A good movie must not only have beautiful pictures and moving background music, but also present courage, love, ideals or creations about life.
Today's teachers highly recommend 5 high-quality English movies to their friends, so that children can not only get relief of stress and pleasure after watching, but also get an inspiration. Let's take a look
1. Lost and found
Suitable age: 4 years +
Duration: 24min
Douban movie rating: 9.0
Recommended reason: a harbor town full of autumn leaves, a lonely little penguin wandering on an empty street. Hungry, undepended, it wandered aimlessly into a boy's house. The little penguin seems to be quite interested in the boy's tape recorder, and the boy is a little helpless, so he can only send it to the lost and found office, but no one has ever lost the little penguin.
The penguins become a burden to the boys, and after several twists and turns, the boys learn that the little penguins are all grown in Antarctica. So he made a small wooden boat and embarked on a journey home to Antarctica with penguins...
This is an animated film based on the children's picture book of the same name, which tells a sincere and colorful friendship story. I firmly believe that 4-5-year-old children will be deeply touched, they have passed the most unfamiliar period in kindergarten, have their own best friends, and are exploring the boundaries and letters of friendship.
2. Revolting Rhymes
Duration: 56min
Douban movie rating: 8.7 points
Recommended reason: Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Cinderella, and the three little pigs are all fairy tale characters that children are familiar with, when these characters are combined and appear in the same small story, what strange things will happen?
This short film animation that won the 90th Academy Awards brought Tong Yao into the color of "rebellion", but there was no unrealistic imagination, nor did it frighten the child's bad taste, but Little Red Riding Hood was no longer weak, the prince may also lose it, and there was a lot of humor and ridicule in the movie. Perhaps fairy tales could have been less stereotypical.
3、Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron（小马王）
Suitable age: 5 years +
Full film: 83min
Douban movie rating: 8.6 points
Why: It's a film about love and freedom that was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the 75th Academy Awards. The film tells a small story of a pony king who is full of longing for freedom, masculine, and very naughty and kind.
In the vast western United States, the sympathetic Little Indian boy Brook rescues The Spirant, who has been taken as a war horse, from the summer camp and takes him back to his tribe.
The movie will always exhort people to get along with small animals, and not to drive them to do whatever they can't do with a high-minded attitude, otherwise they can only resist.
4. Mr. Holland's Opus
Duration: 143min
Douban Film Review: 8.5 points
Recommended reasons:
The film tells the story of a music teacher. He had always wanted to write an outstanding work, but he could not do so because of his life and teaching. But when it was time to retire, he realized that his most outstanding work was to help many students step into the right path of life.
A person's life is a work, a grand work constructed from different movements. In fact, everyone is the same, life seems so ordinary and simple, until the end of life, if you have fought hard, have had an impact on others, then your life is a complete and outstanding work...
This is a film for parents and children, and it is especially suitable for parents, because this film can tell us how to educate children.
5. Dr. Seuss' Horton HearsaWho
Full film: 86min
Douban movie rating: 7.8 points
Why: This is a film about trust, duty, tolerance and friendship, and the story is about a baby elephant whose full name is Horton, who vows to die to defend the right to live of a group of residents living on a grain of dust.
There are two classic lines in it that are impressive and basically represent what the film wants to express: Persons are person, no matter how small. I meant what I said, and I said what I meant.
