Chapter 1581 The warm sound of nature in the darkness
"Springtime of the Cowherd Class" has completely become the highlight of the China Overseas International Film Festival.
Film critic Du Xianghai also immediately wrote a long review for this movie.
"I have seen many movies about teachers changing students. After watching them, they are often full of motivation and passion, and full of the power to make people work hard. But "Spring of the Cowherd Class" is subtly different. After watching it, I feel
It's warm and touching, which is probably due to the temperament of the film.
Compared with other hot-blooded youth movies, this movie has a smoother flow. Although from the repressive and serious beginning, to the slow opening of each other's hearts, to the final mutual understanding and mutual trust but facing separation, these plots are similar to other movies.
But the less than perfect ending gives the story a touch of sadness and helplessness, making it even more touching.
Music is the most important element throughout this movie. The children's singing voices varied from being unskilled to singing beautiful music together in the end. It is Mr. Matthew's and the children's joint efforts and progress.
.Music has narrowed the distance between them and changed the way they deal with the world.
It can be said that the movie truly interprets the word "sound of nature". I heard that the soundtrack of this movie was personally composed by a classical music master, which is indeed extraordinary.
Teacher Matthew is not a passionate teacher who blindly protects and believes in love education. He has experienced a lot of worldly affairs and human relationships, and he also has moments of compromise. But he believes in the power of music, has the vision to see the talents of children, and has the patience to do so.
To protect the children's enthusiasm for music. Every time Pierre sang, I saw a child who truly loved music and had musical talent. Fortunately, he could meet Mr. Matthew who was willing to care for him.
He helps his teacher.
I was very reluctant for such a teacher to leave the children he loved sadly, but I also really liked the scene at the end when Mr. Matthew was dismissed. He walked out of the teaching building with a sense of disappointment and saw that no child came to see him off, but when he walked a few steps further
, I saw the paper airplanes folded by the children, saw the little hands waving goodbye from the window, and heard the song the children sang for him:
Look at the road you pass by/the children are lost/reach out to them/give them a hand/step towards the days ahead/the direction in the darkness/the light of hope/the passion in life/the lane of glory
The joy of childhood/fleeting and forgotten/a brilliant golden light/shining at the end of the trail/the direction in the darkness/the light of hope/the passion in life/the lane of glory...
In fact, this world is like the "Bottom of the Pond" in "Spring of the Cowherd Class". Everyone is wreaking havoc, rushing here and there, as if it is all the fault of this world.
The excitement and subtlety of the movie is that everyone can find their own shadow in the children in the school, and then watch an uncompromising bald teacher charging against this false world again and again, with the sound of music.
Way, in a gentle way, in a calm way.
Before he came to "the bottom of the pond", he had already witnessed the suffering of life.
In the movie, he was also desperate and depressed.
But he never gave up. I have to say that director Li Yi is really getting better and better. As a director who is best at sensationalism and tear-jerking, this time, he maintained great restraint.
Among them, restraint includes restraint of sensationalism, restraint of reasoning, restraint of all dogmatic words and famous aphorisms.
It just tries to tell a story quietly, about an ordinary person fighting against the boredom and absurdity, boredom and vanity, malice and ugliness of the world. In the way of a song of the night, in a way that the ending is brilliant.
It tells a story of a person who is running around in the hope of getting something in return. After throwing away his armor, he inadvertently discovers a trace of the meaning of life and inadvertently gets the rewards of life.
There are too many such stories around us, and they are also stories that ordinary people can reach.
We have a lot of videos about education, but they always try to tell you inadvertently what you should do!
But "Spring of the Cowherd Class" is not!
The content of this movie really matches the name. The Cowherd Class is the collective name for restless students, and spring is their new life.
On the first day Matthew entered school, he was forced to put a student in solitary confinement because the child hit the discipline teacher's eye with an ink bottle as a prank. Teacher Matthew knew who the culprit was, but he did not choose to hand the child over to the cruel teacher.
the principal,
Instead, he made an agreement with him to let the child take care of the correctional officer. The correctional officer was very grateful for this and said: You are not hopeless, in fact, you are a good child. Although it was a common sentence, it made this arrogant and domineering child
The child was silent.
Neither parents nor teachers have done much in this way. Everyone advocates that whoever is at fault should bear the responsibility.
When encountering such a teacher, I believe that even children who are considered to be in the "cow-herding class" will remain silent. Why?
Because no one has ever told them that you are actually a good boy.
Teacher Matthew asked the child to take care of the discipline teacher so that he could learn to take responsibility. After learning to take responsibility, the child knew that his behavior was wrong. Even after the discipline teacher's condition worsened, he would worry and ask, "Will he die?"
?”
In the first class, Teacher Matthew asked everyone to write down their dreams. Unexpectedly, every child was very serious. Teachers and parents may never know the innocence and innocence in these immature hearts.
Dreams: Hot air balloon pilot, architect, tiger tamer, even a general like Napoleon.
Many of the children at the bottom of the pond have become "naughty children" because of their parents. They long for their parents' love and attention, but their parents always think that food and clothing are enough. For a child
For children, all they want is someone to accompany them, someone to pay attention to, and someone to understand them. So they seek attention in every possible way.
In the movie, Teacher Mathieu patiently cultivates the talented Pierre, and even helps him contact the Lyon Conservatoire to give Pierre the opportunity to sing solo. He will also find the shining points of students who sing out of tune, such as
Corban, teacher Matthew asked him to serve as the music stand.
These children changed from playing pranks on Teacher Matthew to trusting and relying on them. When Pierre threw the ink on Teacher Matthew's head, a group of children pushed him and said how could you do this. Children may be the most powerful in the world.
