I am thankful to have friends with goals and motivation, and I’m going to choose my friends wisely next year as I venture off to University.

In my life, even in the most helpless times, I’m reminded to control what I can control and make a situation better little by little. To conclude, “The Way” has opened my eyes to the importance of others on any journey through…

It is a glimpse into how differently a father would raise his children if given a chance to do so without interference or boundaries. It reminds us that once parents learn to listen to each other instead of fighting with each other during divorce proceedings they will finally come around to doing what is best for their children. The movie introduces the viewers to the changing dynamic of the American family. Mothers are no longer stay at home moms who simply tend to children and cook meals. These days women like Miranda Hillard (Sally Field) are career driven heads of industries. It is also not uncommon these days to find a stay at home dad like Daniel Hillard (Robin Williams). The problem with this situation is that even though mothers bring home the bacon, they are still expected to come home and perform their wifely and motherly duties. Something that society has not once, throughout the history or marriages expected from the husband and father. Such a situation indeed takes its toll on any marriage and weakens the foundation of the…

This movie is unique because it takes place with the same setting throughout and yet the characters are so well developed. The character development and perceptions have a vital role in the underlying message and theme of the movie. Claire is the “princess.” She is the rich, well-to-do, pretty and popular girl. Andrew is the “athlete.” He is the state wrestler and jock that appears to be tough and strong. Then, Brian Johnson, “the brain” is the peaceful smart guy who fears making poor grades. The “basket case” is Allison Reynolds. She speaks seldom and has a bizarre style. Lastly, the rebel is John Bender. He is “the criminal” who seeks opposition. He is a bully with an insubordinate attitude towards the principal, Richard Vernon.…

The film captures the interest of the audience because the screenplay is realistic. It is mostly about students’ life and anyone could relate to this because everyone have experienced or are experiencing being a student.

Also, we can compare most of the students to Chatur who pressures themselves to study to get high grades, to get a degree, and to have a career in the future. On the other hand, Rancho showed the characteristics of an ideal student who study because of their passion for learning. The setting, costumes, and props are also appropriate and these helped in making the movie realistic as if it really happened in the present time.…

The College and the hostel scenes were filmed at Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore, although the fictional "Imperical College of Engineering" depicted in the movie is situated in the city of Delhi. The ragging scenes were shot in the girl's dormitory and the resident girls saw the whole scene (not shown). The actors admitted feeling uncomfortable while getting undressed to their underwear in front of them and getting their buttocks stamped. Aamir Khan's character Rancho says in the movie that people study engineering, then management, and then become bankers, so what is the whole point of studying engineering. This is exactly what Chetan Bhagat (the author of 'Five point someone', the book from which the movie has been adapted) did. He studied engineering from IIT, management from IIM, and became a banker.
