A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world – Oscar Wilde
A mixture of emotions and impressions are carried away from watching one of the more sensitive movies made in the last decade – Taare Zameen Par. My emotions at this moment are an interesting collage of a variety of images ranging from the wonderful memories of boarding school blues, the quintessential english teacher, the inspiring arts/extra curricular teacher. A strong emotional bonding with the home away from home, saying good bye to mom when she is leaving you with tears in her eyes, the friendships made help u last through testing times…..The struggle to fit into the archetype of a good boy – potrayed beautifully by the elder one whereas all you really wanted to be the carefree younger one.
But lets leave that aside and talk a bit about Oscar Wilde and his impressions of cynics. - ‘The cynic knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.’ Aamir Khan very aesthetically shows his creative talent by making a truly sensitive potrayal of a suffering child. Throw in a bit of Oscar Wilde and you have a class act very tough to follow. A fitting foundation for his criticism of the darkness potrayed in black by Mr. Bhansali.
He was always a class act but in his first directorial venture, he has taken his own lofty standards off into the hallowed territory. As a genuine fan of is creative talent, hats off.