They are the purest, the simplest, and the easiest people to be impressed. They also know right from wrong and right from wrong. It’s just that adults never give them equal opportunities. They always think that we have eaten more rice and traveled a long way. We say
Everything is the truth. In fact, children are the ones who need to understand the most, but we often ignore it.
In fact, children are far kinder than we think. No one is born a "bad child". The "Three Character Classic" for children's enlightenment states that "in the beginning, people are inherently good by nature, similar in nature, and far apart in habits..."
We all understand the truth, but when it comes to ourselves, we tend to ignore it all.
In order to prevent Pierre's talent from disappearing, Mathieu spent a lot of effort. In the chorus, he chose to cancel Pierre's solo part, leaving Pierre in the cold. However, when the countess was watching the performance, he motioned for Pierre to sing three times.
, at that moment, Pierre truly knew how to be grateful.
If you want to do something, express it through actions. Leading by example must be the best education method.
Although Teacher Matthew was eventually fired and left the school due to a fire, his arrival brought about earth-shaking changes in the entire school. Even the discipline teachers changed. They began to care about the children, and finally jointly complained against the cruel principal. The one named
Pepino also had his Saturday.
This is brought by Matthew, he is like a spring breeze, blowing the breath of spring!
Let people understand that children are not "hopeless" as they thought!
Let them know that they can make children better!
Education is one cloud pushing another cloud, one tree shaking another tree, and one soul awakening another soul. An extraordinary teacher Matthew warmed the entire cowherding class with the truth and light of his humanity.

The education method of this video is really rare in our modern society. We are used to spoon-fed education, used to having only one answer to everything, used to being arranged by parents and teachers to advance the way forward, used to having textbook knowledge above all else.
hobby......
We are constantly being managed, "educated", and punished. Gradually, we begin to lose our thinking and energy. At least around me, I really can't see anyone who has a dream to do something. Everyone's goal is
Just keep improving your grades, keep endorsing, and keep giving up things you like.
So I am so lucky to have a teacher like Matthew!”
In fact, "Spring of the Cowherd Class" also quickly aroused heated discussions among many netizens.
It has received rave reviews.
On the popular film review website, the score is as high as 9 points or more.
What's interesting is that the preferences for this movie vary.
Some people say that this is a classic educational film!
Some people also say that the music inside is truly the sound of nature.
Some people say that this is a movie that allows you to get back on the road when you are exhausted!
Some people say that this is a movie that heals the soul!
Some netizens commented: "There is no violence, action, beauties or handsome guys in the whole film, and there are no commercial elements.
The movie reflects some issues that cannot be ignored in society: children really need a teacher like Matthew when they are growing up.
Children's rebellious period needs more respect, correct guidance, and even more meticulous care.
The world of children is a small, deep garden filled with exotic flowers and plants, clear spring water, and beautiful birdsong.
Sometimes adults are just blinded by the stone wall outside the garden, and they think it is just an ordinary building or an abandoned house.
In fact, sometimes it’s not that beautiful things don’t exist, it’s just that we gave up the opportunity to find the entrance, so we missed a beautiful scenery, or even destroyed an originally beautiful garden.
We need to use all our love and care to swim in every child who is temporarily lost in the ocean of life, so that in the moments of fear and anxiety, they can see your warm smile and outstretched arms that will never leave you."
Some netizens were amazed that one person can be so powerful!
"How powerful can one person be? The teacher Matthew in the film has undoubtedly had a huge impact on these children living at the bottom of the pond. He brings them together, explores the strengths of each person, and tolerates and understands them with love.
, slowly polishing off their edges, this is what some frustrated people long for, maybe comfort, or maybe love.
He made every "problem student" begin to see the light of hope!
He allowed Pierre's talent to be realized!
He gave Pepino his Saturday!
He gave Mengdan, a child who gave up on himself, a new lease of life.
..."
"Movies are often fictional and may not happen in real life.
But it entrusts people with their beautiful longing for life.
"Spring in the Cowherd Class" made me truly feel the teacher's ardent hope and deep love for the students.
In the simple and plain language, I suddenly understood: In fact, in everyone's heart, there is such a beautiful garden. The four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter are distinct, and they change anytime and anywhere due to everything happening around them. Spring is definitely the most beautiful.
In the season, the soft spring breeze blows across the cheeks, the green grass breaks out of the ground, and the tinkling spring water interprets the splendor of spring. However, as long as they are surrounded by love, even those children in the cattle class can still have a child.
Sunny spring..."
"The movie tells the story of how the school seemed to be covered by an airtight iron curtain under the rule of the "iron-blooded" principal. Any changes and attempts seemed not to be allowed, but Matthew carried out his work under this "system"
own exploration.
When he discovered that these children had a hobby of singing "crooked songs", he took advantage of the situation and established a choir. After being discovered, he risked losing his job and carried out an "in-system" struggle, and the results were remarkable:
When Pierre's inner love for music was aroused, he sang alone in the corner;
When the group of unruly children were captured by the music, the tame ones obeyed Matthew's command and greatly reduced their troubles and mischief;
When Pierre learned to be grateful for the first time in his life, he rejoiced because he was forgiven.
At this time, while we are feeling the magical power of music, we must also think that no matter how rebellious, willful, and seemingly hopeless children are, they actually have a key that can open the door to their hearts. The key is the educator.
Do we have this desire and do we have the patience to find this key? Matthew provides us with another angle of thinking: Can we explore to the best of our ability without being able to change the general environment?"
