Chapter 1582: Heal the soul and find the spring of life
In fact, many people don't understand why the movie is called "Spring of the Cowherd Class"!
However, there is no need for Li Yi to popularize this kind of thing. Film critics will soon explain it to the audience.
""Spring of the Cowherd Class"" Many people may mistakenly think that this is a very country-style movie when they see the title. In fact, this is not the case. The term "Cowherder Class" is derived from a description of Baodao.
The term used by teachers to give up the class of poor students is what we often call "the tail end of the crane".
With this explanation, everyone should understand that it is not a story about a group of children herding cattle, but a story about a group of children who have been abandoned by teachers, parents, and society. "Spring" here is not just a simple season.
It is nothing more than a beautiful sustenance with symbolic meaning. In a sense, the spring of the cattle herding class actually means that those children who have been given up by their teachers can also have a bright future in their lives.
In fact, this is not the foreign name of the film. The literal translation of the film's original title is "Chorus". Everyone should understand after seeing this that this is destined to be a film that is inseparable from music and singing.
Different from other films, every scene and every picture in "Spring of the Cowherd" tells a story about "love". Love is the greatest power, love is the most powerful weapon, and love can soften everyone.
A stiff cheek, love can touch every indifferent heart.
The film uses flashback techniques to start decades later, allowing us to know the ending of the story in advance: someone has become an excellent conductor. This is a story that foretells spring in advance on a winter night. We follow a diary to
Explore stories from many years ago, and discover the story of how a music teacher used love to influence problem children.
In the development of the film, we will see many "problem children", but are they really stubborn bad boys? That's not the case. Many people just lack care when they grow up. There is no real cure.
There are very few children who can be saved. Most of them are lonely children who have not received the love of their parents and do not know how to get the love of their parents. And the teacher Matthew in the film uses a heart full of love.
Only by treating others sincerely with love can we truly receive loving feedback.
There is a character of a physical education teacher in the film who looks like someone who hates children at first, and says to Teacher Matthew, "You can't change them. They are just the way they are. You will know it after you have been in contact with them for a long time."
In fact, as the film develops, we can also see that the physical education teacher is actually a person who likes children very much. When the principal Ha Bin is abusing the children, he will secretly give the children hot baths using the reserved firewood to boil water. Yes.
When he stayed to guard the school, he and Teacher Matthew secretly gave the children a holiday, and it was also because of this that he finally escaped with the children.
In the film, there are also children who set fire to the school because they were not forgiven (of course, some people say that it was not Mengdan who set the fire). Of course we cannot say that this behavior is correct, but at the same time we should also be aware that such
The behavior is avoidable, and the source of the fault does not lie with the child, but with those who use stereotypes to define the child.
The principal, some teachers, and even the child's family. When we look at things with stereotypes, it is difficult to find the shining point of a person, but no one is the same in this world, "Spring of the Cowherd Class"
This is such a story that gives people opportunities. Teacher Matthew reaches out to the children, uses music to pull the children out of the swamp, and guides them onto the right path of life.
Sometimes, what they lack is just an opportunity, or a forgiveness, or a word of concern, that's all.
At the end of the film, we can see the fact that not everyone has become a great person, an internationally renowned conductor, and a person who can leave a mark on the world, but everyone has become a "
"Good person" becomes a "person".
This seems to be something we should take for granted, but it has become a difficult problem in our lives. How to be a good person, a person with a clear conscience, and how to be a person who does not live against his own conscience. Today
In this society, how can we really achieve the example sentence in the Xinhua Dictionary in 1998: "Li Ming was admitted to Beijing University, Zhang Ping entered a secondary technical school, and I worked as a salesperson in a department store: we all have a bright future."
In fact, "Spring in the Cowherd Class" also truly conveys this concept to everyone. There can be many kinds of spring in life. We do not use how great a person's achievements are to define the success of this person's life, but the success of this person.
Do you live with a clear conscience?
The movie does not explain what happened to the other students in the end, but from Pierre and Pepino, we can see that they may not have achieved any high achievements, let alone become "great" musicians, but they have
At least, they have become "people" from all walks of life!
Including Meng Dan! In fact, this child is the most typical, because the movie does not explain who set the fire, but the lens language gives people the feeling that it was him.
So what will be his future? We don’t know, but I think the smile he gave Matthew can actually explain a lot.
Compared with the real world, "Spring of the Cowherd" is more like a fairy tale. Whether it is the overall tone of the film, the beautiful songs interspersed in it, or the character settings that are either good or evil, these are not like a fairy tale.
It is something that exists in the real world. It is not accidental that the name of the boarding school is translated into the word "pond bottom". These problem teenagers seem to be living at the bottom of the pond, unable to find a way out in life and abandoned by their parents.
Abandoned by society, if it had not been for the appearance of Teacher Matthew, most people would have led a rough and bumpy life and would not have been able to become an upright person.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! After watching the film, people will say that they are grateful for the appearance of Teacher Matthew for saving the lives of so many children, but we also have to admit that in the real world, there are many, many
Tangdi School, but there is rarely a teacher Matthew who saves these children with love. In other words, if the real world is a place where only love can save, then a lot of pain will definitely dissipate faster.
.
Generally speaking, "Spring of the Cowherd Class" is indeed a movie that can bring everyone a bit of comfort. It is precisely because of its tendency to have a fairy tale ending that the audience can feel the same when watching the movie.
It’s more of a sense of relief that you can’t feel in real life.
Movies sometimes need to play such a social role in guiding real life. We see an illusory truth, goodness and beauty, so we hope to extend these good qualities into real life. If "The Cowherd Class"
"Spring" can bring you such a touch, so please bring the same touch to the people around you in your life, in this spring."
