The Chorus (Les Choristes)
For a little while now, I've started to wonder if I'm projecting a sense of apathy on the movies and books I've read. Nothing has really seemed to press any buttons. Until I saw Les Choristes today. There's no reason that I can think of why this movie would make such an impression. It's the typical story - teacher comes to all boys school, brings humor to humorless environment, defies the headmaster who believes the only way to keep order is to keep students under his thumb. If you've seen "Dead Poets Society", "Mr Holland's Opus", or "The Emperor's Club", you get the picture. (Or on the distaff side "Mona Lisa Smile"). It also has the added hindrance of being French subtitled, which means looking away from the screen to grab your drink could lead one to miss a critical moment in the movie.Whatever. This movie is well worth seeing, it's warm and has a lot of heart. The acting is superb, and the story is sweet. If you haven't added this to the netflix queue, time to do it. Awesome feelgood movie.

It has to be. I haven't listened to the CD, but the music in the movie is fabulous!
