The Kindergarten Teacher

Today I watched ‘The Kindergarten Teacher’. I don’t want to spoil any plot but I found it’s message incredibly inspiring. What lengths are we willing to go to to keep language and art alive and talent thriving? The world we live in with social media gnawing at us at every edge and numbing our senses at every turn. It’s disgusting and intrusive but more than anything it helps us to be numb and even worse dumb. What hope does our younger generation have to grow up as individuals with individualistic thoughts, traits and talents when the world tries to crush them whenever it gets the chance. Please watch this movie, it is uncomfortable at times but the ending with Jimmy’s last words ‘I have a poem, I have a poem’ says everything that is important for us to remember. We are on the verge of losing something forever if our values as a collective don’t change soon.
