The Film

Overall, the film in my opinion was alright. My interpretation of the film's argument was that he attempted to send a message of doing something with our fortunate opportunity to go to college. He wants us to take any opportunity we can to help anyway we can. Personally, I do not feel the film was very effective. To me the film had elements of pathos, but didn't go the best of jobs. He spoke about the poverty and the less fortunate which pulls at anyone's heart strings, but it seemed empty and nonconvincing. It could have been because I've seen similar stories before, and this one lacks any creative edge to have it stand out. I guess that would be flaw of the movie. Overall, I'm glad that there are people who care and want to educate others, but I just thought the presentation could have been better.
