Detachement
29 July 2012
We watched this movie thinking it would be a sort of dramatic view or portrait of general schools in US today. To our great surprise, we were submerged breathless, deep inside a personal tragedy and national state of education in US of A.

We were expecting to see some prejudice. As it is accepted as a normal tendency in US to presume every single male in presence of younger children or relation between teacher and student, the adult being a potential child molester or someone with sexual intentions! Unfortunately as we were expecting, we were served in some point against the main character.

We got an overview of the political and sociological corruption of the education system in this country through an example of a public school with stupid parents and children spoon-fed to all sort of advertising propaganda.

Today shareholders, total number of sales and percentage of profits are scattering a dark veil on the education system of a country and its future generation. A country being the most powerful country in the world having the power to influence the future of the others.

Now, if they start to grow up under a corrupt propaganda and dumb-down mainstream media and political system, what hope can the future generation hold on to? 10 minutes of glory on a cable TV show, singing? Ironically it seems after 70 years we have learned nothing from the history and recent WW II with hundreds of thousands of hours of documentaries and movies.

It is a dark feel-good movie which at the end you won't feel neither satisfied nor hopeful in the future of this failed system and country. Can you trust and count on your fellow citizen disregarding his/her cultural/belief difference creating a better future for your descendants? (é_è)
