My "personal" contribution to our class film was helping Victor (our writer) come up with a screen-write and shooting the scenes myself. I honestly didnt trust any others to hold the camera because i felt i could do a better job, which i did. It was pretty smooth and clever the shots.
My analysis of the message found in the film was that by striving to reach out to the troubled students, using already clique savior/teacher techniques found in popularized movies, he was unsuccessful in connecting to the individuals. if only he resolved to creative ideas and never before seen moves could he have been successful in gaining their trust.
Although, compared to such movies like Dangerous Minds and Freedom Writers, Andy's mediocre acting skills within the classroom didnt demonstrate a non -hostile environment. Unlike the other films, the students managed to remain unsaved, and the teacher fails and sinks even lower.
The connection between salvation and education/schooling in our culture is that the students are placed into a classroom and given this teacher who is supposed to teach them and rub knowledge and wisdom onto them. Students who do not take into their lessonplan or whatever agenda they have going on, is automatically seen as an oddball to the teacher(s) and is labeled. Even a great school full of nothing but great kids, MUST have an unsaved. There could be a student who gets good grades but not as good as the rest, he MUST be restraining from the teacher's lessonplans, a troublemaker he must be. Thats ridiculous. In our culture, we are typical loose-cannon teenagers that set fire to the next adult living under rules that walks through the door. Its the typical movie settings i blame -__-
