Une visite au cinéma

Just accompanied my CM1 classes from Ferdinand Buisson on a school trip to the cinema. I was assured that it would be fine for me because they were watching a film muette (silent film) so I’d be able to understand. Sure enough it was a black and white hommage to Charlie Chaplain’s The Kid set in New York with accompanying music performed by the International Sidewalk Orchestra. The film itself wasn’t bad – but to be honest, most of the entertainment came out of sitting in a cinema full of 8-10 year olds who were continually chatting, turning around, telling each other to shut up, and throwing various objects around the room. Most hilarious of all was the short yet graphic ‘amorous’ scene, which was greeted byabsolute roars of disgust from every single child. It was so so funny – and unbelievably reminiscent of Cinema Paradiso (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uGkuyc2OmY
