Hi guys, today we have to talk about our favorite movie so I'm going to talk to you about Les Choristes (The Chorus in English, Los Cristas or Los Chicos del Coro in Spanish).
Well, Les Choristes is a French movie from 2004 directed by Christophe Barratier and based on the 1945 film La Cage aux Rossignols.
The story begins when Pierre Morhange (Jacques Perrin),a successful orchestra conductor, returns to France when his mother dies.When an old friend and classmate, Pèpinot (Didier Flarmand), comes to his house, both man remember their childhood in the boarding school Fond de L'Etang -for "difficult boys"- , reading the diary written by their old music teacher Clèment Mathieu (Gèrard Jugnot) in 1949. When teacher Mathieu arrives to the school, he assembles a choir as an alternative to the authoritarian practices to discipline boys. With his teaching the children have a physical transformation and Pierre discovers his musical talent.
I have to say that my favorite part is when Mr. Mathieu lets Pierre sing in the performance of the chorus after being punished for his bad attitude.
I like the movie because it is very emotional, I like the way Mr. Mathieu finds to get close to the kids and shows them love. Oh! and the soundtrack is beautiful!
I think there is nothing I would change, I think the movie is perfect just the way it is :)
