Monsieur Lazhar

 

This is a French language movie. I kind a like the language and the movie is quite good. The story is centered mostly in a school, in Quebec, Canada. Oh yes, now I realized that Quebec in Canada uses French in their daily activities.

It starts with a scene which shows a suicide scene from a teacher, Martine LaChance. She died in her own classroom. The issue is afterward, how the pupils to face their schooling life in their classroom. Surely, there are high concern from pupils' parents as it quite emotional disturbance among them.

Then, came Bachir Lazhar, an immigrant from Algeria. He offered himself to the headmistress to become the substitute teacher for that particular class. Somewhat, the story is focusing on Lazhar, and his few students. Doesn't mean that other does not related but for a logical reason, but few of them like Alice, Simon, Boris, Vic and few others were mentioned  in such constraint time frame for a movie.

My interest in this story is because how an immigrant to blend with his new culture. Yes, fortunately, second language for most Algerian and Moroccan is French. So I didn't think it is weird for Bachir Lazhar which is fluent in French.

But, the true essence of this movie is the relationship between a teacher and students. In which the teacher is a substitute from previous teacher and surely there are many differences between them. Plus, it also potrayed how Bachir the substitute teacher help the students to come through difficult times, at the same time, he is also facing sadness in his life.

Enough said, a simple movie which doesn't give specific ending. Given us the opportunity to think what's next. Surely an art movie and does stimulate mind and emotion to the viewers. Please enjoy the movie. It is a nice movie. :)

Obvious, Only Now

I would be lying if I say that being bongsu [last child] is not fun. Generally, bongsu will be pampered all the time, not all, but most of it. Alhamdulillah, my life is great even being bongsu, all the time. I want to thanks and appreciate everyone especially my mother and all my siblings especially my sister. Thanx a lot. :>

But, as time pass by, I grow up. And I still feel that I being treated as a child. Worse, I think what I said are not considered as useful. It`s more like childish thought only. My words will not be a fact, and it just like whisper in the wind. It will not be accepted and it turn otherwise after being supported by others.

I`m tired being treated like a child. I really, really, really, really, really, really, and again, really want to spread my wing.
