What kind of life, inactive or dim, will finally freeze with a fluttering posture, joys and sorrows and tears flying away, becoming a memorable or forgotten past, this world-under the stars and above the earth, what can stay forever? The shocking power of a good movie can stir in the heart for a long time. As the world becomes more and more realistic, the shock becomes more precious. "The Spring of the Cow Herding Class" is one of my favorite French films. I like the implicit and beautiful expression of French films. Be in it, be that person, and spend a lifetime with it. (1) Matthew seems to be one of us. He is a "bald man". After being unemployed, he came to a boarding school. The name of this school is called "The bottom of the pool." "(It is also translated as the bottom of the pond), he was full of enthusiasm, but was hit hard by the mess. But he is a benevolent, friendly, cordial, and upright person. He has never given up his ideals. In his own way, he gradually approached these almost forgotten teenagers. He could threaten them at the beginning by sending them to the principal’s office, but when Lao Mai was transferred to the hospital seriously, the child was really scared. It seemed that death came to his side all at once. He timidly asked, "He will Die?" What Matthew did was to hold the child's head against his chest and tell him, "No, the doctor will save him." The material world is abundant at any time, but people's hearts are always there. It's so cold. The world has become more and more realistic, and the communication of hearts has become the first thing abandoned by people, but in "The Spring of the Cow Herding Class", the person who still walks into the heart of the child with love under that harsh environment, he A lifetime is worthy. Because the mind is never used to conquer but to approach and warm. There was the light of love illuminating his heart. The pale woman leaned against the wall and looked out the window. There was melancholy between her eyebrows. She stood in Matthew's heart with such a posture. Love made him stammer and spread small lies. When he saw Moran’s mother again for the second time, he changed clothes and polished his shoes at the fastest speed in the universe. The third time he watched her leaning against her. On the wall, close your eyes and enjoy the summer sun. The wrinkles in the corners of your eyes are also moving. The fourth time I met, I looked at the beautiful woman in floral dress in front of me, full of joy, but I knew I would be wrong. After listening to what was said from her mouth, Matthew's eyes were suddenly gloomy, and his smile was still frozen. His face, but you can feel his inability to breathe. (two) Do you remember the scene in which Moran was fined and confined for writing bad words about the principal during class? Close the door, the screen will darken suddenly, then close the window , The picture became darker, and Moran’s hostile eyes could only be seen from the small hole. When the countess visited later, Matthew stopped punishing him and gave him an unexpected opportunity. His eyes From suspicion to surprise, full of "forgiveness joy and unspeakable gratitude", the little male protagonist has not many lines, but has been acting with his eyes. This boy with a thin body and a handsome face hides a wild volcano under his "angel face", yet he yearns for tenderness so much, and his voice is clear and pure, and his voice is the real sound of nature. , More beautiful than hope. He is the biggest bright color in the film, and without his voice, this film would be much more mediocre. (3) You don’t have to know French, music is a common language. With each song and word, Matthew is gradually accepted by the children. The hostility gradually dissipated from the eyes of the children. When the choir was actually supported by the evil principal, the days became fuller and more beautiful, and the picture became brighter. Under the white clouds, on the long bridge, the running teenager, and the old wheat He also came back, and Matthew, the music sung by the children is his biggest motivation. Be sure to pay attention to the lyrics. When the choir was finally established and welcomed, the lyrics were so heavy and gloomy, but beautiful, and shockingly beautiful, as if in the boundless darkness, but sinking and yet again. Dancing desperately, looking forward to the light of dawn.  meeting the lost lamb in the dark reach out your helping hand lead them to create new worlds make them from the abyss of hesitation see the emergence of hope The heat of life (four). The small details make us laugh. When deciding to form the selection area for the choir, the boys tried to sing one after another, making people laugh. There was a giant panda eye, like a boy with smoky makeup. During the exam, he kept singing "Cuckoo Cuckoo Cuckoo Cuckoo". "Gu", and Pilino asked in a low voice during the exam: "Leli, are we good friends?", "Of course, why do you ask?", "How much is five times three?", "Fifty-three", "You Are you sure?", "Of course", "Thank you".  (5) Good and evil have always been entangled. There was an accident at the school, and Matthew was forced to leave his job and asked not to say goodbye to the children. Matthew walked helplessly on the way to leave, but finally was not disappointed. Paper airplanes continued to fly out of the window of the high wall, like the sky fell. Can't see the children's faces, but see a group of hands waving.   Do not seek knowledge, just to realize their ideals. Because of the pursuit, he finally realized his ideal. Moran became a musician. Matthew taught music throughout his life. Pillino’s wish was also fulfilled. The day he followed Matthew was exactly Saturday, and it was his father who was coming to pick him up. His day. Let’s go back to the beginning of the film. The successful Moran played an important role on the world’s musical stage. In his diary, the memories came to his heart. In 50 years he has been young and old. God has given him a good talent. But Moran didn’t know that he had two hands pushing him forward and his eyes were watching. He, a person, used his not tall body to lift him up at the most critical moment in his life. This is a movie about the relationship between teachers and students, and also about heart and love. The plot of the movie may be plain or tortuous. In my opinion, there are only two kinds of stories in the world, one with love and one without love. If you read this article, then please, be sure to read it. However, there are only two kinds of stories in the world, one with love and one without love.

    Music makes life! "Spring in the Cattle Class": Nice music, nice movie! Once, music was my first dream; unfortunately, I was not so lucky to meet a music teacher like Clement in my childhood with the best voice; on the contrary, now I see some of me in him The shadow of: I am not a teacher, but I am also accompanied by a group of children. We are not a choir, but a movie troupe or a play band...
