Movies all over the world, as well as cultures all over the world, have been overwhelmed by the pressure of the United States. Among them, France, a western cultural power that once saved the world movies in the 20th century, suffered the most. At the end of the 20th century, it was like being castrated, struggling incessantly, imitating Hollywood, or influenced by American tastes, losing appetite and eating nothing. The end of last century was a nightmare for French films.
Everyone hopes that French movies will suddenly wake up and get out of the shadow of Hollywood. If this hope has been flashing, or "Cowboy Spring" is one of them, we certainly hope that this bright hope can illuminate the road of French film and get out of the road of French civilization.
I like that dignified style very much. Because of the vicissitudes of life, the two old people recalled their childhood with a calm mood. Clement went to a school as an inspector. There is a little boy in the iron gate, looking out. Clement asked, "Who are you waiting for?" ..... Perhaps this kind of emotional appeal is both familiar and fresh in the audience's mind. When I first entered this school, it looked more like a ghost castle. The headmaster is a greedy, selfish and mean person who punishes students at will. Teachers and students are almost enemies. However, the arrival of music-filled academic supervisor Clement will change all this.
"I sing, you sing, he sings ... The film" Spring of Cowboy Class "is like a thunder, which makes the French chorus industry flourish like mushrooms after rain. Today, hundreds of thousands of chorus amateurs of all ages have gathered. " This is a comment from France.
I like watching French movies because they are warm and as human as French food. Unlike Hollywood in the United States, they always play themselves as missionaries and spread their values anytime and anywhere, just like the gesture of savior. Since film culture has become an industry, it is conceivable that the day when this culture dominates human civilization is also a day when human beings are brainwashed by machinery. Even children are sucking milk artificially with Hollywood expression, which is unhealthy.
Inscription: There may be humble people in this world, but there is no humble emotion.
Perhaps no one knows that on the outskirts of a small town in France, there is such a juvenile control school full of violence, terror and strict calendar through a long and quiet path surrounded by buttonwood trees. There are a group of ignorant, indifferent, savage and ignorant children living here. They are teenagers' problems, leaving parents helpless and teachers worried. No one will care about the naive dreams of these immature hearts: generals, hot air balloon pilots, architects ... rigid principals can only punish them with violence on the principle of "offenders must be punished" The former class teacher had no choice but to transfer to another school. However, Matu, who is recognized as having accomplished nothing, came, so the "little spring" of Niu Ban came to every child's heart. Their dreams gradually began to sprout.
Yes, it is such a humble "frustrated musician and unemployed teacher" recognized by the secular world that brings vitality to the "Cowherd Class". The film reflects Matu's "kindness, tolerance and patience" as an educator from the laughter and abuse of naughty children. He tamed a group of unruly hearts like bison with beating notes, and let them feel the warmth of sunshine and the breath of spring. ...
Influenced by the plot, we can also learn some psychological knowledge from it. ...
Will this group of problem of juvenile concentrated forcibly locked in such an isolated environment. The iron gate imprisoned their spiritual world. From then on, you can only see four corners of the sky surrounded by high walls. If you don't feel love and respect, don't be attached. If you commit a crime, you can only use a whip and imprisonment. The dusty heart began to distort. There is an aggressive child here, represented by Li, who injured Lao Mai. There are also children represented by Pipino, who are withdrawn and even depressed because of losing their parents and lack of attachment; The most noteworthy is Moran, who is a headache for single mothers. She is very talented in music, but she has strong self-esteem and is quite sensitive.
For enterprising children like Li and Dandong. Matu didn't hand them over to the headmaster for corporal punishment. He sent Li to look after the old wheat wounded by him. Let him realize the fragility of life and the consequences of his impulsive behavior. "He is a shy boy, as shy as I am, and he already knows that he is wrong." Lao Mai influenced Li in such a loving and tolerant way. When Li Yidu looked at Lao Mai from a distance like all children who made mistakes, he was frightened and asked Matu, "Will he die?" Matu stroked his head "no! The doctor will save him, "in such a tolerant tone to eliminate his inner anxiety.
As for a stubborn teenager like Dandong, Matu also tried his best to save him. When Dandong was punished, Matu tried to stop "Wait a minute, he is my only bass!" " " ……
Contrary to aggressive behavior, Ma Yingxi cares about Pipino as much as his father, and Pipino is depressed and even a little shy because of his lack of attachment since childhood. He never talks about his ideals or sings. But unexpectedly, he was elected as the vice president of the choir. Let him gradually feel the joy of collective activities and the power of love, and let Pi Nuo get rid of the shadow of misfortune.
The focus of the whole movie is Moran who finally becomes a musician. It was once called "angel's face, devil's heart" by the upper class teacher. He was raised by a single mother. Unlike other children, he is more self-respecting and sensitive. Matu realized the hardships of this single mother and the waywardness of this child. On the one hand, he tried to protect Moran's self-esteem with white lies in front of his mother under the guise of "filling his teeth", on the other hand, he risked offending the principal to let Moran come out to visit his mother and trusted him very much. I discovered his solo talent and actively cultivated it. Especially when Moran threw the ink bottle at him, he still comforted his disappointed mother with tolerance. On the other hand, by canceling Moran's solo qualification, let him understand that if you want to be respected by others, you must first respect others. Especially on the day of performing for the Countess, Matu fully affirmed Morang again, and finally influenced this "little bison".
