smart people vs freedom writers

what's on your mind when you meet people who are so brilliant.. or smarter than you...??

what comes to your head when you see a family... consists of smart people?

what will you say,, when you have smart lecturers/seniors but they cannot share their ideas.. they always forget your name,,, they don't care that you want to be smart as them..

anyway..SMART PEOPLE is the title of the latest movie i watched,,
i've seen many great movies.. but this is different...

may be b'coz i've ever worked as a lecturer,, teaching university students.
and because until this moment on... i still work as a tutor.. teaching many kinds of people (workers,, HS students,, graduated uni students,,uni students and so on)

this movie reminds me ...

being a lecturer or teacher or tutor.. whatever you name it..
we really have to be smart people ...

smart ,, not only know how to teach.. how to share ideas,, how to be respected,,how to treat students or anyone else,,, but also know how to be a good role model..

this movie tells us about a senior lecturer ..who is really really brilliant in his field.. but unfortunately.. he never respects his students.. his staffs.. even his son and his daughter..

he always thinks .. he is the right person,, what he says is true.. his ideas is always perfect..
on the flip side.. none likes him at all...nobody respects him.. not even his children..

ow.. it's so irritating.. but you know what? he doesn't care about that.. he is truly a selfish man...
never listening others...always listening his own words..

have you met someone like this?
well.. i bet you don't like her/him...

this movie will make you feel different...
great players... Dennis Quid, sarah jessica parker,Ellen Page, Ashton Holmes, Thomas Haden Churh
some of you maybe have watched this movie..
it's really a drama...

but it's about a life... haha..

talking about smart people .. i remember another movie.. entitled FREEDOM WRITERS,, a story about a smart woman (played by: Hillary Swank), who decided to be a teacher in a high school which is really i n trouble..

no students want to study,, and the govt. doesn't support this school at all...

so this woman tries her best to do everything she can..

she even has another job,, just to get more money .. to buy great books for her students,,,

in the end.. she encourages the students to write a journal...and finally all the journals written by the students are arranged into a book..
a book about about the real stories of their lives..

this movie....

it will remind us that being a teacher is not only teaching... it's more than that..
i know deep inside our heart we always want to give more and more to everyone else.. although sometimes it's hard..

anyway.. this woman struggles her students education.. and even their lives matters,,, while she cannot struggle her own life.. he is left by his husband,, who doesn't like seeing his wife works too hard for someone else...

this movie is a true story.. and it has a happy ending...

if you watch both of of these movies you will understand what i mean...

so guys.... if you haven't watched those movies....

better watch your step.. hehehe just kidding...

watch it!! you'll see why i cannot explain it in detail... ^_^
