Perspective on the movie Wit When I watched the film “Wit” at first‚ I became curious to the reason why it was entitled “Wit”. The overall plot of the story seems so simple but there are a lot of twists which become clear as the story unfolds. In the latter part of the film‚ I realized that it has been given the title wit because in the end‚ Vivian recognized that what is more important than intellectual learning is the human compassion that she gets just when she needs it the most.

and good for her. This movie has a cliché story line‚ but I don’t think that it was a bad movie‚ as it is a true story. I think that more stories like that need to be told‚ even if they do have a sappy ending. Also this movie was a little slow-paced and redundant.

This movie has been done too many times and I would not waste my money to see something that I’ve
