every child is special movie review tagalog

All Odds and Ends

A platform of mixed knowledge, information, and reviews, every child is special (movie) – review and reflection.

A child of 8 like Ishaan, is expected to be able to read and write numbers and letters.  Because of this insufficiency of knowledge, his parents and teachers at school hastily concluded that he’s just being naughty and lazy. Ishaan is a very artistic child but his parents didn’t realize that he is dyslexic. Ishaan is also a victim of bullying but he still manages to see life like a paradise, he just keeps on being happy despite the mocking of his classmates and neighbors. I admire the way how he managed to be happy and carefree regardless of how the other people’s treatment towards him.

Ishaan was frantically bullied and judged by his classmates even teachers. I became very disappointed on how the other teachers treated him, teachers are the second parent of every student in a class, they should treat every student with love, care, and guidance. But the teachers gave him otherwise.

The most heartbreaking scene for me is the part when his father decided to bring him into a boarding school to teach him some discipline. It breaks my heart seeing how Ishaan and his mother pleaded his father just to make Isaan stay. I understand that as a father, he wants the best for his child. But it makes me mad on how they didn’t realize Ishaan’s condition sooner. All he cares is about Ishaan not getting serious about his studies. It is just a movie but the situations like these are not far from reality. Children suffering from dyslexia could experience this in real life. Isn’t that disturbing?

He became fearful and he is crying every night. He completely loses his confidence. But the worst of all, he stopped drawing which was his only way of expressing himself, his artistic and magical world in his cruel environment. Ishaan is just 8 years old, he can’t nurture understand his own confusions. But not until Ram Shankar Nikumbh walked into his life.

Ram Shankar Nikumbh (Aamir Khan)

Ram Shankar is a very artistic and helpful teacher, he loves teaching students and making them happy. He enlightens the parents of Ishaan about Ishaan’s condition at school, he’s dyslexic, and how the situation is emotionally killing him. He talked to the teachers of Ishaan and persuades them in giving him a chance. He is very enthusiastic when it comes to helping other people. In this way, we can see that Ram really cares about Ishaan, especially the way how Ishaan lost his interest in art. Ram is also an example to everyone that people with mental conditions deserve understanding and help. He also shows that in this competitive world, people with natural talents are ignored and being looked down and the only ones that are being given importance are people who are smart and getting high grades. Ram teaches Ishaan how to read and write patiently, he shows that every child in this world is special, they deserve love, care, and appreciation.            

_ Writer’s Reflection

This is another Amir Khan’s movie that I’d watched; he never fails to impress me with his movies. This movie made me cry because when I was on Ishaan’s age, I also experienced bullying and discrimination in our classroom. It’s not as devastating as Ishaan’s experience, but watching this film reminds me of my past experiences in grade school and how those experiences altered me into someone strong and better. Like the time when my classmates teased me that I only have a beautiful face but I’m “bobo”  (stupid) same goes with my 3rd-grade teacher that once told me that I won’t survive grade school with a brain that I have. I’m so depressed that time, I’m crying every night; I even came to the point that I don’t want to attend school anymore.

Watching this film, and reminiscing my experience, is constantly reminding me to never give up and don’t let other people bring me down. This movie also teaches us to treat every single person in this world, mentally ill or not, with equal respect and understanding.

Nikumbh’s statement is true, “There is a merciless and competitive world out there. And in this crazy world, everybody wants to grow to toppers and rankers. Everybody wants a genius for a kid. Doctors, Engineers, MBA. Nothing less is tolerated. Anything else is blasphemy isn’t it?”  In this cruel and competitive word, we must not let other feel miserable with their selves, especially to those children like Ishaan. We should not define an individual base on their test scores and ability. A child like him only knows little in this world; a child like him should not be judged but should be guided to see the goodness in them.

Life is really not about getting the top grades and competing with others, don’t try stretching all the fingers; they might break! Sometimes in life, it is healthy to be slow and dumb. – Ram Shankar Nikumbh

‘’On the Solomon islands, when the tribes need to clear the jungle to make way for fields, they don’t cut down the trees , they simply gather and collect around it, and hurl abuses at the tree, they curse it. Slowly but surely, after some days, the trees begin to wither. It dies on its own.’’- Ram Shankar Nikumbh

“To show you that there have been such gems amongst us who have change the course of the world because they could look at the world differently. Their thinking was out of the box and not everyone understood them.” – Ram Shankar Nikumbh

“Every child has his own capabilities, his own desires, his own dreams.” – Ram Shankar Nikumbh

“There is a merciless and competitive world out there. And in this crazy world, everybody wants grow to toppers and rankers. Everybody wants a genius for a kid. Doctors, engineers, MBA. Nothing less is tolerated. Anything else is blasphemy isn’t it?” – Ram Shankar Nikumbh

MOVIE LEARNINGS

EXERCISING OUR MINDS AND HEARTS THROUGH MOVIE MARATHONS

SUMMARY OF THE MOVIE “EVERY CHILD IS SPECIAL”

 A SUMMARY OF ONE OF THE BEST FAMILY MOVIE OF ALL TIME; EVERY CHILD IS SPECIAL.

The story is about an 8-year-old boy named Ishaan who cannot cope with the academic demands in school. He even finds it hard to read because the letters are moving or dancing. He also can’t write correctly and his letters and numbers are sometimes inverted. He is then in danger to repeat his grade level.

Because of his difficulties in school, his parents decided to move him to a new school that they expect to help him. This made Ishaan depressed knowing his family disband him.

Out of the blue, a new teacher has arrived in their school that will help Ishaan find himself.

