It is a movie that makes people burst into tears because of joy. It tells about a talented musician Matthew, but in the French countryside in 1949, he did not have the opportunity to develop his talents, and eventually became an assistant teacher of a boys' boarding school, which had a nickname of "The Bottom of the Pool" , Because most of the students here are children with difficult problems. After arriving, Matthew found that the school principal used brutal and high-pressure methods to manage these problematic teenagers. Corporal punishment was common here. With a quiet personality, Matthew tried to improve the situation with his own methods. In his spare time, he would compose some choruses. , And to his surprise, this boarding school did not even have music lessons. He decided to use music to open the closed hearts of the students, and organized a choir so that every child could find new and valuable things. Own.


In the movie, Teacher Matthew is different from the dean. He does not punish students casually, even if the students really make him angry. On the contrary, he tends to protect the children on different occasions. However, even if he wants to punish students, he will use different methods, as if he asked Legok to take care of Father Mai instead of sending him to the principal’s office to receive physical punishment. So when we saw Legok’s own mistakes When we shed tears in the practice, we also feel the real purpose of teacher Matthew's practice.

It is undeniable that Matthew is indeed a good teacher. He always tries his best to help the children. He has no selfishness and some enthusiasm for work. In contrast, the dean’s behavior is what the dean thinks most about his own promotion and career. Especially when the dean replied that he created the choir, we clearly realized the despicability of the dean, and teacher Matthew's inconsistency also made us feel the great personality of others.
