b. The main aspect of class A's film that I admired was how realistic it was. Not necessarily the acting(though it was good) but the concept of how everything went down throughout the film. There was no scene that created a magical teacher who saved the day, it only had an overly stressed teacher resolving it through alcohol. Not only was the teacher realistic, but the reactions the students gave out throughout the movie. There was no one student that enough courage to support the teacher, or one strong voice that conflicted the teacher. They were all bundled up in their cliques and were impacted very little by the teacher's sayings.
The whole film seemed very light, especially the plot, but that also brought out what made it realistic. The ending especially made it clear as to what the film was trying to portray. The actual lack of significance teachers have in the minds of students. Though some more than others.
c. Unlike most savior teacher films, it was clearly the teacher who had the problems and not the students. Or that point of view was only shown in the film. The camera was not faced at the individual students, but the teacher himself. Movies like "Coach Carter" or "Freedom Writers" mainly focus on a strong teacher figure who struggles in order to sacrifice themselves for their students. But in the class film none of that was portrayed. The teacher started out stressed and relied on alcohol, and at the end the teacher did not become better one bit, but got worse and insulted the students.
d. Like everything in the world school is not perfect, mainly because of the diversity in human characteristics and personalities, no school can be perfect no matter how they rearrange their curriculum. Though that does not make every school the same. I believe that schools that "enforce" things upon the students are doomed to fail at least from the student's perspective. School can only save us from certain things that we may encounter in the future, then theres specialized schools for other things. School saves us from losing the base of judgement. Everyday we are forced to label right and wrong through use of common sense, so we do not become irrational. This also builds good citizenship in our society, which results in possibly less crime. School's should be a place where we can exercise our brain, not a place where our brains are filled.