Of course, different people have different feelings and interpretations of movies.
Some people also think that this is actually a movie about dreams, freedom, rebellion, and persistence!
"After watching "Spring in the Cowherd Class", many people will always praise Teacher Matthew, as if he is the only attraction in the movie.
But I want to say that what I saw was actually a movie about dreams, freedom, rebellion, madness, and persistence.
A person can have no dreams, but he can never be without persistence. Being obsessed with what you should be obsessed with, and obsessed with what you want to be obsessed with, in fact, this is also a kind of happiness and satisfaction in a substantial sense.
After watching this film, I have a new definition of "persistence". The power of persistence is like the power of dreams. The drive of this power gives us the meaning of life and the courage to survive.
First of all, Matthew’s persistence. Matthew’s persistence in music kept him from giving up the pursuit of music and rekindled his hope in life.
It is music and children that keep him optimistic, open-minded, kind and innocent at all times. As long as he sees the serious and longing faces of the children, and the young and pure singing of the children echoes in his ears, for him, this is a lifetime
Unforgettable tenderness.
Yes, many of us have seen that it was Matthew who saved the children’s dreams, but it’s not the children who inspired Matthew’s musical dreams?
Let Matthew, who once swore never to touch a piece of music again, pick up the pen again and compose beautiful music.
From the beginning to the end of the movie, my heart kept turbulent. It has been a long time since I had such a surging feeling. I am glad that I calmed down and watched this movie at this time, because it inspired me and helped me see the way forward.
What impressed me most was the subtitles at the end of the film that read: Clement Mathieu continued to give music lessons to others until his death, never trying to make a name for himself.
Matthew's diary records this sentence: My name is Clement Matthew, a failed musician and an unemployed school superintendent.
In fact, I think he did not fail. On the contrary, he was proud of his success. His success did not lie in fame, but in his persistence and never giving up.
After becoming the superintendent of a boarding school, he did not give up on his dream. Instead, he used his sincerity and dedication to music to infect the children in the "quagmire" and help them find the direction of life again.
The children at the "bottom of the pond" are resentful of the world, indifferent to family ties, disappointed with society, confused about the future, coupled with their twisted will, abnormal demeanor, and bad behavior, all of which are captured by Matthew's music
Little by little it is diluted, dissolved, and faded, and all that remains is the infinite desire for understanding and freedom.
Remember Matthew’s first class where he asked students to write down their dreams?
In fact, many of us have experienced it before, but in comparison, it was probably the first time for the children in the movie that a teacher asked them to write such "luxury" things.
Dream? Before Matthew arrived, they could only bury it deep in their hearts, or no one would think that this group of children in the "cattle class" deserved the so-called dream.
When Matthew asked Corban what he stole the money for, he whispered: hot air balloon.
Hot air balloon, that is the image of freedom;
In class, the children held their cheeks and looked out the window at the clear blue sky.
Clear sky, that is the image of freedom;
During the short activity time, they carefully released paper airplanes one after another.
Paper airplane, that is the image of freedom;
The music I practice every day is about the night and kites.
Kite, that is the image of freedom.
The cruel and cold nursing home imprisoned their weak bodies, but it could not restrain their wandering souls. The singing songs floating in the wind took the children's souls to a distant place, where there was affection, love, understanding, redemption, and them.
Persistent music and freedom.
Dreams always seem so small in the face of reality. Only in the realm of consciousness are giants walking freely.
When dreams are cut into pieces by the sharp edge of reality, when we are no longer able to do anything, no matter how unwilling we are, we still have no choice but to give in and give up.
Nowadays, we may not need to stick to those vain and flashy dreams. Even if the dreams cannot be realized, at least we still have the power to persevere in our dreams, just like Matthew used his sincerity and persistence to persevere in music.
On the road to reality, Matthew's dream of becoming a musician is getting further and further away, but he still insists on his own music creation and has received countless heart tremors. His strong hands are not holding those vain things.
The desolation, but the sincere and innocent hearts of the children.
When Matthew was dismissed and left, the paper airplanes flying in the sky, the childish handwriting of the children, and the songs that touched his heart were all moved from the deepest part of his heart, enough for him to spend the rest of his time remembering and commemorating.
At the end of the story, Matthew took Pepino away, and Pepino, who had been waiting persistently every Saturday, finally waited until the day he left with a smile.
This is indeed a movie that makes people cry with joy. The movie does not have violence, stars, action, murder and commercial elements, but such a "Cowherder's Spring" has become chicken soup for the souls of countless filmmakers.
I don’t know since when did Chicken Soup for the Soul become a term that people ridiculed? Isn’t this a sad thing?
The film has ended, but the children's songs are still echoing in my ears, and the excitement in my heart is still raging.
If Li Yi's "Cinema Paradiso" is a filmmaker's love letter to movies, then "Spring in the Cowherd Class" is a beautiful and lyrical hymn to humanity!
The sound of nature is still circulating in our ears, and the charm of music is vividly displayed here. Although we may not understand what is sung in the song, it does not prevent us from reliving the sound of nature over and over again.
In general, music that can heal the soul!
At the end of the diary, Mr. Matthew recorded that he was a washed-up musician and an unemployed substitute teacher. Did he ever know that he had brought spiritual spring to sixty children and brought spiritual sweet spring to the audience?
The music inside was so beautiful, I felt like I was being redeemed. With this music, I opened the curtains that were as wide as the wall, and the drizzle of light rain outside followed suit.
