VIDEO REFLECTION 2 / 3 IDIOTS

    

              I want to talk about one of my favorite films ‘3 Idiots’. I watched this excellent film for the first time when I was in high school. I guess I have watched it at least five times, but I have never felt bored. If one of my friends comes and wanst to watch it together I cannot refuse his or her offerJ.  3 idiots is an Indian film produced and played by Aamir Khan who is the most successful actor, director and producer. It is about the malfunction in the education system. Ranço who is played by Aamir Khan is the main character of the film. He is a lover of engineering, but he is object to the education system based on rote-learning. He wants to learn and be taught functional information and do not want to memorize some unneeded knowledge. He has two friend in the film ‘raju’ and ‘farhan’. Firstly, he wants to make them aware of the fact and, they understand the aim of Ranço and appreciate him. The message that the film is trying to give us is told in an entertaining way. There are also saddening scenes on the film and they are perfectly blended. Actually, the reason why I like this movie so much is the fact that the system in the movie is so similar to ours. We are supposed to learn and memorize things without knowing their real meanings and usages like a race horse. The movie precisely tries to make us aware of this fact.

I chose this video because it is the most related one to main point that I want to mention about. In the video the teacher is symbolizing the rote-learning education system and he wants his students to define the meaning of machine. Ranço tries to tell about its useful and understandable meaning, but the teacher are furious with him because he is used to hear animal-like answers. I like so much this scene of the movie because of the answer which Ranço gave to the teacher. I also like the way he expresses himself .He makes me laughJHe thinks that it is not adequate to memorize definition to know something. It is necessary to know what it is and how it is used. Actually, we are faced with same the situation in our education process sometimes, but instead of criticizing we did whatever the system requires us generally. I want to be a teacher to end all these mistakes.
