弦动我心

       罗贝塔作为一个传统的女性，在过去的人生里一直随着在海军服役的丈夫四处奔波，已毫无个人事业可言。在罗贝塔的世界里丈夫和孩子就是她生命的一切意义所在，为此，她不断妥协，甚至甘愿放弃音乐的梦想。
    可是生活中，付出和收获并不总能成正比，当她不再年轻，孩子尚且年幼，毫无社会地位的时候，她的丈夫却和她的好朋友背叛了她，并远走高飞。她变成了一个可怜的单身母亲。影片开头的时候我们不难看出，此时的罗贝塔憔悴而又狼狈，原先所有的一切，包括安定的家庭都化为了泡影，她必须自食其力养育两个尚且年幼的孩子。
    于是，她不顾母亲的反对来到全国最乱的纽约东哈林区。除了资质、韧性和往日攒下的50把小提琴外，她已一无所有，教孩子们拉琴成了她谋生的惟一选择，但来自各方的怀疑让她苦恼。在生活无情的打击下，罗贝塔一次次地萎靡，然后再一次次地站起来。
    一开始，她的父母、孩子和学校的校长都对她很怀疑，但她以极大的热情投入到教学中，她特立独行的上课方式受到孩子们的喜爱，真挚的话语赢得了家长的信任，出色的工作表现为学校所接受。
    她给那些家境贫苦、生活不安定、受到种族歧视的孩子带去了希望的种子，至少在音乐面前，在罗贝塔面前，他们是平等的。我惊喜地注意到那些原本聒噪顽劣的孩子慢慢地在罗贝塔的爱里变得乖顺和神采飞扬。与此同时，一度跌入生活谷底的罗贝塔也获得了重生，摆脱了过去生活的阴影，实现了自我价值。
    罗贝塔这个角色之所以感动我，不是因为她是多么的非凡卓越，她的动人之处恰恰是在于她的平凡，罗贝塔是个平实的角色，和我们所有人都一样，没有放大，也没有缩小。她会懦弱，也会受伤，更会不知所措。记得刚开设小提琴班的时候，一名黑人学生的母亲质疑她只是以关爱的名义给予他们施舍和同情，并以此自我满足。我犹记得罗贝塔当时说：“我是一位离婚的单身母亲，只是需要这样一份工作。”这和那些伟大的誓约相比显得微不足道，罗贝塔既不是一心要帮助那里的人们，也不是要为教育事业献身，她只是想要一份工作，养活自己和孩子，因为真实，所以美丽。
    在电影的最后，那场盛大的音乐会，那雷鸣般的掌声，无不令我动容。看着罗贝塔光彩照人的脸庞，和孩子们神采奕奕的眸光，我不禁上扬了嘴角。也许十年前的罗贝塔断然没有想到十年后的她会是这样，她只是用最简单的本心、对音乐最纯粹的理解、坚韧不拔的生活意志克服了所有前进道路上的荆棘，一步步地蜕变，在十年的光阴里，她洗尽铅华，折射出了难以逼视的光芒，而那些学小提琴的孩子也像雨露滋润下的树苗一样茁壮的成长起来。
    罗贝塔用平凡的力量点亮了自己和孩子的生命。同时，也告诉那些对梦想望而却步的人们：不管生于何门，阻挠几多，只要坚持下去，并笃信自己，那么一切不可能都会变得水到渠成。比起音乐，她教会孩子们的最重要的财富恰恰是这条生活信条，她以身作则，让孩子们看到了希望和未来。
    在我看来，罗贝塔就像是弓弦上的天使，在过去的人生里，她终日在海上漂泊，暗淡无光。直到她重新回到弓弦上，音乐治愈了她所有的伤痛，将掩盖她光芒的阴霾尽数扫去，她又重新成为了天使，并带给身边的人光亮。我们每个人都是罗贝塔，都在生活里苦苦探索，绝望和挫折都在所难免，我们可以被摧毁，但绝不能被打倒。希望，永远是在前方！

I am an English major. Again, it is the film title that drive me to begin this movie. I had thought it might be a film similar to August Rush, the movie that touched me deep in the heart. However, it turned out to be nothing like that.
I love music, but I am not the one that knows to appreciate the music of violin. I perfer the sound of piano. This is the first personal reason why i do not like this movie.
Then, i do not like the leading actress. I have to admit that she is strong, persistent woman. Deserted, she had to keep two boys without a permanent job. In this point, she is shining. However, I am not for her way of teaching, being too harsh and hard on her young students, thought her way is approved in the film. Then, she did not try to walk into the heart of her children and to figure out the true reason her husband leaving her (maybe this is not so important in the development of the movie). If I was in her stand, I would pay much more attention to the healthy growth of my child and try hard to help and support my students.
Thought, I should say she is a kind, helpful and strong woman. She is good. Just, not my type, that's all.

