The Road Home….4thSeptember 2008

Today, my class view a movie entitle The Road Home. It was actually a Chinese movie but with English subtitles. It was about a love story between a teacher and a village girl.. The story was told in the point of view of their son. Besides the love story, the story actually depicts the dedication of the teacher who came to the poor village to educate the village children. Although the village has no good infrastructure as his town, he did not mind it. He was dedicated to give knowledge that he has to these children. He even walks with his students back home. Along the way, he would play with them while teaching them. This shows his commitment towards his students. As a result, I can see that during his death ceremony, all his students came down from far and pay respect for him. They helped to carry his coffin along the way without any payment as they have high respect for him. This story actually could be applied to me as I’m going to be a future teacher. I see the teacher as my role model. He is very responsible and dedicated to his work. it shows that doesn’t mater where we are posted, we should have the responsibility of educating younger generation for the development of our country.
Overall I did not enjoy the movie although it was a very nice movie as the DVD stuck many times and at the end Carine have to stop the movie. I could understand the story line and I don’t find the pleasure view it as I don’t know the ending. Carine has promised that we would watch the movie next time again. I could not wait to watch the ending!
