It may be seen like a kid’s movie but this movie really touched our heart. First time I saw almost all my class member were not asleep and they were watching as if they were there on the day of the competition. All the cheers and sounds clearly showed that everybody was into the movie. That small girl had all our attention. A small girl from a broken family and isolated by her friends reaches all out for victory with the help of a wonderful person. She portrays the actual situation of some students in our schools. These children are special and all they need is just a little boost. Sadly teachers nowadays fail to identify and give them a chance..
At the age of 11 without a father and a useless brother is too much for her. There is so much to learn from her. Dr. Larabee is another special feature that we should adore. His way of teaching touches Akeelah’s heart and reaches her brain to function. Once again discipline played a major role in educating the students. He had his own set of rules for her to achieve her target. His teaching using cards, speaking the right way and the most interesting one using the bit of a song for her to recall what she studied was superb. He identified her strength carefully and made the job easy for her.
I must say that he made learning meaningful for her and she hold on tight on it to win the battle. The movie turned out to be something really fun to watch while she was at the final, Scripps National Spelling Bee. This is because all of us were hoping and praying that she would spell it correctly and wins the championship. Everyone was into the movie and I could hear them whispering, “ Yes, say it !”. Thanks to Dr. Larabee for his teaching and he has reminded us to be attentive and beaware of students like Akeelah because all they need is just a little BOOST….Movie that Stole our HEART !
