HUMAN ACCEPTANCE (ACCEPTED)

Truly I tell you, if the message of this movie is put into practice there will be a change for the better in the world. As the title of the movie goes ‘Accepted’, I totally agree that this is THE thing that we look for when we are in a society along with the feeling of being great or a person who is important. This movie begins with a good family scene and slowly goes on to show how the son is rejected admission by all the colleges in the vicinity. He tells his parents of many other options which would not only save their money but also add to the income of the family because he would                                                            be working.

His parents reject this idea and tell him that it is the custom in the society that all should go to college. He is tensed, he gets the help of his friend to make a fake college website and get a temporary college residence. In the meantime many get accepted in this college and he is confused with the situation and doesn’t know what to do. He tells the students the whole truth. He accepts them in his so called college. He gives them the freedom to make their own syllabus and learn by allowing their creativity to take charge of themselves. The original college by which this college was named after sues him and takes him to court.

In the court there is an exchange of words or a kind of a debate where both the parties discuss about the true meaning of education. Many accusations were made against this young boy. He was not the least concerned about all that. He said that they didn’t need the approval of the court because it wasn’t that which made them so creative.

Finally the court gave in to their cast giving them a trial of 1 year to see how they are faring. According to me this system of education was approved because the court saw that they were not only learning basics but also becoming creative in the bargain. Creativity today is a rare artifact, we are used to doing things like robots that are ordered or programmed. We still have hope because we have the greatest power of self- confidence to bring to light what our creative mind imagines. Let go of your old routine habits and get out into the open to allow yourself to be creative.
