Time for me to comment on my super favourite movie of the moment. :)
Taare Zameen Par
The movie is about this 8-year old boy, Ishaan, who suffers from dyslexia. His parents and teachers dont realise he has a problem, and instead think he is just naughty and uninterested in studying. He is sent to a boarding school, where his father hopes he will learn some discipline.
Ishaan feels that he has been sent to the boarding school to be punished, and he becomes very quiet and depressed. Until the new art teacher, Ram, comes to the school. Ram also works in another school for special children, and when he sees Ishaan, he realises that Ishaan is dyslexic.
Basically after that he helps Ishaan realise his true potential. :)
(sorry la my synopsis a bit cacat, but I'm sleepy, and I'm not much of a synopsis writer anyway :p)
This is another version of the synopsis I stole from some person on youtube :
Ishaan Awasthi, an eight-year old dyslexic child has difficulties in reading, writing and understanding letters, words and sentences. His world is filled with wonders that no one else seems to appreciate; colours, fishes, dogs and kites are just not important in the world of adults, who are much more interested in things like homework, marks and neatness.
Sounds more poetic. :p
Its very different from the usual hindi movies...
ZERO glamour, and I didnt even have to fast forward the songs.
Its a bit slow moving, (might be the lack of glamour) but its a superb movie.
I super super super love it.
And I cried a bit at the end. Well, not exactly...towards the end I sniffled everytime the boy cried. ><
Since I'm embedding anyway...
That song that almost made me cry :
Since most of you wont understand it...
Lyrics :
i never say this
but i am frightened of the dark mom
i do not show it
but i care for you, mom
you know all this, don't you mom?
you know it all, my mom
do not leave me in the crowd that
i am unable to return home mom
don't send me so far away
that you don't think of me, mom
am i so bad, mom
am i that bad, my mom?
whenever dad
swings me high on the swing, mom
i look out for you
thinking you will support me mom
i don't tell him this
but i become cautious, mom
i don't let it show on my face
but i am afraid, mom
you know it all, don't you mom?
you know it all, my mom
i never say this
but i am frightened of the dark mom
i do not show it
but i care for you, mom
you know all this, don't you mom?
you know it all, my mom

But its so emo. :)
