——Analysis of the short film "The Secret of the School Choir"

"Secrets of the School Choir" tells the story of the teacher in the choir who made the children who can't sing well lip-synch, and the group of children, mainly Lisa, resisted in silence. Use the contradiction between the female teacher and the child to tell the conflict between the world of children and the world of adults.

The group revisited, the beginning of the revolt. The director uses Lisa's subjective shot as a signal for the beginning of the revolt. Lisa's subjective point of view finds lip-synching children. This is Lisa's first resistance, and it is also the beginning of Lisa's re-examination of the group. Lisa's sense of resistance also began to awaken here, and she had the first head-on conflict with the female teacher, which promoted the development of the subsequent plot.

The director used a close-up shot of the chocolate on the child's hand to reflect the utilitarianism of the adult world. After Lisa had a conflict with the teacher, the director took a close-up shot of the chocolate in the hands of a child. It was the hush money the teacher used to bribe the students not to say that someone in the choir would lip-synch. Chocolate in the short film is a slap in the face of a sweet date, an adult's usual means.

A childlike smile should not be stained with impurities. The music always runs through the short film. The music and the picture are unified during the cheerful clapping game on the playground. The cheerful laughter of the children contrasts with the dull music in the chorus classroom. The children's innocence and the utilitarianism of adults conflict with each other.

Start with music and end with music. The music at the beginning is full of joy and happiness, just like Sophie's group of children, their hearts are full of innocence, their happiness and happiness come easily. The music at the end is as pure and clean as transparent crystal, without impurities. The music at the end has the joy of victory in the struggle, and it is also a sign of their victory in their resistance. They maintain the purity of their hearts and maintain their inner right and wrong.

Only children can distinguish between right and wrong, and there is no right or wrong in the world of adults, only utilitarian. If this is the price of growth, then I hope that children on the road of growth can maintain their innocence and know the world without being sophisticated.

    A very meaningful short film, the story, idea, and performance are all very good, and the little girls are also very spiritual. How many famous directors are on the way to pursue blockbuster films and never return, but it is these small-format films that can truly shake people's hearts. Even if only 20 minutes are enough to insinuate the ills of the entire educational environment and even the entire society, we They all complained about injustice, but never thought of resisting. The final song is so beautiful.

    The red scarves on the chests of many young pioneers have always told us from childhood to obey the overall situation, sacrifice individuals, and do not do anything special. Then the selfishness that had been suppressed for many years was recklessly vented in this society in adulthood, and the former socialist countries also burst out many years later. Of course, the teachers and the children are both right, but the system is wrong. If you are young, you should not be selected if you are not talented. If you are old, you should not be in the system if you are not talented.
