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 Instead, he became withdrawn and lonely, far from the Ishaan who was active and fun-loving.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

    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.…

    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…

    The Human Experience made me realize that there are bigger problems in our world. It taught me that I shouldn’t take anything for granted. Just like the homeless guy said “One day you might have a home, but the next day you might be on the streets”. This made me reflect on my life, it made me realize that I’m also in need of healing. It made me think of how ungrateful I am and how I never say thank you for the smallest thing. This movie taught me that I could make a difference, by doing something small like donating my time or donating things I don’t need to those who are in need.…

    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. Other parents may allow their kids to do as they please with little consequences or rules set to abide by.

    I believe that the movie also did a good job on showing how the life of someone with a disability affects not only that individual but others around them. I believe that Radios mother had experienced so much hurt and betrayal from others that it made it hard for her to accept the kindness of the coach and at one point she even questioned why he was so nice. This shows how the cruelty of others can have propounding effects on families. In that same way when coach was a child and he watched a child with similar characteristics as radio be treated differently and was locked in a cage and Coach witnessed it. Coach never forgot that and felt guilty about it for the rest of his life. I believe coach felt guilty because he didn’t help that child but when Radio came along he was determined to help which was the perfect example of how other people’s decisions affect others. One of the things that I really admired about coach is how he treated Radio. Coach saw how Radio just needed someone to be there for him and that is what he did. Even when the entire community went against coach and told him that Radio was a distraction and they wanted him out of the school coach stood up for Radio and quit his position as a coach at the school on behalf of Radio. I believe that the child that Coach saw mistreated as a child shaped his entire life. I believe that…
