Les Choristes

On 1 August, we had watched a French movie called Les Chorites mean The Chorus.
We were so surprise when our lecturer let us to see this movie. At the same time, we felt so relax because we can watch an interesting movie during our lhp 459 class. Although the movie is in French language, all of us enjoy the movie.

The movie is about a group of rebellious boys who came from different family background studies in a school called Fond de L’Etang. Some of them are orphan and some of them studies at the school because their family are poor and can not afford to let them to studies in a more standard school. The supervisors who work there couldn’t stand with the naughty boys. Somehow, a new supervisor called Clement Mathieu who have a passion to change the boys so that in future they will become a good person.

So, he tried to influence them to become a nice boy. He tried to find the reason whenever the boys did something is against the school rules. Besides that, he tried to help them to get rid of hard punishment whenever they break the rules. This is because the principle of the school is a strict man. His motto known as “Action to Reaction” and he treat the boys as in a military camp. Whenever the boys break the rules, he will punish them by imprison them in a dark room and did not gave them any food and drinks for few days.

This is one of the reasons Clement Mathieu want to protect the boys. He organized a choir group to train the talent in the boys especially the boy have an angel face called as Morhange. Morhange is very talented in the choir so in the end he became a successful man. So we also can learn that naughty children will change their character and attitude if the teachers have the passion to change the rebellious children. Other than that, there are loves issue consist in the story. There are few types of love such as teacher love toward students, mother love toward her son and love toward music.

It is a nice movie and it is suitable for everyone to watch it. We can learn many moral values in this story. I encourage people who have not yet see this movie quickly get this movie. It will benefit you a lot.
