Reflection Paper on the movie: “Teiichi no Kuni”
Who wouldn’t dream of ruling a country?
Everyone of us has dreams that makes us do anything, whatever it takes,
just to reach it. Teiichi no Kuni is a Japanese comedy movie showcasing the dark
side or dirty politics. It depicts the people who would do anything to get into
power. It’s a dark story of a power struggle among the people who take
advantage of anyone and anything in order to gain authority. The protagonist,
Teiichi Akaba, dreams of becoming a Prime Minister and someday rules his own
empire/country. It is what his father wanted for him instead of playing piano
which he is really good at.
Entering in a prestige all-male high school called Kaitei High School,
comes with high standards because Kaitei High has connections with political
circles which Teiichi sees as his stepping stone on achieving his dream, to be a
Prime Minister. Enable for him to achieve this, he (Teiichi) should first become the
room Leader and impress the student council with his intelligence for him to be a
candidate for President in the student council. The struggle is real in reaching his
goal, for he has competitors coming on his way which will test him on becoming
what he wanted since he was little. But our protagonist easily finds solutions on
those struggles and don’t hesitate to come to such means as bribery or distortion
of the truth and keeps on striving in achieving his dream, to be a Prime Minister.

Realizations in life
In reality, we will face struggles in life which might hinder us in achieving
what we wanted. It’s a matter of choice on how we handle things. Whether it is
in good or in bad ways, always know that there will be consequences on every
action that will bring goodness or bitterness. Striving hard on our dreams is good
especially you’re doing it in good way. Life can be tough sometimes but see it in
a positive way to make yourself tougher for you to be strong enough to
withstand what life may bring in the future and for you to get what you wanted
like Teiichi.
