The Special Child

The movie is titled every child is special that refer to Taare Zamen Par, a Hindi Film. It is a bollywood movie that the cast mostly came from 3 idiots. Taare Zameen Par is a must-watch movie. It just not told you that every child is special; it also leads you to think the pressure building upon young generation by their so called parents, relatives, teachers and all. It is a one heart touching movie. The movie deals with a boy suffering from dyslexic or dyslexia. As a dyslexic child, the boy has difficulties in reading, writing and understanding letters, words and sentences. His world is filling with wonders that no one else seems to appreciate; colors & shapes that are just not important in the world of adults, who are much more interested in things like homework, marks and neatness. And the boy just cannot seem to get anything right in class. For that, he gets punished by his parents, teachers, and friends. Later in the movie, the parents being as traditional parents are not ready to accept his deformity. The boy is sent to a boarding school where all his hopes, passion & imagination died. When everything is down, ‘an angel’ showed up to the screen, his art teacher. It is then that how his teacher brings back the boy’s lost creativity and the boy rises above all odds to face this ‘cruel’ world. The Movie was so nice and full of lesson. During the film viewing, I felt so attached to the Character of Ishaan Awasthi, a child who has dyslexia. Every Child Is Special, is an eye opener as to the worth and significance of every child. The story deals with an issue, that is as real as it is unrecognized - dyslexia. Watching this movie should be an eye opener to all parents about the kind of pressure the education system puts on young kids. Being a topper and doing extremely well in academics is not everything in life. It should also open the eye of schools to kids with learning problems and they should not be confused with kids who have psychological problems.
