तारे ज़मीन पर

It is dangerous to constantly pass judgments on people around us. It's an all pervasive phenomenon, which makes it hard for people to even realize they're even doing something wrong (the crowd effect). The way we way we compartmentalize everyone as good/bad, capable/incapable, achiever/non-achiever etc. is a brutal silent crime according to me. Even more so when the victim is a kid, who ends up adopting this as a way of life! I don't really have any new point of view to share here. I think enough has been said about this matter.

However, it's the first time I've seen someone managing to put forth this point so effectively and beautifully, using attitude towards the dyslexic child and his consequent responses as the manifestation of this deeper problem. This is why I think everyone should watch Taare Zameen Par.
