Life is beautiful because of you

The title is translated very well. Actor Richard Dreyfuss was nominated for Best Actor at the 68th Academy Awards for this film. A high school music teacher, with his thirty years of music teaching, helped clarinet girls who lacked self-confidence to get out of their inferiority complex, taught black boys how to play drums, and sent away a class of graduates, while his son was born deaf and mute.
The first half of the film is a little dull, until the teacher is middle-aged, and the relationship with his family has a rift, and the hazy temptation entangles around him. Life seems to have stalled and the plot becomes intense and clear. The teacher resolved all the contradictions one by one with his beloved music, and sang for his son for the first time.
The film spans not only decades of the protagonist's life, but also three decades of American musical and social history (the Martin Luther King speeches, the assassination of Kennedy, the Vietnam War, the death of John Lennon). When the teacher retired on the day, the students held a farewell concert for him to express the highest respect to him, and the female governor delivered a speech:
"His success is more meaningful than fame and fortune, look at everyone around you, who has Influenced by you, and because of you, we have all become better people. We are your symphony orchestra, we are the notes and melody of your work, we are the movement of your life.
" The little girl with the sound.
ps. The deaf and mute son of adulthood is so handsome!

After watching the movie, I listened to all John Lennon songs.

    It's a very simple movie, but it can move people's hearts. Did yesterday's reappearance come from this movie? Otherwise, why did you watch the MV from this movie?

    Some of Forrest Gump's rush to show the life of a small person, but also shows the great history of modern America. The joy of being a teacher, the bitterness and sweetness of being a human being.
