| ����������� This film takes place in Spain in 1936.� During this time period, Spain was recovering from into Civil War. Hilter and his army were posing a threat to this newly found democracy. This movie shows a relationship between a seven year old boy and his school teacher.� This young boy's name is Moncho. He can read but ears starting school because of the stories he hears about children getting beat.� His close relationship with his teacher starts when Moncho runs home after embarrassing himself in front of the class.� Moncho's teacher is named Don Gregorio. Gregorio introduces Moncho to the world of nature and to a world of butterflies. These butterflies have no sense of war or disruption between each other, they only know that they are on earth for a little while and will enjoy the time that they have. This is the lesson that Gregorio tries to teach Moncho.� This movie shows Moncho coming to terms with the changes in his life. | |||||||||||||
| ����������� From this movie, I see just how hard change can be.� In this movie, we see life during the recovery period after the Spanish Civil War.� Moncho not only have to change for school but also had to change to cope with changing times.� He also needed to cope with the hard times in his country. Change is difficult for anybody.� For a seven year old boy, school can be a durastic change. I know how hard change can be for most people, and this movie helped reinforce my idea. Overall I thought this movie was ok. Although it was not one of my favorite movies. | |||||||||||||
