The first movie I watched in September.
It tells the story of a little-known musician Matthew who educates a group of troubled teenagers through singing.
The story narrative of the movie is relatively simple and the technique is relatively classic. Simply stroke it.
When telling a story, you must first suppress it if you want to promote it. There is an introductory story.
The time and space of the introduction story is decades later when Pierre learned of his mother’s death during a conductor’s concert. After attending his mother’s funeral, he met Pepino.
Pepino brought the diary of his teacher Matthew and gave it to Pierre. Pierre opened the diary, thus opening the narrative of the main story. Typical flashback.
The main story is mainly a linear narrative. When Matthew was sent to school, he was teased by children and unexpectedly discovered that the children liked to sing crooked songs, so he came up with the idea of ????using music and singing to transform the children. After all kinds of hardships, he accidentally discovered the singing genius Pierre.
The climax is when the countess wants to hear the choir performance, and the final ending is that Matthew was fired by the principal because he took the children out to play, causing the school to be set on fire by Mengdan.
At this point in the main story, the diary has been read, and we return to the time and space of the introductory story. Pepino continues to tell the subsequent stories that were not written in Matthew's diary.
The clever arrangement of the story is that at the end, Pepino is adopted by Matthew, which perfectly connects the logical circuit of the entire story. A closed loop is formed.
That’s why Pepino went to Pierre at the beginning of the movie and gave the diary to Pierre according to Matthew’s last wish. The head and tail echo each other, perfect.
After telling the story line, let’s talk about something else.
Overall, this is a very good movie. Matthew uses music to bring freedom and love to children's hearts.
In fact, most people in this world are like Matthew. Ordinary, unknown for the rest of his life. Come quietly and leave silently.
If you can bring love and warmth to others for some time in your life, and make the world look better at that moment, it is worth it.
Finally, let’s talk about imagery. Whether it is the paper airplane flying out of the window or the kite that appears many times in the song, it is a metaphor for the children's desire to fly freely.
Even layers of high walls and high-pressure discipline cannot contain the free hearts of children who long for love and beauty.
