Mona Lisa Smile

Yeay!This is another great movie to watch..Mona Lisa Smile,an Academy Award winner starring Julia Roberts wholeads an all-star cast featuring Kirsten Dunst, Julia Stiles, Maggie Gyllenhall and Marcia Gay Harden. It is a funny, inspiring and uplifting film about an art history professor with a lot to teach about life and much to learn about romance.

In 1953, Katherine Ann Watson(Julia Roberts),30 something grad student from California, takes a position teaching "History of Art" at Wellesley College, a conservative women's private liberal arts college in Massachusetts because she wants to make a difference and influence the next generation of women.This is a story whereby young women are struggling with their youth especially in making decision in their life.I wish to be someone like Mrs Watson,a great teacher who inspired all her students!

Winston Churchill vs Adolf Hitler

Do you know how a great leader is defined? In my opinion, a great leader is defined by his subject. How big is his subject? Who is his subject? And most important things are how they persuade their subject? Adolf Hitler and Winston Churchill is an example of a great leader. Both of them have high skills and confident when delivering a speech in other word they are a great orator. When delivering the speech, they show what they are capable of; they exhibit their power by criticizing their enemy. Using history as a guideline to show how bad is their enemy. All the things that they did are indeed working; all of their subjects are influenced by the way they gave their speech.

Animal Farm

George Orwell is a genius in writing, he have created a masterpiece that reminds us about a world; the world of politics. In politics propaganda is a common thing, in this story I am attracted to Squealer; a minor character that have crucial part in this story. He is one of the pigs that created the seven commandments. Although he does not have any authority or became a leader in this story but he play the role of propagandist. When Napoleon takes over the Animal Kingdom, Squealer became a medium between Napoleon and his subject. Every action that Napoleon makes, Squealer will be there to explain why such action is done. He manipulates the fact and led the common animal to be loyal to Napoleon. Squealer is the main reason why Napoleon can be a leader. The question that hovering in my mind is; will there be any difference if Squealer have the authority instead of Napoleon? My opinion regarding this question is; it would not be any difference because Squealer is a manipulator; he lies and changes the fact for negative intention. His action that helps Napoleon to rule Animal Farm will be the same if he were a leader. Instead, if he had the power, the damage that he will cause will be more than the damage that Napoleon did.

Movie Review:Lean On Me

 

 After earning rave notices for powerful supporting turns as a pimp in Street Smart (1987) and an alcohol abuse counselor in Clean and Sober (1988), actor Morgan Freeman began his ascent to stardom with this, his first lead role in a major motion picture. Freeman is real-life high school principal Joe Clark, a tough, harsh educator and administrator who in 1987 is given a nearly impossible task by his old friend, school superintendent Dr. Frank Napier (Robert Guillaume). Clark is asked to reform inner city Eastside High School in Paterson, NJ, a hotbed of delinquent kids and drug dealers. Considered the worst school in New Jersey, the state is threatening to take control of Eastside away from the local school board. If Clark can straighten out Eastside in time to get the school's basic-skills test scores up, he can have the job permanently. Although Clark's tyrannical approach and hard-line policies alienate many members of the staff and the community, his uncompromising campaign gets results and even makes him famous, much to the chagrin of his powerful enemies.

 

 

 

Freeman, however, is truly the heart and soul of this picture, and his work in it would serve to open all of Hollywood's eyes to his often under-appreciated talents. While Lean on Me is a pleasant human interest story and well-made film, it will largely be remembered as the picture that helped to herald Freeman's arrival as a major player on the big screen.This movie gives a big impact on me as teacher to be.A great teacher is someone who knows to make changes in education and the students.
