preserve childhood.....

i watched tare zameen par and welcome today..i didnt really intend to watch both movies today itself but couldnot help it when my roommate pushed me for welcome also immediately after watching tare zameen par...nonetheless the movie tzp was a good experience and welcome was a dead brain fun..my review or approval of the tzp may be called as having resulted from a bias towards aamir khan whom i regard as a great actor. this may be not be abolutely true since the movie doesnt have much of aamir and its mostly that kid who is pervading throughout the two and half hours of that movie. the young chap has done a great job by splendidly potraying a kid affected with dylexia(i dont know whether thats the correct spelling of that disorder...) and it really connects with you that character. needless to say that aamir is also very touching throughout the movie and he really makes us view this particular disorder as well as childs in general in a different perspective. he tells us that the bachpan is not after all only about marks and getting ahead in this rat race and taking this competitive world right from the beginning. we need to preserve this childhood and not allow it get lost in this mad race which the parents thrust on the kids. the movie tries to drive home the point that its time to get down with the kids and view this beautiful world with their eyes. we need to preserve that innocence, naughtiness, love, game and all those beautiful things which symbolises childhood.
