Les Choristes is a heart-warming French film. The film tells the story of music teacher Clement Mathieu and his students. Musician Clement Mathieu arrives at an old boarding school to work as a music teacher for troubled boys. He feels like a failure. The middle-aged man has mixed feelings about how long he can last as a teacher for these boys. Rachin, the headmaster, is another unsuccessful man. He shows his dissatisfaction by punishing those students who are difficult to control.
It isn't long before Mathieu finds that some of the boys can sing. So he organizes a choir (合唱团) and has them sing musical pieces he has written.
Pierre is known in the school as a trouble-maker. But Mathieu sees that the boy has a great talent for singing, and then invites him to join the choir. This makes the boy's mom very happy, who is often upset about her boy's trouble at school. Moreover, Mathieu cares very much about his students. Pepinot is a boy who lost his parents. He is often treated poorly by other boys. It is Mathieu who gives him the affection, which makes him feel loved by people around.
Les Choristes was a huge hit in France and was chosen as the French entry (参赛作品) in the Oscar Awards (奥斯卡) for Best Foreign Language Film of 2005. Christophe Barratier, the film’s director, said he hoped that the film could show the healing power (治愈力) of music and the big difference good teachers
