Mr. Holland's Opus, how should I translate the name of this film? I saw the online translation as "Life is beautiful because of you". I think I should literally translate it as "Mr. He's Symphony Orchestra".
At the age of 30, Mr. He was reluctant to go to a high school in the United States to teach music appreciation courses (the first half, I didn’t see it). It seemed that it was because of the teachings given to him by several children. One of them was The black kids, seeing the part where they were playing drums together, didn't figure out the situation, so they changed the channel. When I changed the channel, in this section, the cause of Teacher He's determination to dedicate to the cause of education disappeared, ha ha.
The story begins with Mr. He’s wife taking his 4-year-old son to participate in the holiday parade. During this period, a fire truck honked its horns as they passed the road. Everyone covered their ears. Only Mr. He’s son was completely oblivious. There was no response, and the mother noticed something was wrong with her son at that moment. Suspicions and worries hit the mother's heart.
In the evening, Teacher He came back from get out of class, and when he entered the door, he shouted his son's name: "Kor, Kor, where are you." His wife walked over. Teacher He read from his wife's eyes that it was not appropriate, and then, the son was diagnosed as being wrong. 90% of hearing loss. The doctor suggested not to teach sign language to his son, but try to talk to him face-to-face, so as not to rely on sign language to live his son's life, so as not to be classified as a deaf person in his future life and become an alien in the eyes of ordinary people.
The camera was switched. In the classroom, Mr. He affectionately talked about Beethoven’s deafness and Beethoven’s classic creations. Was that about Beethoven or his own feelings as a son. Looking at the tears in his eyes, we are all unknown. "Actually, there is also a short story here. When Beethoven was creating, he really saw off the legs of the piano, and then lay on the floor, wanting to hear his own creation through the vibration of the piano sound." He was immersed in it, and did not speak for a long time. The student shouted: "Teacher He, Teacher He~~" Well, he was surprised and calmed down. You said, "I want to ask if Beethoven hasn't even heard the symphony before, he How is it possible to listen to my own creation." "Oh, this, he is not born deaf~~" This faint and plain words may also reveal He's own son's secret.
Time flies. During this period, history has also undergone tremendous changes. The changes of human souls flashed past in the film in a fast overlapping manner, and time suddenly came to the scene of He's son 8 years old. Because there was no sign language, the mother didn't understand what the son wanted to express. The anger broke out at that moment, just because the son wanted something to eat, and the mother didn't understand what he wanted. The son lost his temper and took everything. Throwing it on the ground, He was annoyed at the truth and cumbersomeness of this life. He yelled, what he wants, you give it to him. My mother is also on the verge of emotional breakdown, stepping forward, I don’t understand what he is saying, have you seen it, I’m going to send him to learn sign language, I’m going to learn sign language, I don’t care what the doctor said. , I want to know what my son is talking about, I want to tell him I love him! (This is the voice of all mothers in the world~~)
He reluctantly agreed to his wife's request, but the high tuition made him stop, or his wife, come forward, and we will find a way for the tuition. The sign language school told the children’s parents that it would take 6 months to study, 3 hours a day. He was stunned. He didn’t have so much time. This moment also laid the groundwork for the following story.
Is it because the deafness of his son makes He who genius music unacceptable? Is it because the real and cumbersome marriage makes He unable to breathe, or is He upset because of the high tuition, or is it because he is unable to communicate with his son and is unwilling Use your time to learn sign language and share the bits of life with your son, while letting yourself escape from everything that is ordinary? He chose to devote himself to teaching career.
It coincided with the school performance. A young and beautiful woman, a woman with a charming singing voice and a charming body, with her beauty, young and precious singing voice, as well as her interpretation and deep grasp of music, at that moment, At the moment of the audition, he gently walked into He's heart. He was inspired by her in his life, singing for her, fascinated by her, and breathing for her, but He is still steady, well-controlled, and not overstepping the rules. However, his love for her, But the woman saw it in her eyes and remembered it to the bottom of her heart. In the coffee shop, the woman (student) Luo Wei Na told He that her ideal was to go to New York to sing for thousands of people, instead of staying in her hometown and being a little waiter in her parents' restaurant. He thought deeply again at that moment, and he encouraged Luo Wei Na to work hard to pursue her dream, instead of spending her life in the ordinary. When you are young, when you are still capable of doing this, do it.
