The film tells a story: the world-renowned conductor Pierre Morhange (Jacques Perrin) returned to France to attend his mother's funeral, and his old friend (Dydia Ferramund) He gave him an old diary. Looking at the diary left by Clement Mathieu (Gerard Zunno), his music enlightenment teacher, Pierre slowly savored the teacher's state of mind. , scenes of childhood memories also surfaced in the depths of his own memory... Clement is a talented musician, but in the French countryside in 1949, he did not have the opportunity to develop his talent, and eventually became a men's boarding house Assistant teacher at the school, which is nicknamed "The Bottom of the Pool" because most of the students here are troubled children. After he took office, Clement found that the school principal (Francois Berleand) used brutal and high-pressure methods to manage this class of troubled teenagers. Corporal punishment was commonplace here. In his spare time, he would compose some chorus pieces, but to his surprise there was no music class in this boarding school, he decided to use the method of music to open the closed hearts of the students. Clement begins teaching the students how to sing, but things don't go well, and one of the biggest troublemakers is Pierre Moanche (Jean-Baptiste Maunier), who has the face and voice of an angel However, he has a troublesome personality. The earnest Clement discovers Pierre's musical talent, and at the same time he also has a subtle relationship with Pierre's mother. But life is not always perfect, Pierre's mother just regarded Clement as a good friend, and chose an engineer, and Clement was forced to leave school because of an accident.
Teachers, so preaching and receiving karma to solve puzzles, teachers are the inheritors of human progress and also the engineers of the soul. Therefore, the so-called teacher's morality should also include three aspects: teaching the truth of life, that is, preaching; imparting professional knowledge, that is, accepting careers; guiding and cultivating students' development, that is, dispelling doubts. Although Clement is a superintendent and has no course duty to manage students, he loves music deeply and is very caring. After seeing these children who are locked in a dull and cold space, he hopes to use music to arouse these children. interest, and cultivate them a correct way of thinking and way of life. His purpose is very simple, he didn't wish for anything, and he didn't deliberately want to shape anything. It was only when he found Pierre's voice and musicality that he realized that a genius might appear, so he guided and protected him. The premise of doing this is that there is absolutely no expectation of return, not even a little immediate benefit, but the risk of going against the principal. Therefore, the greatness of Clement is a kind of selfless devotion, and is willing to burn himself to light up the noble sentiments of others. Even if the children he faces are admittedly stubborn and even infected with bad habits, he is still like a missionary. Tireless, although he was depressed at the beginning, he still persevered patiently, devoted himself wholeheartedly, and was full of care and love for the children. The most precious thing is that at the end of the film, Pierre's mother, whom Clement had a crush on, found her home, and it was at this time that he was also fired by the principal. What he has done for the students since then, instead, he reprimanded the headmaster for his ruthlessness and selfishness. He left the school with dignity and grace, and continued to tutor others in his later days until his death. He has never regretted and unworthy of what he paid, but just took this day as a fulfillment of his duty, with no intention of taking anything.
The advancement of mankind not only requires various industry elites, but also needs people who are willing to lead the way and pave the way. It is their dedication that enables others to make greater progress, and they should accept our high respect. Clement in the movie is like this, and so are many teachers around us, especially when we see teachers in impoverished mountainous areas, under extremely difficult conditions, silently dedicate their youth, hard work, and even their lives, The hope of changing fate brings the children, and this kind of respect is born spontaneously.
However, the progress of the times has also changed many things. Our many years of examination-oriented education mechanism and education industrialization have made many practitioners in the profession of teachers not so deep in their understanding of teacher ethics, and the direction of education is mainly based on further education. , that is, employment. The principles of life, the development of personality, and the guidance of patience have all weakened under the command of the baton of the college entrance examination. Under the pressure of further education and employment, the purpose of learning has become impetuous and utilitarian. Five or six-year-old children should be innocent and carefree, but they bear the heavy expectations of their parents, in order to become a "Harvard girl" "Or "Yale Boys", learning English, reciting Tang poetry, learning piano, reading classics, learning to dance, and practicing tennis all day long. There are no holidays, no free time for activities, and they are fully arranged from day to night. Such children may indeed be close to "Harvard girls", but their precious childhood has become miserable and boring. As a result, the hard work of parents to create geniuses has become a devastation to children. There are many such helpless children in the world who have to endure this kind of "genius education" that is almost fanatical. And some teachers have become the executors of the exam-oriented education system, just like the principal of a boarding school. They manage students with a tough system. They are more concerned about the promotion rate and the improvement of their professional titles and bonuses. Students are treated as fresh life, let alone any guidance. This phenomenon is indeed worthy of our deep thinking and reflection.