Ishaan Awasthi, an eight year old kid filled with joy and imagination is having a hard time with his life. His parents are more focused in Ishaan’s brother who is much smarter. They just doesn’t seem to appreciate Ishhan’s talent in creativity and art.

Ishaan is also having a hard time in coping up in school, he just can’t even read nor write. The letters he see are moving and when he writes, his letters and numbers are sometimes inverted. Because of his difficulties in school and family, he became depressed and confused.

His parents then decided to move him to a new school that will teach him better and far away from home, which, they did not know that will make Ishaan more depressed. Ishaan is having a hard time coping and adjusting and his only stress reliever is through painting.

Out of the blue, Ram Shankar Nikumbh, a new art teacher came to the scene that defies traditionally practiced teaching. He set his students on hype fire encouraging them to use their imagination.

He noticed Ishaan and his difficulties. He discovered that Ishaan’s mistakes are because that he has dyslexia, a disorder that involves difficulty in learning to read or interpret words, letters, and other symbols, but that do not affect general intelligence. -google Nikumbh reminisced his past as he also has the same problem as Ishaan before. He decided to help the kid.

While observing Ishaan, Nikumbh noticed the kid’s talent in art. He realized the kid’s potential. Nikumbh came to visit Ishaan’s family and explained to them the kid’s problem why he is different. His parents were ashamed of themselves not knowing their sons potential.

Nikumbh Helped the kid read and write properly. they made a great bond together

Nikumbh approached the school’s principal to have an event of painting to show the school that Ishaan is not what they seem to think he is. On the event, Ishaan is faced off with different artist in school icluding his very own mentor, Nikmubh.

When the decision came to who won the eyes and hearts of the judges. He is tied with his teacher Nikumbh, but only one should be the winner. And that someone is no other than Ishaan himslef. He won over his very own mentor which made him, Nikumbh, and his family very happy and proud.

Ishaan’s victory helps him find himself which made him a better person in school, family and community. His grades became higher and personality improved and made him a very smart and happy child.

The movie tells us that children are like stars on earth, they are all special in their own ways.

Movie Review: Like Stars on Earth, Every Child is Special

• by Doris Siu
• 2021-09-07 2021-09-05

I first watched Aamir Khan in ‘ 3 Idiots ‘ who did an excellent job acting in that film, so I discovered that he’s actually a big star in India and this film, ‘taare zameen par’ (translated to ‘Like Stars on Earth, Every Child is Special’) was one that he directed and starred in. 

When initially watching the movie without knowing any background, I thought the child actor depicted above (Darsheel Safary who played Ishaan, an 8-year-old dyslexic child) was very troublesome and almost rude. I grew up seeing school as a place of discipline and that anyone who didn’t follow rules was ‘naughty’ or rather, ‘rebellious.’ However, as we begin to learn more about Ishaan, we realize he has a learning disability. Though, nobody understands him and thinks that he is lazy or stupid because he can’t get things right after trying so many times. Eventually, his dad gets very upset with his poor grades and that he failed grade 3 twice, so he sends him off to boarding school. There, he grows extremely depressed and even gives up his passion of drawing. You see, Ishaan loves to paint and when his mother hears that he doesn’t even paint anymore at his new school, she worries greatly for her son and feels like this is all her fault. 

It was enlightening to watch a film like this, to know that they can portray how a child truly feels when they don’t understand, not because they aren’t trying, but because they confuse letters and numbers with similar patterns. When Ishaan meets the temporary art teacher, who we learn was also dyslexic, we are empowered to see how with the right support, a child who truly is very bright can grow. 

School typically starts today (the day after Labour Day) in Ontario. Though this year, school starts on Thursday because the board requires more time to prepare given the COVID pandemic. But, this is the reason why I wanted to post about this movie today. As we enter the coming school year, I want all teachers (and even students) to remember the powerful quotes below. We all have something that makes us special and not everyone learns the same. Just because someone learns differently or takes longer to learn something, doesn’t mean they are incapable. Sometimes, it is these individuals who make the biggest difference in the world because they can see things in a different light compared to others.

• “There have been such gems amongst us who changed the course of the world because they could look at the world differently. Their thinking was out of the box and not everyone understood them. They were ridiculed. But despite that, they persevered.” 
• “Life is really not about getting the top grades and competing with others. Don’t try stretching all your fingers. To win, each finger has to be pulled until it gets longer. Pull away until it finally breaks.” 
• “On the Solomon islands, when the tribes need to clear the jungle to make way for fields, they don’t cut down the trees , they simply gather and collect around it, and hurl abuses at the tree, they curse it. Slowly but surely, after some days, the trees begin to wither. It dies on its own.”
• “If you want to win competitions, then breed race horses, don’t have kids.”

A troubled kid, a true-to-his-profession teacher, and an extraordinary moment of insight. This was what defined this movie.  Remember a good education can change anyone, but a good teacher can change everything. 

This movie has changed the way I view children with disabilities. I always used to see them as different, but not in a bad light, but different as in they need more support compared to other children. However, this movie made me realized that many children with learning disabilities could perhaps be much more brilliant. But why they struggle is because they are looking for someone to help them accept who they are so they can flourish and grow. It’s hard to gain confidence in yourself when others view your differences as something bad. This movie did a great job really putting yourself into the shoes of a dyslexic child and how others view him. 

Children with dyslexia can read and write like any other child. You just need a lot of patience, but you will see improvement with time and support. After all, it’s believed that even Albert Einstein was dyslexic. Brilliance isn’t defined by your grades in school. I would definitely recommend teachers to watch this movie to gain an appreciation of all the differences each child brings into their classroom.
