      The spring of the cow herding class

      The French film "Spring in the Cattle Class" tells the story of the musician Matthew and a group of bear children. The film is unpretentious, sincere and touching, and shines in educational films.

      When it comes to bear children, people feel heartbroken. This group of people is sad, and the villains who see flowers are defeated. The unreasonable stubbornness of their bodies, the unpredictable troubles they create, and the inadvertently revealed cuteness often push adults to the brink of...

      feel

      The high school math teacher showed it to us.

      In the French countryside in 1949, the musician Clement went to a boys' boarding school nicknamed "Tang low" as an assistant teacher. Most of the students in the school are troubled children. Corporal punishment is commonplace here. The principal of the school only cares about his own future and is brutal and high-pressure. The quiet character Clement tried to improve this situation with his own methods. He re-composed musical works,...

      What is love education?

      This impression is mainly to talk about what love education is based on the two films of problem juvenile education reflected in CCTV's documentary "Mirror" and "Spring in the Cattle Class".

      In the documentary "Mirror", those troubled children are sent to a training institution to be reformed. The biggest feature of this training institution is that parents can also undergo learning...

      A very idealized inspirational educational film. The music is very nice. The acting and singing of the young actors are excellent. The plot of the film is too idealistic and gives a very good impression. However, many teachers, guides, and beasts keep saying that they want to learn from Mr. Matthew in the film, but what they can do is the dean's work //【20180909 China Film Archive Exhibition】The big screen will be screened after 7 years. I still feel that the plot is too idealistic. It was...

    Evaluation action

    The plot of "The Chorus" can be called the French version of the "spicy teacher"; the theme structure is not new, but it pushes the fun, warmth and cuteness to the extreme, and reflects the respect for teachers and the care for problem students. This film has no beauty, no violence, no action, and not too many commercial elements. The film is like a clear stream. It uses the most classical techniques to tell the most pure story. It...
