Comarts 135 31 March 2012 The wind blows strongly, whistling through the tall pines with countless snows whirling in the air. Under the pale hazy sky, wandering cows are driven by men and women in thick winter coats. Once inside, through the clear window, you see the cold, severe snowstorm. Different from the atrocious outside, inside the classroom, there is a safe, warm and peaceful world. Yellow chairs have been lifted up orderly on the tables; One turtle crawls along the floor and explores this little world, a moment later, another comes across and joins him.
As we hear the soft and sweet melody of a flute, branches covered with snow sway violently in the wind. On the narrow country road between those great trees, an old white van jogs along to pick up every child at each house. The destination is a school which only has one classroom and one teacher. Children jump off the van and walk into the school, leaving trails of little footprints. “Morning, sir!” every child greets the teacher standing at the door. And here the story starts. It is a French documentary movie about the life of one old teacher and children of different ages in an isolated town away from the noisy world. The movie doesn’t apply any fantastic special effects and the camera shots are simple and real. It is the plain and pure shots that make the movie To Be and To Have different and why catches audiences’ heart.
Just as the beautiful countryside landscape doesn’t need any further decoration, the teacher’s kindness and affability is sincere. He is an impressive person with a grizzled beard and rimless glasses, an old fatherly man looking like Jean Reno, kind and gentle. Even though he looks a little bit serious in his black sweater, he is never really angry with children. It seems that he has endless patience and enthusiasm. Even though there is one kid who always forgets the number after six, the teacher just sighs faintly, looks at the child’s eyes softly and asks again, without any complaint and intolerance. Even though there are some conflicts and fighting, he lets them put themselves in others’ shoes and make them conscious of their mistakes. He teaches them how to draw and how to read; he teaches them how to make pancakes; he celebrates their birthdays; he holds up umbrellas for them on a rainy day; he grades their homework in the quiet yellow light of the lamp at night; he talks with some children and encourages them; he says that they should help each other in the future. Indisputably, he is a good enlighted teacher, who treats his students with incredible care and patience. He enjoys being a teacher and spending time with children just as those children enjoy their time with him.
More than a teacher, he is also their close friend. In the winter, they go snowboarding on a slope covered with thick snow where the freezing air is filled with joyous laughter. In the early spring, with the crisp rhythmic music, cars drive through the fields in green and yellow stripes to visit a middle school where some big students will attend next year. After a hasty drenching rain, the summer comes and they take the train to have a picnic in the countryside. The cicadas start to sing in the fresh green trees. Branches wave in the breeze. Pieces of paper on the desks seem to fly in the air. Chugga, chugga, the train bawls and hurtles through the forests. Kids look at the nature outside, playing with the flickering light and a horse toy. They sit and eat in the shade of a big tree. They look for a girl who is lost in the green bristlegrass. The camera doesn’t move too much and the shots are quiet, as the same height as those kids, to capture their eyes as well as their beautiful spirits.
In the end, children leave the class happily for the summer vacation. They kiss the teacher and say goodbye. After every kid leaves, the teacher usually equipped give people a strong sense of reliance sighs and looks out somewhere deeply, depressed in the heartbroken silence. It is a classroom that has turtles, goldfishes and vibrant plants, a classroom that has pictures of numbers, letters and self-portraits of Van Gogh, a classroom that has a quiet bear sitting in the corner, a classroom that has three tables and some innocent cute children, a classroom that he has been with for 20 years, but not anymore in the future. The mows have already been rolled standing in the field. The time passes and the seasons change, leaving an endless memory and missing.
朱利安算乘法那段真是太搞笑了,哈哈!这样的纪录片很好啊!乔治老师,平凡却伟大!
8.0/10。法国某村庄一小学的一个学年:学生们(与他们唯一的老师)充满温情与清新的各种日常生活与互动。影片在生活流电影/直接电影(朴素的影像质感、极少画外配乐、零旁白、松散的叙事结构等)与传统故事片(剪辑语法、对戏剧性的相对倚重等)两种影调间割裂徘徊。
老师真好,小朋友真纯。
可爱平淡的一群小孩。
慢调调的温情纪录片
看这电影时还不知道avoir什么意思呢
勉强及格。法国乡村教师的分层班。大部分内容其实无用,额外拍的两个孩子里,男孩是在调节戏展现了有侵犯性的领袖感,跟拍的好。此外乡村牛场、教小孩不准动手的束缚其实隐着人类社会可疑的恶,但未展开谈。结尾有提升,即将退休的老师和升学的孩子,在暑假做最后的告别,有《爱的教育》的意思了
纪录与写实
Be & Have !中文翻譯稍微有點zuo啦。簡單的紀錄片,沒有刻意的編排卻有最多最豐富的情節。生活本身,簡單安靜,雖然是抽取的典型案例。算術語文攤餅洗手道歉,他們學這些。據說“存在”和“擁有”是法國孩子進入學堂最初所學的兩個單詞,這兩個詞也是一切法語動詞變位的基礎,象徵着人類學習的啓蒙。
泪奔了,成长是件多么难的事啊…像乌龟爬啊爬啊,探头探脑,一步一步地。好的镜头就等同于一位好的老师,会懂得约束自己的权力,它耐心地看,小心地表扬或评判,平等对待每个被拍摄的个体。它不是监控,悬在教室上头,刺探每个被摄对象的疏漏和错误。它让教室成为庇护所,它走近、停留和沟通,以致更重要地,引导被拍摄的人,与被拍摄的人相互学习。老师教育、送走一批又一批孩子,镜头同样见证成长,教我们何以为人。
“在他威严的外表下有一种极深的关怀,细致和谨慎。”
我只看了能看的仅有的一小段,只想说。我希望我也能成为他那样的老师,有耐心,细心,善心。
三星半。只有我看到镜头后隐藏的东西了吗?没有人察觉到违和感?
当你看到两只一大一小慢爬的乌龟时。
不可多得