In the family, the conflict between He and his wife and son also reached a climax. He could not understand or understand his son’s sign language. He did not understand that his son happily went home to express his desire to learn aerospace knowledge and the joy and happiness of robots. The wife reproached him, and the son was expecting to go to the party with his father that night, and the father missed the appointment again. He Boran was furious and yelled at his wife. You are not satisfied with what I do. No matter how much I give, no matter how much I bear, you will never be satisfied. In a rage, He rushed out of the house.
For the performance, He played for Luo Wei Na, saw Luo Wei Na's eyes, heard Luo Wei Na's charming singing, breathed in the breath of Luo Wei Na's chest, and felt the beauty of Luo Wei Na's elegant neck like a swan. He was full of love again. At that moment, the clever Lovina discovered the music He Wei had composed for her, and she sang gently with the piano sound of He. That was all He’s love, all the affection that was aroused and ignited by her. His creation is so beautiful, pure and full of longing. That piano lesson, that flowing music, and that soft groan are also the most breathtaking sound between this pair of men and women who have never happened. Love.
He returned home and began to compose music, and wrote "Luo Wei Na's Song" on the tune. His wife accidentally saw it, and asked He who Luo Wei Na was. He stunned and replied, oh, it is a goddess in Greek mythology.
When the day of the performance came, Luo Wei Na won the applause with all her beauty, youth, beauty, elegance, and the sound of the heavens that pierced through the heavenly stones to heaven. After the performance, Lovina walked to He’s side and issued an invitation, “I decided to go to New York after the performance is over tomorrow night. I can’t wait for a moment. I’m going to fulfill my wish. I hope you can go with me. I know you have a wife and a child, I will wait for you at the station, don’t you see? You have the talent for composing music, and I want you to compose music for me." He, startled, I can only say, I encourage you to go New York, isn't it so anxious? Luo Wei Na turned around and gave him a bright smile. I will be waiting for you at the station tomorrow night!
In the evening, He returned home, took out the photos of his wife and son for the first time, and looked through them silently, looking at the ordinary, simple, true and serious existence of his wife and son throughout his life.
The next day, the performance continued, and the wife and her son also participated. Inadvertently, the wife saw the name "Luo Wei Na" on the list of songs introduced by the performance. The wife stared at Luo Wei Na who was singing on the stage and understood a lot, but she Said nothing. Luo Wei Na still sang, He was directing, Luo Wei Na yelled her heartfelt words to He: "Follow me, I am a woman in need of care~~" The singing ended in the thunderous applause of everyone, and He was there too. Staring at Lovina for a long time in an instant, as if to write that moment into the depths of the soul.
Outside the concert hall, He held his wife’s head and said sincerely, “The students have a thank-you meeting. I’m going to participate in it. Shall we go together?” His wife declined, she declined very plainly and she had deep trust and love. , Took his son home first.
At the station, Luo Wei Na was waiting for He with her luggage excitedly. He appeared in a dress and loose tie. Luo Wei Na was a little disappointed for a moment: "Is your luggage so little?" He, the old friend in New York The home address is given to Luo Wei Na, go find them, their husband and wife will wait for you, this is the best for you.
(In this video, my personal feelings are very deep. At the age of 40 or 50, men are easily impressed by youth and beauty. This is because they are not wrong at all, because as long as the world is beautiful We all admire and appreciate things sincerely, not to mention the living beauty. But for He, whether he fell in love with Lovina or other, in fact, deep down in my heart, what he loves most is still his art. The god of his music, Luo Wei Na is the fantasy and representative of the god of art. And then Luo Wei Na’s invitation has actually returned to reality, because Luo Wei Na wants someone who can help her compose music, can praise her, can be right She is a helpful person in her career. Of course, Luo Wei Na is not wrong, she really needs him, she needs his help and care. But, He, can you let go of the people who have been in the pillow for decades? Can you let go of his hard work? Can the family maintained for ten years be more able to put down his school career? He is such a person who was born to inspire others to influence others and bring the beautiful soul and music of the world to others. Can he put it down. So he finally I chose to return, return to family, return to life itself)
He returned home, his wife was already asleep in bed, He lowered her head and kissed his wife lightly, telling her "I love you", the wife turned over and hugged He's head, satisfied and calm Said "I know".
