Watched the 2016 Hungarian film "Secrets of the School Choir" tonight. The film won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film that year. In 25 minutes, it tells the story of a game between real singing and fake singing.
For "justice", adults and children have very different understandings. Children can shout "The Emperor has no clothes". In this regard, the more typical Beethoven; and Goethe will take off his hat in front of the nobles. Is the latter sophisticated, or has it been through the vicissitudes of life? Some people say that it is easy to be Beethoven, but difficult to be Goethe. When you think about it, it makes sense.
At the end of the film, of course, the children triumph. They sing away adults' scheming with real singing. Courage is commendable, wisdom is commendable. But I think, if this is the truth of human history, then, where do those adults who are thinking about it today come from?
