The movie "Good Willing Hunting" portrays the story of a genius young man, but the story itself does not entirely devote its cinematic theme to its prodigy. The movie may be interpreted as a satire that no matter how prodigious we might be or carry an exceptional quality than those around us, if we don't have such a "unity" that allows us to be a human who knows what it means to be a human being, not only would we not be able to take advantage of such merits, but we also would not understand why we have to exist at all.
The writers of this film emphasize the importance of "the unity" that brings one's honour, respect and personality to an accord and also view the changes in one's inner self as the answers to all the problems in the present education. Although Miss Song and Mr. Kim share different views about this all -the former agrees and the latter has his voice against it, I subscribe to both points of views for I believe that our present education system must go through a transit from its present state--, a virtual factory that breeds what they believe to be an intellectual to a new method of teaching and learning in which self-reflection, know-how to self-criticism and better understanding of one's life gets the highest priority and that we all need to change the way we view life so that we can see it all changed.
First of all, I agree with the opinion that the main goal of education is to bring up persons of wholeheartedness. As mentioned earlier, the scenes of Professor Lambeau, who toils to get the best of the newfound genius, Will Hunting, in the movie "Good Will Hunting" offer many instances and may mark some good impressions on the audience. Professor Lambeau teaches Hunting, who has lost all confidence in others and lives in the world of anxiety and pains, not just knowledge, but helps him through his ordeals so that he could realize what he wants to do in life and also what it means to be free. The fact that someone intelligent and gifted as Hunting is oblivious of himself is a reflection of our own students who have been bred by the present education system. To grow up a person who knows the meaning of a true human heart, one needs to build a bond that brings us closer together from the first encounter to continuing relationships in which we are able to learn to trust one and another and to be positive about our life and to build self-esteem.
Putting this all again, an individual who is unaware of the meaning of self-existence does not realize how important it is to know what he is capable of and what he is doing; self-awareness srpings from one's self-esteem and trust and channels through one's response and understanding of neighbours and community and, furthermore, helps him realize the true meaning of life with a unique heart for one's existence. In order to have the present school system changed, it is necessary that each one of us need to be changed in terms of the way we view our life. Though two of my classmates have negative opinions and have some points that I go along with, I am not of the same mind as they are. Of course, I recognize their assessment that an organization and an individual cannot be separated as long as we live under the influence of an organization. However, when it comes to problems in education, I am convinced that the need for adjustment of how we view things should get the priority over the changes in an organization. A transition in an organization, so to say the ministry or the board of education, might lead to a faster change in school system and curriculums, but such a change would not last long unless nothing is done to change what we have long thought or believed and done. If there is a change in the minds of an individual, no matter what kinds of systems we might be under, there will sure be a clear sign of change in the education system.
Humans are never born to have the likes of a machine that only knows how to gratify the needs of society and its culture and response to the temporary patch over what they have suffered. We all need a certain amount of free wills to be able to live as what humans need to live in order to learn new things and do as we are taught as well as being aware of why we exist.
