Every Child Is Special
3. Critical Analysis on the movie “Every Child Is Special”.

Every Child Is Special is a Hindi drama film (Taare Zameen Par, translation: Stars On Earth) produced and directed by Aamir Khan (who also played the role of Ram Shankar Nikumbh an art teacher). It tells about a boy, Ishaan Awasthi an eight-year old whose world is filled with wonders that no one else seems to appreciate and who were always getting in trouble at school for being so misbehaving and out of focus from his lessons. Too often, he would be caught by his teacher daydreaming and getting low grades. He even cannot read nor write, for him letters and numbers are his enemy. For the people around him, Ishaan is a naughty and lazy boy because of this, his father sent him to boarding school, all alone and homesick with the hope of disciplining him, but the academic status of Ishaan did not still improve. Instead, he became withdrawn and lonely, far from the Ishaan who was active and fun-loving. Then came a new art teacher Ram Shankar Nikumbh who infects the students with joy and optimism. He breaks all the rules of "how things are done" by asking them to think, dream and imagine, and all the children respond with enthusiasm, all except Ishaan. But with Ram Shankar Nikumbh’s time, patience, care, and some awesome motivation he ultimately helps Ishaan find himself and change the way Ishaan would act towards school and learn to appreciate himself even more.
Darsheel Safary is so perfect for the role of Ishaan Awasthi. Safary, with his innocent eyes and face, made me laugh with his funny antics and at the same time rend my heart as he goes through the agony of enduring boarding school alone and away from his parents. From start to finish, the movie gripped my attention, and the musical portions added to my fascination for that I can say that Every Child Is Special is a one heart-touching movie.
This movie is an eye opener as to the worth and significance of every child. The story deals with an issue

    The Analysis on the Modern Day Remake of “Yours, Mine, and Ours” Relating to Psychology Rachel Labell Front Range Community College Observations Relating to Psychology: The Beardsley and North Family Unite Rachel Labell During childhood, most everyone experiences a parenting style in their different homes. Some parents punish their children for being disobedient and not following the rules they have set for their household.

    The movie was very powerful just to learn about hate crime and how it attracted a lot of attention from media as well as public all over the world due to his tragic death. Matthew was the type of person that was very approachable and always put his family and friends first. Even though the death of Matthew Shepard was undeserved I definitely think that some good has come out of it because it made people realize how much violence and hatred there in the world and what it can turn into. This tragedy helped the nation wake up to the fact that hate and discrimination still lives in our communities, schools and families. Mr. Dennis Shepard gave speech in tribute to his son Matthew brought tears in my eyes. I was able to connect and engage to that moment. That moment touched me so much that I couldn’t stop crying.…

    I first watched this film two years ago when I saw it in the library DVD shelve. I found the concept of babies interesting since they are adorable and tiny, but watching it with a symbolic interaction perspective has given me an insight that I did not have the first time I watched it. Even though all the babies were born to different social environments and economic statuses, the parents wanted their child to be safe and provided what they perceived to be the best basic needs.…

    The idea of Grace helping the boys is shown and also it explains the fact that her early life determines how she interacts with the troubled boys. I also agree that the movie acts as a good educational tool by using these experiences to show how people can handle certain situations. You also that caregivers provide an emotional role in peoples lives. In the review it also mentions that emotions are hard to understand but the movie does a good job of making the audience experience the emotions of the characters. The facility is good because Grace helped the young people and experienced emotions of their lives together. The relationships between the teens also were changed throughout the…

    This movie is very eye opening. I vaguely recall reading about this event in high school. I feel like the film did a great job at humanizing the little girls and their families. Instead of just thinking about the tragedy in a kind of abstract way, it allows you to relate to what happened in a much more visceral way.…

    Every Child Matters (ECM) is a Government ambition, which was launched in 2003, that covers England and Wales. The initiative primarily focuses on protecting children and ensuring that each child fulfils their potential. Their goal is to create an environment that offers both security and opportunity for children up to the age of 19, or 24 for those with disabilities. Child protection is a fundamental element that is carried out across all private and voluntary organisations. In order to create a society where children are safe and have access to opportunities requires radical reform so the Government created a Green Paper that builds on existing plans to strengthen preventative services by focusing on five key themes.…

    through deaf eyes

    Watching the film, the part that impacted me the most was when they started mentioning the deaf children. It may because I am a mother, but this portion of the film made me really sad. Many children were sent off to residential schools at such a young age (where parents are needed at times) and only come home for a few days. Also, children were forced, so to say, to speak because oralism ruled over sign language at times throughout the years. The children were punished if seen to using their hands for any type of communication or for any reason for that matter. In addition, it made me sad when some of the interviewers started telling their own stories of how hearing tests were done and how doctors tried to “cure” them. I know that medicine was not as advanced as it is today but some of the tests seemed cruel. I believe that the…

    This movie really showed how many hearing parents of deaf children felt. What information was or wasn’t given to them along the way. How hard it was to make the decisions that they did. There is so much that you must decide for your child. A lot of the time the parents weren’t thinking about their child and how they would benefit from their initial decision to either teach and learn ASL or go down the long hard road of speech therapy day after day. When in the end they aren’t going to achieve more than a fourth grade…