要不要让Roberta Guaspari来学校执教小提琴呢？
当教务满腹质疑的时候，Roberta让自己的两个儿子当场与她合作拉了一首曲子。结果当然是教务被美妙的音乐感染了……

Guaspari在家庭、事业双方面失意的情况下，没有自暴自弃，而是重新开始生活。她面对生活表现出来的勇气是全片最大的亮点之一。

“You shouldn’t quit something just cause it is hard”
“Standing strong doesn’t mean just using your legs, you can stand strong on the inside,”
It is what the teacher told the little girl who was disabled when the girl decide to quit.

I am fascinating with music these days, so when I first saw the caption of the movie ”Music of The Heart”, I know it must be the movie I would like.
It is indeed not a movie for commercial means. Movies targeting to make profits are generally worthless. Actually, all meaningful movies are expressions of the thoughts and emotion, or providing innovative perspectives to explore human society. This movie can be classified as a documentary, and also a meaningful one.

A woman, a navy wife, a violin teacher and a mother all these are the roles the actress in the movie has to play in life, and also generally the main social roles of a normal person. The movie reveals several universal issues concerning the social statues of women, divorce, the racial divergence. and more significantly and profoundly, this movie

Music is the language of human inside. ‘When he plays music, his whole face lights up’ when I am listening to music, it can light me up, inspire me and refill my strength. It is also a effective way to relax myself. I thought that music was useless; art is nothing but the debouchments of emotion of some other sensitive person and I don’t need to know what other think about the world. After I experience all these odds and difficulties, I gradually find the value of art. It is magic, and it is the prettiest pieces of work fell down form the heaven besides the nature beauty. I doubt that any talented artiest dare to claim that all the masterpieces are the frution of their hard working. Talent is something endowed by god, and the great pieces of art are also the gifts of god which can make the mundane world a better place. A man cannot appreciate the beauty of art is a great lose. Life without the decoration of art is much less fascinating. I confess I am a boor, and I regret that I cannot find beauty in life. I am a doomed technician and my life destined to relate with coding and calculation, impassive repetitions.

“Nicky is in trouble and you need to deal with it” Imagine if you are the mother and you hear this about you son., What will you think of it? Disappointment, penance , all kind of emotion merges together to anguish you. For a single mother, nothing means more than his sons, the only reliance and the real heart. And nothing is more desperate than a negative son. She can treat herself bad, but she cannot bring any tiny slight injure to her son and also she cannot tolerant the disturbance form the outside to spoil her son.

When I saw that the lieutenant（husband of the violin teacher）deserted his family, his wife and two lovely boys. And saw the grief the family suffered. I was irritated. What a selfish man. That kind of man could never find true love as well as inner satisfaction. I will never do that to my wife especially when she has children to rear, I will never give away my family. For me, it is my essential responsibility to bring them happy. I could never grieve anyone for the sake of my own happiness. And the real happiness is the mental and moral complacent and self appreciation. Though I may not have the chance to flirt with beautiful young ladies, or have some romantic love experience, I will feel satisfied when I have the ability to realize my obligation and actually fulfill my obligation.

There are always being something to light you up, music , children, friends, family. So never lose faith, never give up. Everything matters to me, everyone make sense, I can never lost myself merely because I failed once or someone left me. I have a flexible and abundant life.

Witticisms like“If you have some needs that I don’t meet, you would go and have them met by somebody else”are the sparkles dispersed throughout the movie which are sensible. It points out the essence of relationships between couples. No one can perfectly meet the needs of others, whether you will go to somebody else determines whether you are a man will a sense of responsibility. Love and commitment are interdependent issues. She is so feared to be dumped again, and should we be cautious to begin a new relationship?

“I can take care of myself, and I can take care of you.” It is easier said than done, particularly for a woman. Struggle is the perpetual rhythm of life. One has to strive to achieve some goals or just accept the reality and be indifferent to the losses. However, you have to make change, you have to say no to destine. I believe fate, but I think that sometime fate is just kidding you, and you submit to fate at first hand, you lost the chance to play more. Perhaps if you persist for a while and things will be different. Admittedly, struggle could never be easy, but who knows what you may lose if you give up and just let it be. Therefore, the best strategy is to fight back the predestined fate.

Admittedly, this movie is not perfect. One of the deficiencies is that it brings in too many topic hence none of them can be thoroughly and profoundly anglicized. In this sense, “Crash” is a better movie, it discusses racial discrimination in a more comprehensive way.

This is a movie can broaden your vision, and probably change your mind.
