The Chorus (Les Choristes) - Review
from Jurgen Fauth
“The Chorus” is a movie you have seen many times before. Cute, well-acted and utterly predictable, Christophe Barratier's feature debut delivers just what the advertising promises: a musician who has given up on fame takes a job as supervisor at a school for hard cases, and when he teaches the boys how to sing, they mellow out and begin to love him dearly.
Fond d'Etang, the name of the school run with iron fist by the stern Rachin (Francois Berleand), translates as "Rock Bottom,” but round-faced Clement (Gerard Jugnot) holds on to his good cheer. His cuddly exterior betrays a warm intelligence--apparently he knows that he is in the kind of movie where a little art will certainly tame the teenage beasts, and so he sorts the boys by their voices and starts a choir.
All the necessary types are present in the classroom: the cute small kid, the brazen thieves and hormone-addled thugs, and of course the surprisingly talented teacher's pet (Jean-Baptiste Maunier), from whose adult perspective the story is told. In the opening scene, we learn that he ends up in New York City as one of the "greatest conductors in the world"--just to make sure that everybody knows right away that this story has a happy end.本回答被网友采纳

After watching the film, I realized that this "cattle herding class" has nothing to do with the real "cattle herding class". The so-called "cattle herding class" refers to a group of troubled teenagers, their personality, temper and their short but complicated life course. Spring is a hope, a "re" meaning, a winter. After that, everything recovered, a symbol of vitality.
The story takes place in France, a suburb of a small town, with such a strict system of juvenile schools. The students in this school did not become clever because of such strict control. Instead, they became a group of children who were not educated and only used force to solve problems. Nevertheless, no one knows that in such seemingly hopeless children's young hearts, wonderful dreams are quietly sublimating. With such innocent dreams, they met a man who could change their destiny - Matthew.
In movies, the director not only has no patience for the children, but also often imposes severe corporal punishment on the children who have made mistakes. For example, he confines the children in the confinement room alone, ignores the children's fear and fear. Matthew is totally different. He is full of love for the children. He is not blindly partial to the children who have made mistakes. Instead, they were given the chance to change their ways. Under his guidance, every child regained their confidence and found their own spring.
On the way of learning, the influence of teachers on students can be said to be infinite. A bad teacher can destroy a child's life. On the contrary, a good teacher, often with a gentle encouragement and a positive look, can let others see the hopeless bad students and find themselves again. The direction of my life.
When a good teacher is so important, it is very difficult because it is a great learning to teach students with different personalities and qualifications in accordance with their aptitude. In my opinion, "patience" is a good teacher. The most important thing is to have it. Don't yell at students, even fight with each other, No. To give up any student, as long as we use love and confidence, one day the students will become beautiful butterflies.
Matthew, he's like a kind shepherd. He found a group of lost lambs with love. Illuminate the way with love, guide them with love. I want to say: this is not a miracle, but a miracle of love. When disciplining boarding students, students form a choir, inspire their children's potential with music, let wild boys become shining angels, and use pure music to call back their cold hearts for a long time. I clearly remember one of the lines: "Wait a minute, he is my only bass voice." This sentence is full of his dedication to the cause of education; equal to people, regardless of the value, equal attitude.
I remember last semester when Ms. Shanglei's "Principles of Education" emphasized that "everyone is a complete world, should be respected, and existence is valuable". In accepting the principal's task, Mato put forward three conditions: first, not to punish students corporally; second, let me punish students who committed crimes; third, not to reveal their names. All of them reflect his concern for young people's spirituality and humanity.
Finally, everything in this class changed. Beautiful scenes of spring emerge in every child's mind. What they felt from Matthew was no longer the fear of making mistakes every day, but gradually transformed into fatherly love.
