Re-watching "School of Rock" (I watched it in elementary school before), I feel that when the music teacher played it for us, it really might bring bad children.
First of all, as a high school student in the new era, I am really worried about the academics of the kids there (occupational diseases, right), but they should be better off in the United States, and if they are in China, the school can simply close down. Hey, I can't help but complain about the wonderful college entrance examination system. When I enter high school, I will be crushed by my studies.
In short, such a non-professional fat paper met this group of kids by accident, and fat paper revealed a kind of madness unique to rock people (the lingering eyebrows in his mind). It may be a little unaccustomed at first, and then slowly infected.
Although this teacher is terrible at teaching homework, but this fat paper teaches children another thing, and this kind of thing you and I have never been taught, that is, say no! This is exactly the spirit of rock and roll that the film wants to convey to us.
We've always been top students
We've been forced to learn the classics
I (the principal) have been subject to parental interrogation
I (the male protagonist) have been pressed for rent by his girlfriend
I (I) have been nagging to do a few questions today
In front of rock, it doesn't exist. At least this moment, let me die happy.
Gradually, kids felt the charm of rock and roll. This is the first time I am so confident, and for the first time I find myself a very cool person. I think this is what we Chinese children especially need. When you get good grades, the whole world applauds you, but you are worthless if you miss one time (I can swear that there are teachers who really think so). I think our society needs more praise and encouragement. I sing well, yes you're cool! I can draw, oh you're perfect! We need a kind of recognition, not just for learning, yes Recognition in all respects. Just like the little keyboard player, from unconfident to confident transformation. I am very happy for those children, because Fat Paper seriously convinces everyone that he is very powerful, and makes them believe that "at the center of the stage, only I can shine, and only me can shine" (quoting the Youth Practice Manual lyrics).
Their plan was also full of twists and turns, such as the qualifiers almost forbid the performance, but they worked together and finally made it.
Then came the biggest difficulty. The identity of the male protagonist is exposed, and the parents go to the school to find trouble. At this time, the male protagonist has almost been defeated, and his body and mind are exhausted.
It is very touching that the children did not give up. Although this weirdo was usually crazy and didn't do anything good, and now he was found to be a liar, they were willing to believe him. They understood that it was him who let himself out of his own life and found a world that was completely his own, where there was no longer a grading system, and he was no longer forced to play those classical repertoires. You can say that the children are innocent, but the trust established between the fat paper and the children is unshakable. The former found their talent in the latter and the possibility of continuing their rock and roll road, while the latter learned not to look down on life.
The cute one is the principal, a drunk and rocking person whose heart is suppressed by life. Even if I can't be a person like Fat Paper, I am willing to be a person like the principal. Although I am forced by life, I have passion in my heart.
And the best part was of course the performance. To describe it in one word is arrogance. Rock has no reason, rock has no rhythm, you can play it how you want. Everyone present was deeply infected. At this time, the parents finally teased each other with relief, "Hey, your son is not bad, he has won the prize, and your son is also very good.
In the end, he lost! Fat Zhi was lying on the sofa very depressed. At this time, it was the kids who came to enlighten him again, what are you worried about, haven't we already put on an unparalleled performance! Fat Paper thought about it, yes, I chose this path because I was obsessed with the charm of rock and roll.
Well, now let's talk about the feeling of watching it after many years. I understand now that the teacher actually wanted us to understand rock music, but was too young to understand the spirit of rock and roll. But even so, the "school of rock" that they performed after the next wave was still deeply imprinted in their minds. It was shocking at the time, and it is shocking now. This is what really rocked into everyone's heart. I don't know music, I don't know how to play an instrument, but I can be infected by you, and I can scream and cheer with you. This is rock as I understand it.
For Fat Paper, these two things make him the most proud. One is sticking to your dreams. Another is to infect a group of people with rock and roll.
For most of us, watching this movie, even if it's not realistic, even if it's just a fantasy, let it pass the hundred or so minutes happily.
