《放牛班的春天》英文观后感

I believe that, at the very beginning, everyone was sure that one day his dream would come true by perseverance. However, with growing up, things are going to be more difficult and complex. Sometimes, when you are coming to the fork of a road, the light at the end of a tunnel lost. Then, people no longer have accesses to achieve what they wanted before. It is true for both the real life and the life in the movie Les Choristes. While, difficulties never stop brave guys seeking the true, the good and the beauty. To me, I always believe the beauty of glorious ideals and elevated minds. Clement Mathieu was a musician with super talent, while it lacks scope for his ability since he was in French rural areas. One day, Mathieu who failed to achieve his amb ition, came to a school regarded as “the bottom of a pool” and found that boys living there have kinds of problems. To make matter worse, the headmaster was very indifferent. He was used to abuse his right to use corporal punishment frequently. Monsieur Mathieu began to try to change the situation. But, all of his ways turn out useless. Finally, he turned to the music. He has found that those boys are interested in singing something, good or bad,or funny or relaxing. They just love singing. So he began to train them with professional method. I have to say that it really is an amazing choir—Boys sing beautiful and bright songs written by Monsieur Mathieu; they also managed to perform those songs perfectly. Boys’ hearts seemed to be melted and purified by the power of music as well as Monsieur Mathieu’s patience. Change was in the air of this “bottom of a pool”, and it was just a question of when. Everything seemed so hopeful again. In the end, unfortunately, Monsieur Mathieu was fired by the mean headmaster in the name of an accident. On his way of leaving, there were lots of paper planes free falling from the window of classroom. They were from those boys. Even though there were no names on paper planes, our dear teacher knew exactly who did that. At the same time, boys locked the angry headmaster out of the door and sang their song to say goodbye to their teacher. Therefore, I think it is the true essence of education as well as the true meaning of life. Can we say that?

As for me, there is still someone like Monsieur Mathieu I really appreciate. They are teachers in my high school. Of course, they needn’t rescue me from troubles as bad as those in the movie. But they actually taught me many crucial things—how to think, how to adhere to my principles and what kind of values I should keep. Conspicuously, spiritual guides for a teenager who were almost lost are definitely great.

Then, I guess this kind of good education is life-giving spring breeze and rain. Besides, the beautiful heart stands for brilliance of humanity. No matter how dark the situation is, the great heart will always decorate the world and make lives different.
