came home today at 12+.... but didnt wanna make it a wednesday post ... coz i'm sure there'll be quite a wednesday post coming ... haha.... so well... 'tuned' the date and time...
Watched 'Les Choristes' today .... Splendid movie! got to watch.... however Wednesday is the last day for the movie.... its just screening for a week.... thank god i caught it..... this movie.... well... for those who are gonna miss it.... i'll say the important bits....
This teacher (Clement Mathieu) had just gotten a job at a problematic boys school as a supervision.... 'action-reaction' is the school's motto.... it is whereby violence is used to punish those who have committed wrong doings.... so him being the saint... has decided to slowly change the school's way of "teaching"--- locking students in rooms for weeks.... cleaning the school for months....
He was a musician.... he vowed never to pick up music again.... but after hearing some of the kids sing.... he decided to give it a go without permission.... after awhile.... news spread..... to the board of education or something relevant to that... they decided to go to the school and have a listen and was very impressed... well... then one day.... when the principal went for a meeting with the board of directors.... Clement Mathieu decided to bring the children out of the school as many of them longed to get out of the school and to see the world.... it was short lived.... but guessed it was worth it...
when they came back... the school was in flames.... one of the kids who was taken out from another school to this one was taken out and sent back again.... and he came back and set the dormitory on fire.... Mathieu was blamed as he was wrong in bringing the kids out leaving the school empty.... he was sacked....
while he left.... which he wasn't supposed to tell the children ...not even to say his farewell.... but somehow they always managed to find out things fast.... they locked up the room with all of them singing inside.... singing their own farewell song to Mr Mathieu as they threw paper aeroplanes with their regards and farewell....
well.... i've left a number of details out la.... but these are almost all to it...
oh yah.... forgot.... theres this lead boy ( Morhange) .... who is damn cute.... he has a face of an angel... eyes.... deep green.... he's the soloist of their songs which Mathieu constantly composes... there were visits by parents on every saturday.... but was changed to every 3rd wednesday and thursday of every month... if i remembered correctly....
Mathieu had a crush on Morhange's mum... she's a single mum... working as a waitress.... but soon she met this guy in the restaurant... and his heart was broken.... haha... quite funny la...
oh well... I MUST GET THE SOUNDTRACK .... well.... think gonna try getting the VCD/DVD and soundtrack... haha.... a must get...
well..... school's been quite drama ever since school started.... scandals ... and stuff...
today had a Clarinet MAsterclass by French Clarinetist Nicolas Baldeyrou... well.... he can play quite well... nice person.... tall... good looking.... haha.... can see pple like head over heels.... oh well... didnt really manage to learn anything new.... guess every teacher says the same things ba.... the fundamentals.... oh well....
