3 Idiots (Review/Critique Paper)

Three Idiots is an Indian film coordinated by Rajkumar Hirani. In this film, Aamir Khan played the focal
character Phunshukh Wangdu who assumes the personality of Ranchoddas Syamaldas Chanchad, the child of a
rich, compelling money manager to additional his investigations. Sharman Joshi played the personality of Raju
Rastogi, R. Madhavan assumed the part of Farhan Qureshi, Kareena Kapoor as Pia little girl of Viru
Sahastrabudhee played by Boman Irani. The film covers the pressing factor that advanced education
understudies face as a result of very good quality assumptions from their folks, schools, and resources. The
film illuminates the disadvantage of the current instruction frameworks which shows how understudies of
advanced education compelled to perform best in their examinations to accomplish great imprints for them to
find a generously compensated line of work after they graduate. Around there, the understudies resemble
being informed that life is a race, and you need to run quicker and abandon others. In this race, they begin
utilizing alternate ways to succeed. The film likewise shows the obliviousness of the guardians for their
assumption for their youngsters causes mental pressing factor and is not hesitant to face the challenge, at
times it is all right to disrupt the guidelines and follow your heart. This audit will in general clarify the passed-
on message of the film.

3 Idiots is a sort of excursion that recommends to the subjects that trustworthiness is the most
significant over all things and we all have our independence. This film was organized around an excursion
wherein previous school flat mates Farhan (Madhavan) and Raju (Sharman Joshi) get word that their old
opponent Chatur (Omi Vaidya) has tracked down their tragically missing companion which is the third imbecile
– Rancho. They race to the old grounds where they discover the slimy Chatur still suspicious about a bet, he
made 10 years prior. He just vowed to take them to rancho to guarantee triumph. In a progression of long
flashbacks, we effectively meet the youthful Rancho and we found out about the triplet's school days wherein
he tested show every step of the way, irritated the school straightforwardly to the place of franticness and
romanced his little girl, and propelled everybody to live with boldness and energy before he has gone. 3 Idiots
is significant to any individual who has at any point battled to track down their actual joy.

The creator's motivation is basically to give motivation and edify the watchers, particularly
understudies out there who were having a difficult time, stress, and discouraged in their investigation and
considered doing self-destruction that doesn't treat everything appropriately. Now and again, you should be
fun around very much like how to whelp Rancho is. Relax, all that will be turned well.

Learning is all over. Learning isn't just about being inside a study hall and tuning in to educators.
However, it's there all over the place. You simply need to get and develop with it. Numerous understudies
learn because they compel themselves to learn. Considering isn't just about getting high evaluations, being on
the top. The positioning isn't significant; position won't ever be the estimation of how keen you are and won't
ever characterize your prosperity. Rancho shows that you can learn outside the homeroom and having the
option to be effective not because you know it all. Achievement isn't just about being the number 1 or being
awesome. Achievement is knowing your motivation throughout everyday life, developing to arrive at your
most extreme potential and planting seeds that advantage others. Try not to fear disappointments. Assuming
you don't meet the assumptions for your folks, you'll figure out how to see the value in fresh opportunities and
attempt once more. Dread nothing, confide in yourself. It is OK to be somebody you truly and not somebody
your folks or society needs you to be. Be enthusiastic about the thing you are doing. Be consistently
imaginative, there is a scene in the film where Rancho fail to remember something inside the homeroom after
his teacher requested that he leave the study hall and when the educator asks him what he failed to
remember he addressed the importance of the book and his teacher admonished him for not noting basically.
Now and then, we ought not to gander at things hastily. Now and then, we need to go further.

 The film filled in as extraordinary diversion and the message is truly significant. It shows that difficult
work is significant, there is no alternate route to progress. Try not to get in a rush, each little advance in turn. A
great many people surge everything, move slowly. Appreciate school life, it's a troublesome stage, indeed, yet
stress less. You need to try sincerely and let achievement pursue you. Cause your enthusiasm to be your
calling; there are cases that the guardians are the person who picks the calling for their youngsters. Guardians
shouldn't do that; they should let their kids follow what they need. Guardians ought not to press factor their
kids with their lifeless assumptions. Allow them to pick what they love. Furthermore, ultimately, this film
shows that we ought not to be hesitant to attempt. Now and then, it is all right to disrupt the norms.
Individuals frequently will in general be glad doing what is unlawful. Appreciate life! At times, it is OK to fail to
remember the principles and laws. We are just live once; we should make every moment count. It is all right to
submit botches, however, remember the lessons you've learned. Follow your heart and know your restrictions.
Genuine is chaotic, you simply need to suck it up and endure.

