Education has always been a heavy topic, because there is always a dictator like Principal Hassan, who imposes a high-handed rule on the children and rudely treats all mistakes made by the students. However, children in this period are also most prone to rebellious psychology, so they try to trick their teachers with violence and violence. Mr. Matthew brought a brand-new teaching concept, which made this school called "Bottom of the Pond" a backwater. Every student dreams of such a teacher who can let go of the teacher's air and get along with the students, unlike the principal who always looks like a condescending reformer; tolerant and generous, don't remember hatred, and still be there for them after being tricked Excusing in front of the principal; knowing humor, a joke can ease the tension and win laughter with relief; teaching methods, in-depth communication, teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, from forming a choir to Mo Hangzhi, Pepino, and Mengdan. Different attitudes, the whole film can see his wholehearted devotion to education. Autocracy and democracy, brutality and kindness, coldness and warmth, doubt and trust, two completely different ways of thinking have always been in conflict. Although Mr. Matthew was finally forced to leave, judging from the paper airplanes flying all over the sky and the little hands waving all over the windows, he was the real winner.
The music teaching method in the film left a deep impression on me. Like Maria in The Sound of Music, Mr. Matthew created a lively teaching atmosphere with pleasant notes. Music is the most simple and abstract art form, but because of this, it can bring the most pure and beautiful edification and enjoyment. The choir in this film is more like a choir in a church. The singing is soft and solemn, like a stream flowing through the long-dry heart, washing away the dust on it. The cohesion brought by the chorus signifies the firm religious belief of Westerners, and the eyes looking up to the same starry sky with longing for redemption seem to be calling for a better tomorrow with singing. Music has such a huge appeal, so even the principal who doesn't see a smile on weekdays will have a childlike innocence, play paper airplanes alone, and even join the children's football games.
In fact, this kind of story format is very old-fashioned, and after all, it cannot surpass the shock brought by "Dead Poets Society". Mr. Keating's character is more distinct, his language is more tense, and his teaching method has a unique charm that is deviant. Neil's suicide was a blood-sucking form of defiance, a perfect illustration of dictatorship strangling liberty. The plot of this film is much more bland. One and a half hours is not enough for people to brew their emotions. Although the final passion is also released by the paper airplane at the time of farewell, the excavation of the characters' psychology is not deep enough. In "The Society", the children couldn't help crying when they stood up to their desks one by one. The episode of Matthew's crush on Mo Hangzhi's mother is also confusing, and he doesn't know what it has to do with the theme. Of course, this film is also an inspirational piece worth watching. It is a cool spring in summer and a ray of sunshine in winter. It can definitely make people feel the vitality and upward force of spring. For educators, Can be a spiritual baptism.
