Movie Reviews of Paper Clips
Movie Review: An Amazing Video and an Amazing place!
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this video on HBO, then I bought my own copy, next I was on a trip down south and I went to Whitwell, TN to see the museum. I got there on a Sunday. I stopped at a gas station to ask directions and they sent me to the police station to get the key and a tape recorded tour. I spent about 90 minutes in the exhibit. It was so quiet, almost sacred. The story changed me in some ways. I look at things differently. And visiting the site and actually seeing what they have done there, and how it has grown (they have added a sculpture and are reaching out to other schools and children) was amazing! I highly recommend this video, and the trip!!!!!!!Movie Review: Get more than you bargained for
Summary: 5 Stars
There is a terrific DVD which poignantly describes how a rural Tennessee Middle School engages in a project to instill a sense of diversity by teaching kids about the Holocaust. They never expected to affect so much of the life of the town, gain such a deep appreciation of the lives affected and the international involvement they earned. The lesson learned was the need to fight indifference and intolerance. A beautiful scene was the admission by a couple of Washington Post reporters that they had to get past their own deeply seated prejudices against rural southerners and discovering the love that filled their souls.
Enjoy this wonderful story.
Movie Review: Learn from the past
Summary: 5 Stars
I see a few have written that they feel this film was good but felt the survivors should have been able to talk more. As much as I agree with that they have to remember that this film is about helping those children understand the Holocaust and the numbers involved. This was about a road of learning the children took. Very moving and well worth watching and having children watch. I suggest watching it with your child and not expecting them to get all the answers from the movie. Sit, talk, and answer their questions after so they understand and know they can ask you for more information about this sad time in human history.
Movie Review: Paper Clips: A must see film for all who care about not only educating children, but changing their lives forever
Summary: 5 Stars
PaperClips is a true story about the Principal of a middle school in a small, rural, farming community in Tennessee. Fully aware that most of the children have had little exposure to world history, and in particular, the Holocaust, her dream is to find a teacher who would be willing to devote the year to the study of this subject. When a teacher steps forth, both she and the Principal discover that the children are sensitive, responsive, eager to reach out to survivors, and to create a memorial to all who lost their lives because they were Jewish. The story is spellbinding and uplifting, reflecting teaching at its' very best.
Movie Review: Everyone must see this one
Summary: 5 Stars
There have been very few movies that have moved me to tears and this one has topped the list. If you have any preconcieved ideas about this film before you watch it, just forget them. This film is totally unique and has no comparison to anything ever done on this subject before. When it's released for sale to the general public, you can be sure I will purchase it to show my friends who had missed it while playing in the theaters.
I know this review has told you next to nothing about this movie and it was intended that way to help spur you on to seeing it for your self and I hopoe you will.
