A MOVIE REVIEW

The Ron Clark Story

     The film called The Ron Clark Story has been released on the 13 of August in 2006. The genre of this film is drama and biography. The main character Ron Clark was played by the star Matthew Perry, who coped with his role perfectly. Ron Clark had a desire to move to New York and taught children from Harmlem, that is the setting of the story. 

     Let’s pass on to the plot of the film. Ron was the real life inspirational teacher who changed the lives of kids in Harlem. After a few years at a teaching gig, Clark made a drastic move and moved to New York. He had a strong desire to teach kids from Harmlem.  He was not received warmly. After some pretty nasty setbacks, the kids warmed up to him. The kids were finally able to see that Mr. Clark actually did care for them. He actually cared about them as people, and cared about their learning. The kids must now be prepared for the aptitude exams, which they had scored the lowest on for many years. Mr. Clark prepared them, believing they could truly do well. In addition to working as a teacher, Clark worked as a waiter downtown where he met a waitress. He fell in love with her. Finally, the children received excellent marks in the examination. 

     I want to pay special attention to the main character of the story. Ron Clark is a teacher from God. Ron Clark is an outstanding example of the underappreciated and underpaid teachers who quietly, selflessly ply their trade the world throughout. He is a model to follow for all teachers all over the world. He is an example of an ideal teacher. Matthew Perry is phenomenal in this role as Mr. Clark. The real Mr. Clark is an incredible person, and Matt really portrayed that well. 

     Also  I’d like to tell about the idea of this story. I quote: The problem isn't the kids. It's not even what they can achieve. The problem is what you expect them to achieve - Ron Clark. Everyone has its own features. The main aim of every teacher is to find these features and try to develop them.

     This film impressed me greatly. Ron Clark is an ideal teacher for me, he became my model to follow. And now I believe that there are no problem children, there are problem teachers and parents who can’t give all necessities for their children. Everyone needs their own approach and it’s very important to find it. After watching this film my desire to become a teacher is even more.
