current education system. Perhaps strict management is effective, but it can't change the child's heart, just like the previous "bottom of the pool". Perhaps only love can really play an educational role.