Many years passed by, and He's son was already a teenager in a blink of an eye. That day, John Lennon (Yoko Ono's husband) was robbed and killed in the street. The news was reported on the radio. He was very sad and returned home with a heavy heart. At home, his son Keer was repairing the car. He opened the engine cover and his face was dirty. He accidentally saw his son’s face with scars and asked what was going on. The son answered him in sign language, but he couldn’t understand. So I said, forget it, I'll talk about it later, my son was very angry, and he was pulling at him, so he must say it immediately. He was very helpless and very angry. Can you wait and say, because I am in a bad mood and an important musician has just left. The son was unwilling and unforgiving. He pulled He to his mother's side and asked his mother to translate his sign language. He had to make it clear: "Don't you think I am sad when John Lennon is dead? You think I don't know that John Lennon is music. Home? Do you think I don’t know music? I know, I know everything, but have you taught me? You only taught your students. You only have your students in your heart. You have never taught me. ." Then, the son slammed the door out with a gesture of "jerk". He and his wife looked at each other, and He suddenly understood a lot.
He went to the sign language school to negotiate with the principal to hold a music concert for the children. The principal suggested that there can be several forms, because these children have a little bit of hearing and can hear, so that the children can sit as far forward as possible and feel the music. Vibration and magnetic field energy are used to flash a sense of rhythm with red lights, and sign language is used when singing. That day and night, He’s orchestra played many classic songs for the children. Finally, He stepped onto the stage and sang, using standard gestures and singing to sing a song of father by John Lennon to his son. At that moment, After more than ten years of vicissitudes, He reconciled with his son. When I got home, my son sat on his father’s record player, feeling the vibration of the record player and speakers, and then took out all kinds of records piled all over the room, and said to his father, I want to know more, come, teach me, and my father too He can’t help but participate in it~~
(Here, He finally reconciled with his own life, reconciled with his son, and also reconciled with the illness that attacked his son, reconciled with his destiny, because the destiny is like this, not because his father is the messenger of music. , And so that the father’s son can have intelligent ears, perhaps this is the real homework and problem for the father, son and mother by fate.)
Time passed by, and He was already full of silver hair. In order to cut the funds, the principal had to cut all art courses. This meant that the 60-year-old He was fired. He refused to admit defeat and filed a lawsuit with the Education Committee, but the results obtained remained the same without change. He Anran was distraught. Suddenly, he felt that Western civilization seemed to be over. He also felt that the 30 years of hard work in his life was in vain. It seemed that he had become a superfluous person overnight. A joke, I am such an insignificant person, because no one cares at all. At this time, there was the sound of car horns outside the window. It turned out that He's wife and the energetic son came to the school to receive congratulations. The son has grown up, and he looks like a handsome young man, and he is full of youthful vigor. He has been admitted to Qizhi School to be a teacher for deaf and mute children. This may be the best destiny God has given to He’s son. With gifts. He, his son and his wife helped each other out of the office, walked in the stairwell, and suddenly heard the sound of music. What was that? He hesitated? The wife and son smiled at each other, and the mystery was about to be revealed. He followed the music into the school’s auditorium and opened the door. Oh my god, the auditorium with thousands of people was full of seats. Everyone greeted He’s arrival with music and applause. The banner read "Teacher He farewell party." He eyes. With tears flickering again, he slowly walked through the aisle of the auditorium, surrounded by all his professors' students. The applause and cheers made He wonder how to incorporate this situation into his mind. My wife came to the stage as a short-lived host. With a bang, the door was pushed open, and a group of people filed in. The leader was He’s student, the current female governor (of course, the old American movie added some dramatic effects here). The female governor stepped onto the stage with high spirits: "Ms. He thinks that she has been fired, he has doubts about his life, and he feels that he is worthless. But we want to tell you, please look around. Which one of us is not your student? , Which one is not deeply influenced by you, we feel the beauty of life and become better because of your professor, and each of us is greatly influenced by you. Here, please allow us to play a song early It's the American symphony under your command." The curtain opened and He Chengcheng's students formed a symphony orchestra. He repressed his excitement and stepped onto the stage, holding the baton, and performed the most classic "American Symphony."
(After the film is complete, life is like this. Every moment is real. Don’t think that you are not important. Don’t think that you have never been infected and loved and loved by others. In this dream country, just do it, just go Work hard, as long as you bring beauty to people around you, you can naturally infect and influence others. As long as there is action, love, and beauty, life has everything.)
