find angel

On the evening of the weekend, I quietly enjoyed "Spring in the Cattle Class" by myself.
The choking is a constant feeling when watching the film, because of the little boy Mo Hanqi and because of the substitute teacher Matthew. Of course, there are still many typical characters in this film, such as the indifferent and incompetent director of the "Tangdi Youth Nursing Home", the benevolent and amiable Father Mai, and the silly and cute Bebino... In addition, this The film also revealed many profound social problems and human shortcomings, such as vanity and utilitarianism, indifference, fraud and exploitation... Centered on the nursery school, there is a story about troubled teenagers that is unique and attractive. But I just want to select Mohanqi and Matthew as the central point of the review. Because these two souls resonate with me beyond words.
Mo Hanqi, this handsome and clean little boy, every time the camera focuses on him, I can't help but worry. His clear sadness, grief and helplessness, so much resentment in his eyes, always radiated chilling pain in the dark. A quiet and taciturn boy, the director is so smart and delicate that his eyes express his heart. Those two brown and bright pupils always set the focus so far away, and that was his whole world! There is his beloved mother, there is the unspeakable pain and resentment of an illegitimate child, there is his beautiful singing voice, there is his simple innocence, and there is the paradise he dreams of! When he clung to the iron door of the confinement room, when he tilted his head and stared out of the teacher's window, when he concentratedly stared at Mr. Matthew singing, when he lay on the bed in a daze, you can see his The soul world, the world he clings to. Because of this, he is truly embarrassing. He thought he was going to be a hooligan, wear dirty clothes, make faces, and hide himself through these "devil" behaviors, but on the contrary, he made us fall in love with his angelic roots. When the bright sunshine falls on his white face, when the smile blooms with the gentle and ethereal singing, his eyes are shining and his heart is flying. Although dressed in untidy clothes, he is the most moving elf.
There are always some silent people, but their forbearance and concealment give people strong strength.
However, how to look, can we see the appearance of the soul? How can we pass through those silent and withdrawn personalities and negative and disrespectful behaviors directly to the real world?
This question, Mr. Matthew answered meticulously.
be kind.
That bald, chubby substitute teacher, behind his mediocre appearance, hides a sensitive, meticulous, kind and persistent heart. Yes, he is an out-of-date musician, and even he himself vowed never to compose again at the beginning, but he continued to compose because of a steady stream of inspiration. Never say never. The reality is not that it is terrible and cruel to force everyone to be as indifferent and utilitarian as the dean, nor is it that every problem teenager is so bad that there is only an educational method of foul punishment. Matthew's sensitivity and kindness made him see the cuteness and inner desire of the children, and his persistence and perseverance gave them room for development. His initial fears, his diary, his score, his defiance against the dean, his cover-up of punishment for Mohanki, his nod to Mohanki as he performed in the choir, he got off the bus and turned around Picking up Babino... is all due to his kindness and persistence. It is pure and heart-warming, because it is completely from the nature, not for fame, but only for a conscience.
Those melodious harmonies lingering in the sky, I hope, can evoke the most genuine compassion in people.
