We went to class as usual and sat at the back because we were just tired after a whole day of full tiring classes. Furthermore it’s our last class for the week and it’s time for me to go back home. I always wonder why we have to come so far just to watch these movies when we can watch them in our rooms. I was just too tired to even pay attention on what was on the screen. After a while the movie started with Julia Roberts story, and I was excited because she is my favorite. So I told myself maybe I should pay attention this time because she always makes the movie worthwhile watching.
I missed the title of the movie so I asked Renuga, and she said, “ Mona Lisa Smile”. “I immediately said to her she will make us smile I guess.” Through enough the movie was very nice and motivating. She looked different and brought the character so well. In 1953, a time when women's roles were rigidly defined, free-spirited, novice art history professor Katherine Watson begins teaching at the prestigious all-female Wellesley College--which despite its academic reputation, is an environment where success is measured by 'how well' the students marry.
This question really made me think. How people those days looked down upon women and they had such a scale to evaluate the young women. Her way of teaching and even dressing gave us an impact on what a teacher could do. The director made me think deeper as there was a love story in the middle. I told myself how difficult a women studies and makes changes to herself she is always looked down by certain guys. I liked her way of teaching the arrogant girl who played the role of the principal’s daughter. Julia also shows that sometimes it’s necessary to teach a lesson those who need them.
On the other hand, I was impressed that she taught the arrogant and spoilt girls a lesson through a subject like art. From this story I began to believe the saying “Pictures speaks thousand words”. In my opinion art has a very high ecstatic value that can be explored. In our school curriculum art is not given importance. I‘ve learned that art allows the students to express themselves and gives them confident. After the movie, all of us were talking and sharing our own views on the movie. Besides that, we had a chance to clear all our doubts on the movie to. Then I realise the reason why Dr. Jaya has this movie session. As I said, “She made me smile”.