I remember that when Mr. Liu Tiefang wrote Principles of Education in the first semester of his freshman year, he particularly emphasized that "everyone is a complete world and should be respected, and existence is valuable". Matu put forward three conditions when accepting the principal's task: first, no corporal punishment of students; Second, let me punish those students who commit crimes; Third, don't reveal their names. All these reflect his concern for the humanity of young people.
Matu was not angry when he heard the naughty boy singing "Old Bald, Old Bald …" in a sarcastic tone. He once recorded in his diary: "I can't forget that song, but I sang it after all." So he took music activities as the main means to adjust children's bad psychological quality. Every note is like a lively spirit "sneaking into the night with the wind, moistening things silently", and finally realizing the turning point of the soul. Lin Chongde's book Developmental Psychology mentioned that children's memories will be the most profound if they are accompanied by emotional processes. Organizing a choir is a small activity to make children's minds clear in activities and games. This corrective education model attaches great importance to experience, and personal experience is no longer a simple cognitive level.
With the memory of the past years, listening to the melodious songs like nature, when the smart notes touch the depths of the soul. It suddenly occurred to me that Emerson, an American poet, once said, "The most beautiful song in the world is one that has not been sung." Yes, maybe no matter how humble a person is, it doesn't mean he can't have good feelings. ...
So, I also wrote the song in my heart. ...
Spring is like a transient migratory bird.
Suddenly flew away.
Didn't you leave anything behind
When the flowers fell, we began to sing together.
When the flowers stop falling, we will continue to sing.
No cloud wants to go home with him.
He was afraid to ask them why.
In the wind of the four seasons
He is like a believer.
Fly all the way
Have dreams all the way.
Destined to be unusual
He is no longer a lonely singer!
Meeting is a kind of happiness-the spring of cowboy class
The temperature has begun to become very low, and the humid air in the south makes the chill penetrate into the skin, but I was dragged to the street stall with a knife to eat midnight snack on such a cold night. All the people sitting at the same table are his junior high school friends, such as roast goose, radish and Sanmao. Each of them graduated from a work-study school.
At that time, all the students who were sent to the reform school were problem students. This is how we define restless students in school. Many years later, I sat at the same table with them for dinner. I can't see the initial arrogance from everyone's face, only the helplessness of being wasted by life. It is only when I occasionally talk about the prestige of my student days that I show my rare high spirits. Life or society makes everyone look bad. If you can, you can start a small business to make a living, not to mention success in life, just like being forgotten in the north wind.
I lit a cigarette for everyone, and the dim light lit up every dusty face, thinking that this is real life, and that is just a good movie. "Spring in Cowboy Class" touched most people, because this is the charm of film art. A good film can move people, because there are things in the film that we can't get in reality, such as a teacher who can guide your life or a bole.
Kermont is a bald teacher. He is not handsome, but he is not bad. He obeys the system, but he can do his best for the children under the system. He likes music, so he began to use music to educate teenagers. Art does have its own charm, but respect also plays a decisive role. In such a boarding school called "the bottom of the pond", he changed something with his gentle style, and the opposition between teachers and students in the whole school slowly dissipated. Except for the rigid headmaster, didn't his cold and lifeless heart loosen at some moment? This boarding school, that is, our work-study school in China, is also full of a large group of problem children, but I saw the warm Camont in the movie and the faces I had never met in the work-study school.
Bole is not for everyone, nor is everyone a great teacher.
This is what life tells us. Such work-study schools and boarding schools can be found everywhere, and such problem children can be found everywhere. However, there may be more teachers in such schools who are naturally disgusted with problem students, while there are few in Comonte. So we will be moved, and will be moved by Spring in Cowboy Class, because it gives us a touch that is hard to get in reality, and makes our lost hearts get comfort when watching movies.
You can try to influence the lost lamb with love, otherwise it will only push the lost lamb to the extreme, and the wronged child Meng Dan will eventually return it to the boarding school in the same extreme way. It is not only the school buildings that are damaged, but also the broken hearts of children, which is the result of fighting violence with violence. Kemeng is not a saint. He can't stand his own truth. He is just an unsuccessful nobody who does everything he can. When his short figure turned away, we all felt helpless and desolate.
Jacques perrin, a household name, has made outstanding achievements in both roles of actor and director. He made Spring of the Cowherd almost another paradise cinema, worked as a producer in two films, and played the role of a reminiscer in the almost identical opening of the two films, the musician in Spring of the Cowherd and the director in Paradise Cinema. However, due to the existence of "Paradise Cinema", it is inevitable that such a good film as "Spring of Cowboy Class" will fall behind and miss the classics. Similarly, I personally think that there are still some shortcomings in the film, mainly because the students' emotional exposure to Mr. Comonte is not enough. Especially as Mo Hangzhi, his life has changed because of Comonte, but it seems that he and Mr. Comonte have always paid too little attention to each other's feelings.
Movies about the love between teachers and students have always been very touching, whether it's Good Will Hunting, Dead Poets Society or Life is Beautiful Because of You, even the funny rock campus can move people. However, French movies are so different from American movies. His grandstanding always accumulates in dullness, which makes everything sublimate in the last place, and it can still make people feel uncomfortable after the end. And Spring in Cowboy Class can really do this.
The movie is romantic and idealistic, but it is very popular.
Because every child is eager to meet such a teacher in his life, such a person who helps him the most. It is a kind of happiness to meet. Although this kind of happiness seems so extravagant in reality, we still yearn for it.
