truly madly and deeply
:)
with.. A MOVIE!
yes, a movie, in fact a Bollywood movie that I've watched with Bahasa Melayu subtitles, so except for some occasional English words spoken by the actors, and few words in BM that I know, I did dont understand the words, dialogues etc BUT I feel like I understand that movie more than any other movies I've seen in my life!!
It's called Taare Zameen Par: Every Child is Special, which was named in English: Like Stars on Earth.
Okay, but how and why did I fell in love with this movie, especially when I did not understand the words? yea, sounds ridiculous. Anyhow, because it touches my heart! I've watched it twice (the second time, I wanted to see whether I was just in some kind of 'crying-mood' before or does it really make me cry like a baby). And so it wasn't just my mood. It really does make me cry. To be honest I teared troughout 60% of the movie, and the movie is more than 2hrs long. So imagine.
Few weeks ago, the most passionate and inspiring teacher of mine showed us a clip from this movie:
Bum Bum Bole <- click!
my very first-second-thought was *Palmface* but as the clip goes on, the song is nice for the ears (very catchy, too), the teacher is cute and love the moves! and of course children.. the one thing that makes me weak, always! Now everytime I see/hear this one, I have a big joker-smile on my face, Like it literally makes me happy :)
So my friend downloaded the movie, and after a while the teacher said that they will show it on TV, so I waited patiently to watch it on the bigger screen than my 12'1'' lappy :)
From the very first scenes I kept getting all tearry and stuff. Like as in 'what's wrong with you joy?'. Till the very last scene I shed at least 50 tears!
And I know an avarrage person would say "okay, it was nice, but what to cry about?" but for me, and I bet for many other sensetive people (as I read a lot of reviews and comments, thank God I wasn't the only one crying *blush*) this movie was very inspirational and touching.
The best thing about this movie is that there is no corniness, no love-drama, no deaths etc just a simple plot, of which thusand of people in this world face every day. Parents, Children and Teachers (it's just like the Holy Trinity, Father, Son and the Spirit). And another great thing about it is the acting itself where I didn't have to understand the language to know what is going on. It felt like watching someone's life. The emotion.. ugh really brilliant (especially the young boy).
I keep going around, sorry, why it touched me so deeply is because it tells about lack of knowledge of some people, of their lack of sensitivity ,and problems that people face, from their very first years. It shows how to make a better place, starting with the children as they are our future. Of how there are people out there with big hearts that can motivate and change one's life in a simple way. They can make a better life for many out there, with just a pinch of will and open-mind, loving and caring heart. And I know there are people like that teacher somehwere out there, I can easily say that the lecturer who introduced us this movie is someone very similar to the one in that film.
Another thing why it catches me so deeply because, except for my passion to kids, I am a teacher in making. And it's my time now to catch the characteristics of my personality that will make me a good teacher in the future (if so..). And I can easily observe that troughout my life teachers were lacking passion, sometimes even attitude. Even right now, in the University, I am shocked with how some lecturers (fine, just one so far) are concidered experienced, professional and GOOD lecturers, while everytime I see that person and hear the words coming out of x throat, I pray hard to chase away my thoughts of harming x. (x = he/her/she/his etc, I know many people knows who I am refering to).
So even if x teaches well the subject, why should I even listen to such a person who will insult us few times per class, and who claims that we will produce 'stupid students' while if I were to take her as my role model, I think I'd sooner kill all people for them being 'idiots, stupid, brainless and with no knowledge' than even try teaching. I guess my classmates who would read this note would perfectly know who I am talking about, well I don't care. I am actually surprised that some people like that attitude and will probably follow x style. God bless, I would never bring my children any close to such people. I believe in being polite and having good mannaers.
Well okay, I went really around this time, but that is because that lecturer always makes my blood pressure jump so high.. And I could write a book about it and still, it wouldn't take out my anger I have towards that person :)
So like yea, where was I? oh I just wanted to say, it's a shame that there are less teachers out there who with their attitude would encourage the students to learn, to enjoy, to listen and to be a good person. Real shame.
So yea, I'm not going to write more. Just wanted to share some thoughts. I might even watch it for the third time (maybe I will learn the language? hmm toink.)
I just think that every (future) parent and every (future) teacher should watch this movie to learn how to understand and help children with problems they face in their early lives.
Make this worlda better place!
Bum Bum Bole..
