As
we dawned into the third successful week of WIS SCINEMA we continued to explore
the most astounding scientific facts and also pondered on our role in
protecting our planet. At Witty International School we believe that Films can present
scientific fact in a compelling visual narrative and they have the potential to
open the minds of the students to the world around them. We aim to show the
world’s best internationally acclaimed documentaries and movies on the
unexplored parts of our planet.
Last
week we introduced the concept “Bring a friend” which turned out to be a
successful programme where we were happy to be a part of bringing about
scientific awareness in our society. So this week we once again invited guest
students from other schools all over Mumbai.
Last two weeks we had shown the
students internationally acclaimed documentaries so today in our festival we
introduced a science fiction animated movie “ WALL-E” with a beautiful central idea.
The movie took place a few hundred
years in the future, and the students first met a loveable protagonist WALL*E
(an acronym for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) as he wandered the
post-apocalyptic landscape of an abandoned city, picking up the trash left
behind by humans.
This movie made the students
reflect on the damages we are causing to our beautiful planet Earth. There were
scenes where we see that humans have become so commercialized and such slaves
of technology that even to get up from their place they need a robot to help
them. As humans we always feel we are on top of the food chain and ignore
environmental protection. So this movie warned us of the dangers we face if we
continue with our present habits and it promoted commendable values like
friendship, loyalty and moral responsibility.
