Taare Zameen Par: You'lll find your purpose when you find your happiness

Oftentimes children can't express what they feel and causes children to rebel, cause adults force them to do something they hate to do. I know this cause i'm a kid too, and what kid wants is to have fun. It's a good thing to have a brilliant movie like this that could change people's view about life, a movie that will tell us the truth that is happening among us, bad teachings and sometimes it causes enraged to teacher because teacher only sees the top ranking students and they don't care bout the poor students. Kudos! to Aamir Khan for bringing us this wonderful movie "Taare Zameen Par" or "Stars on the Ground" a stroy of a gifted child named Ishaan who happens to be dyslexic.

The Acting was excellent specially Ishaan, his talent brings the best out of the movie, he done it perfectly, the parents acting was so natural even though they are so stereotypical, and to Aamir I was amazed by his skill and the music is the psyche of the movie and I was touch by the sounds, I was moved. "Mama knows everything" what a wonderful composition. Many movies that touch our hearts and often we call them hits, but Taare Zameen Par touches the soul, it is very emotional and it's very special.

The first part of the movie was slow, it's good because it takes time to build up each character, I see Ishaan as a boy who doesn't want to go to school despite of being bullied by his peers, he faces the rigors of the schools, his schools was so strict and what the boys needs is attention and they don't see it, he seeks for help. The school is pedantic, every mistake has a corporal punishment and that's not the way to discipline a students.

The part when Sir Nikumbh appeared was quite odd, and I know the way to persuade a student to like you is to feel that they are special, but Nikumbh do it in his own style. every child is special and the students feel that by singing and dancing they have no problems, just kids having fun. I was amazed because he done everything to change the life of Ishaan. the poignant of the boy was slowly changing because he slowly see what the world has for him, he slowly change his perspectiveabout everything. Nikumbh cling to his faith that he can teach the boy. It;s very tangible what he did, every child is unique, every child deserves a chance to do something to make him happy, but I think NIkumbh is holistic which is good, without knowing the background of when or when, or what causes Ishaan to have dyslexia.

The movie was emotional it even made me cry, but the part that made me cry is not on the main theme, it's when Nikumbh is eating alongside the road. When he saw a kid whos shirt is ragged and is cleaning the table and eventually he let him sat beside him and gives him biscuit and drinks, that scene has something I feel the connection between Nikumbh and the children specially in the Tulips Schol it feels like my heart was crushed because of the very emotional scne, his passion for children change every viewer, and if you love children I can recommend this to you. It's a must watch movie, and I prefer to watch it with your family specially when your parents stifles you, haha just kidding.

Ishaan finds his happiness by painting, he express his emotion through painting and take note when he won the prize over thousand students, he finds his purpose. Kudos Aamir Khan.

Simon Birch: When someone you love dies, you don't lose them all at once.



When someone you love dies, you don't lose them all at once. You lose them in pieces over time, like how the mail stops coming. What I remember most to this day was my mother's scent and how I hated it when it began to disappear. First from her closets, then from her dresses she had sewn herself and then finally from her bedsheets and pillow cases. Simon and I never talked much about that day on the baseball field. It was too painful for both of us. For as much as I loved my mother, I knew that Simon loved her just as much. She was the only real mother he ever had." I Was touch by Joe Wenteworth when he said those words, i suddenly stop, and think of my mom. by just simply reminscing what happen, my heart melts. i want to cry. those words that made me appreciate my mother more than what i'm doing right now. that movie is something, it so catchy and i even think if it's base from a true story, but i pause and i said to myself "it really doesn't matter if it's base from true story." the thing is the inspiration that it give to all of it's viewers their childhood memories that joe never forget. i also caught by their friendship despite of their standing in their community, i was amazed by how they hold on to their faith to each other specially simon, he's cute adorable boy that has strong faih in god, he really never let go i was also amazed because his acting is really natural when he sad "sex makes people crazy" and when he touch her classmate boobs, i really don't expect from a boy who's saying that he's an instrument of god that he will do or say something like that. indeed nobody is perfect the movie portray many events that happen in real life, sometime i wonder if there's someone who's just like simon birch, who has faith in god more than everybody else. someone like simon who is willing to give his life just to save his friends, and to joe wenteworth i admire him, he never forget his bestfriend and he even named his son after simon, the film is so heartwarming and my insights about life grew wider. thanks simon and joe :).

A hole that only he can fill It

Well.. maybe it's safe to say that, when people fulfilled there dreams, it make them happy.. but after a while they lose their interest and find another one.. indeed there's no contentment.

I once inspire by my teacher when he said that "There's a hole in us that only god can fill up."
by reflecting, i realize that it's something i once experience it, there's a time that when i was alone and trying to think about my hopes and dreams, and suddenly i think what if i get my dreams does it make me whole? or it will just make me long for another things when i fulfill it, things like this, there's no contentment in our hearts.
Until i read this post A God Shaped Hole ~ Only He Can Fill It  Then i ask my self what's a God shaped Hole? then i look at my self in the mirror, i feel my heart.. it was then i realized that it's the part of us that we often regret, we often deny, but the point is, if God fill this hole that's inside of us, that's the time we can feel the true meaning of God's Love. it's nothing compare to money, fame, attention. it's unlimited joy..

God is love. :')
