I donno wassup with me these days, but I saw two movies in last two days and they both have left such a great impression on my mind..that I really need to write out something to prevent being preoccupied all the time. Well one is "The karate Kid" and the other is "To Sir, With Love" .
Well they don't have any correlation to each other accept that they both are inspiring. They both are legendary, if a creation, a thought, the work and implementation can be so labelled. Whenever we go to watch a movie we are looking for some kind of take back, which will be a feel good factor, it won't leave a sagging tail that u regret having wasted ur time, it is one of those kind of movies which makes u feel great that u r alive.





Well enough of it. So the movie "To sir with love" is about a young engineering graduate pass-out with no teaching experience, who joins as a teacher in a school where kids of lower, abused strata of society study. Kids whose family itself is so possessed in the clutches of harsh realities and abuse that education and mannerisms take a back burner. The kids give him a hard time as they always give to rest of the teachers till one day he realizes that " they are kids at heart" and are at their rebellion phase The way to teach them to be adult, it makes him innovate and break the barriers of textbooks to reach out and teach them the basics of life, the bare necessary traits to survive in the world outside  and he slowly and gradually transforms them all. And at the end they make him realize, his true role and responsibility as a teacher and he gives away his job offer as an engineer. Well as story it might not seem impressive but as it unfolds it just leaves u spellbound, u feel part of both the students and the teachers role. You debate the righteousness of each action, you critize few acts and yet u wait in anticipation of what will happen next,  what will the reaction..what will lie ahead... You relish each change in students, you live their each rebellious note and their each dream...You appreciate their circumstances and responsibilities yet u wanna shout at their stupidity. Its one amazing movie which is just one of the greatest work ever...




The other one "The Karate Kid" , well I am told there are two versions of it, I mostly saw the newer one in which a child of around 10 moves to Beijing with his mom as she is transferred there. Now comes all kinds of barriers language, new group, rivalry. He gets into lot of trouble with a school group who are trained in karate until he meets a guy, who saves him and trains him to become one of the greatest Karate fighters in the town. Well its not about the kid, its not about the teacher, its not even the Karate or kung fu which attracts and charms and mesmerizes u but its the flow of the story, the dialogues and truths and realizations and the reaction and emotions and the victory of one's faith on one's self,  which are so beautifully portrayed and woven around that makes u feel just awesome at the end...Somewhere after practice lies a satisfaction and peace, no matter what happens..it leaves u with that impression in mind...
oh did i forgot to mention he lands in trouble because of girl at first place and then his fearlessness and perfect sense of priorities and righteousness later. ..nyways njoy the movie..!!
