Les Choristes

i watched les choristes yesterday on arts central. its about this very patient school teacher who got transferred to the orphanage, Fond de L'Etang. the students were taught discipline there with an iron fist, so they are actually very rebellious, especially one Pierre Morhange, an angelic face with the spite of the devil.

although very rebellious, Morhange came to become the solo soprano in the choir, illegally formed by the teacher, Mathieu. eventually they got so good, the orphanage's benefactresses managed to recommend the despicable principal for decoration from the board of educators. but he eventually did not manage to get the decoration as the orphanage got burnt down and Mathieu got fired.

its a really great and touching movie. its in french and the songs sung are all really touching and beautiful.

i really recommend this to the sentimental, those who love great music and the arty farty crowd.
