Last night,the restaurant where she had a Children's Day meal gave her daughter a holiday gift, a ragdoll of a short-tailed monkey. Although it is not Peppa Pig, the daughter is also very happy. My daughter asked me what I liked the cartoon animals the most, and I said it was piggy too, but not Paige, his name was McDougall.
Some people say that McDougall always shares with the audience the attitude of life towards the cruel life in the most comedic way, always uses gentle innocence to get along with this hard and complex world, there is joy in the sad, whether the world is dark or colorful, depending on where your eyes fall.
Then, my eyes fell on the last shot of "McDougall Be with My Heart".
The afterglow of the setting sun poured through the glass window of the auditorium on the children who were rehearsing, accompanied by a beautiful children's chorus, and the old principal grinned intoxicatedly. The old body, the wrinkled forehead, the squinting eyes and the toothless mouth were all clumped in a golden halo, so gentle, so warm...
The story of "McDougall With My Heart" is simple: a kindergarten on the verge of bankruptcy, a choir of children, because of an old principal's years of perseverance to his dreams, participated in a fantastic concert. When the children grow up and the principal grows old, only the love and emotion of music will last forever.
"McDougall When I Am With My Heart" is not simple, the film itself is very attentive, and the great efforts made by musicians and filmmakers from both sides of the strait and three places can be seen from the dozens of children's choruses that run through the film. The hidden meaning of the film makes the viewers laugh and laugh and cry, and after crying, they laugh and walk out of the movie theater and continue to work hard.
Principle 1: Self-improvement and perseverance adhere to dreams
Springfield Flower Kindergarten is about to close due to lack of funds, and the principal holds an alumni fundraising party, but the alumni also have no power and no money, and the money raised is not enough to pay for the supper that night. However, when they sang the songs they had learned in kindergarten, in the beautiful songs, under the intoxicated expressions, all the pains of life seemed to be smoothed out.
The principal then asked Mai Du and a few other children to form the Springfield Flower Choir to participate in various commercial performances, the choir was very popular, but their performance fees were owed by the agent and all were lost, and finally the Springfield Flower Kindergarten closed. But so what?!
During this period, the principal's efforts to go to the security guard, sell roadside stalls and maintain the kindergarten were left in the hearts of the children; the unremitting persistence of the principal driving a small van school bus and carrying the piano alone to take the children around the cave allowed the children to continue to sing; the principal's selfless adherence to the children's dream of musical enlightenment touched us, and let the Springfield Flower Choir sing all the way from the hypermarket to the Golden Melody Award.
Later, the children of Springfield Flower Kindergarten grew up and became the most ordinary and ordinary group of people in the society who sold newspapers and entertained in restaurants. But the spirit of self-improvement and perseverance in their dreams is engraved into their bone marrow along with the memories of the kindergarten, becoming the support of their beautiful warmth in the cruel and hard reality, allowing them to face life with tenacity and optimism.
Point 2: Life Kisses Me with Pain I repay it with a song
The bridge section of the funeral of the world's greatest baritone in the film may have some dog blood, but it is the climax of the whole story, sublimating the feelings to the climax. From the narration of the documentary Mai Jiao, we understand that it was this silly principal who gave the bright musical life of Wheat Jiao, who was only three years old at the time, and let Wheat Jiao know that his singing voice could actually enter the kingdom of heaven. Since then, music has never left Mai Jiao.
The principal sold mai jiao's soundtrack to the gold medal manager in exchange for a few months of rent for the kindergarten, and the tireless principal finally supported the Springfield Flower Kindergarten until the graduation of the Mai Du. A few years later, the soundtrack was released by the manager worldwide to become the best-selling classical music CD-ROM in history, but McDougall and his kindergarten classmates could not find the principal's name on the genuine CD they had bought with money. Mai Du and the children sighed: This is how the world is!
Seeing our hearts awe-inspiring, helpless and depressed. Through the crack in the door of the auditorium, the old principal saw in the children's singing that the children he had led enjoyed the magnificence and beauty brought to them by music, page by page, constantly changing and never changing. We also finally understood that for the old headmaster, it didn't matter whether anyone knew that he was the musical initiator of Mai Jiao, and it didn't matter whether his name was on the Mai Jiao's original classical music CD.
Because dreams have never had anything to do with achievement, fame and fortune, and have nothing to do with glitz and vanity;
Because of adhering to the pursuit of dreams, even if it is difficult and difficult, it can also be indomitable, no regrets and no complaints;
Because of practicing the most sincere call in the heart, only one in a thousand can dream come true, and it can also be willing to be as good as food, peace and warmth.
Just like the kind and kind old principal, optimistic and positive, with a smile.
Point 3: Find innocence Look at the world from another perspective
As the film says, "It's a colorful world, it's an obscure world; it's a light world, it's a hard world." "McDougall always teaches us to look at the world in his own way, dark or colorful, depending on where your eyes fall, and even the hardest world can be wrapped in easy and soft innocence."
One day, childhood was like the sugar-fried chestnut that the wheat pocket occasionally took out and turned around, and when it spun around, I didn't know where to go. We suddenly find that the adult world is full of sharp blades, rain, snow and frost, and the wandering, loss, and confusion in life are like mountains that suppress us... And when we meet the humble Maidu, seeing the world through the perspective of the Maide, when we have the piano accompaniment in our ears, the beautiful singing is wrapped around in our hearts. Life's ups and downs, bitterness is inevitable, but there is always a bright color in McDougall's eyes.
"When we grow up, when we are happy and sad, when we hope and are disappointed, we are glad that there is always a song in our hearts and intestines, holding on, so that the hard state will not be hard into the heart, let the weakness not collapse, until this time, we really understand, thanks to the stupid principal when we were young, it is he who gave us the most precious gift in life." 」
In this way, we are always grateful, from ourselves and others. Be kind to yourself, keep a piece of innocence, be kind to others, and comfort and support each other. A smile, a greeting, a word of encouragement, a song, are all small orange lanterns on the road of life, containing infinite energy that guides us out of the trough.
Conclusion: Dreaming of the Horse The world of children's hearts
Some people are surprised, seeing The Wheat Dul can cry?
yes.
Before I completely became a narrow-minded adult, as indifferent as everyone else, saying that there was nothing to cry about, before my youth was fleeting and my tears had not yet dried, I was glad that I could still feel the unknown, impermanence and pain of life, and I could also feel the simple heroism of ordinary people, and I could also be touched by the old headmaster who had been realizing my dreams all my life and the eternally innocent McDougall.
"Man is in the wind, where the wind is going, like a fan floating in the world, every step is unknown." The nervous heart, in the distant sky, called for that, unknown song. Man in the wind, where the wind is going, praying all the way, going on all the way. The road in front of you, where you lead, the lost us, will not meet again. ”
We who were separated may never have been together again.
However, I hope that every dreamer will still truly adhere to it and be invincible;
May every innocence in life remain pure, clear and sparkling;
May every one of you be able to reunite with your lost dreams and innocence in the unknown road of the future.
Because they are the necessary skills to fight against the obscure life, they are the colorful world as far as the eye can see.