"All is well" is an absolute necessity line we should have in our life. Continuously imagine that all will be
well, keep and stay positive. 3 Idiots was genuinely a rousing story. It features how hard the existence of
understudies are but then how might you face it. The characters in 3 Idiots confronted distinctive tough
situations however, eventually, they succeeded essentially because they accept "all is well" and they don't
surrender effectively on their fantasies which will be transformed into the real world. In this story, I reason that
on the off chance that you face a challenge to other people, all beneficial things will return to you and
regardless of how effective you are, simply stay humble and don't step on to others like you're a great
individual ever.

Bad Genius (Review/Critique Paper)

Lynn, a top secondary school student living with her father, is accepted into a prestigious school,
earning a scholarship for her academic achievements. There, she is befriended by the good-natured but
academically challenged Grace. Lynn begins helping Grace cheats in exams after finding out that their teacher
has been leaking questions in private tutoring sessions. She is then approached by Grace's rich boyfriend Pat,
who offers payment in exchange for also helping him and his friends. Although at first reluctant, Lynn agrees
when she finds out that the school took payments of "tea money" from her father, who earns a modest
income as a teacher. She devises a system of hand signals, based on certain piano pieces, and uses them to
send answers during exams. Her base of clients eventually grows. However, her cheating is inadvertently
revealed by Bank, another top student. She is reprimanded by her father and the school, which suspends her
scholarship, as well as her chance to apply for an international scholarship at the university level.

Lynn returns to the cheating business when Pat and Grace ask her to help them cheat in the STIC—an
international standardized test for university admissions—a scheme that will earn them millions of baht.
However, Lynn tells them that she can only do it with Bank's help, and honest, upright Bank would never join
them. However, Bank, who is from a poor family and is staking his future on the same university scholarship, is
incidentally attacked by thugs in the street and misses the exam. Lynn then approaches him with the offer and
Bank reluctantly agrees.

Together, they make preparations for the final operation. Lynn and Bank will fly to Australia to get a
head start on the exams, which are held globally on the same day, and send back answers for Pat and Grace to
distribute to the clients. However, on the eve of their flight, Pat lets slip that it was he who ordered the thugs
to beat up Bank, to force him to join their scheme. Enraged, Bank attacks Pat and leaves. Lynn, shocked at the
revelation, begins rethinking her actions. However, Bank returns to confront Lynn, telling her to finish what she
started.

In Sydney, Lynn and Bank complete the first sections of the test according to plan, but Bank is overcome
by anxiety and is caught. Lynn struggles to memorize the final section herself but finally pulls through. She is
pursued by the test administrator after feigning illness and leaving the test Centre early but is released when
Bank tells the staff he doesn't know her.

 Returning home, Lynn finds that their scheme was a great success, but, broken by the experience, turns
her back on her co-conspirators. Sometime later, she visits Bank, who has invested his share in revamping his
mother's laundry business. Bank invites Lynn to start a different scheme, this time with a much wider client
base—those taking the national GAT & PAT exams. She turns him down, telling him that she's made her choice.
Lynn finally decides to come clean, tearfully confessing to her father, who comforts her and helps her redeem
herself by submitting a formal confession to the
STIC organization. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Genius)

Cheating in school exams is an open secret. Almost everyone does it, but no one openly talks about it.
Thai director Nattawut Poonpiriya came up with a hip film "Bad Genius" that tackles this very sticky topic and
wound up with the highest-grossing film in Thailand this year, as well as the most profitable Thai film
distributed worldwide of all time so far. Aside from "Shutter" (2004) and "Pee Mak" (2013), it isn't very
frequent that we get a Thai movie in local cinemas, so this one promise to be good.

Lynn is a brilliant math genius and scholar in a prestigious high school. Her richer (but not so
academically blessed) classmates conscripted her to let them copy her answers during major exams by
tempting her with a generous fee of 3,000 baht per exam per person. When the time came for the
international-based STIC exams, Lynn called in her fellow genius scholar and competitor Bank for his incredible
memory as the stakes of their massive cheating operation were raised to reach millions of baht for both of
them.

Lynn was played by Chutimon Chuengcharoensukying, a fashion model who debuts as an actress in this
film, and what an impressive debut it was. A lot of excitement and drama also hinged on the charismatic
performance of Chanon Santinatornkul as Bank. They did not have typical teen-idol looks, but there was
unspoken chemistry between them, which was quite thrilling, especially on that scene on the pedestrian
bridge. The millionaire classmate Pat and his pretty popular girlfriend Grace were played by Teeradon
Supapunpinyo and Eisaya Hosuwan, respectively. They play typical rich brats who think money can buy their
way out of any situation. Thaneth Warakulnukroh played Lynn's father, a humble school teacher Vit, most
realistically and sympathetically. I identified with his painful frustration and unwavering support of his
daughter.

The story was told and edited in a very exciting way, like a heist caper. The elaborate plans even involve
Lynn and Bank flying to Sydney, Australia to get a four-hour head start on the exam answers to transmit to Pat
and Grace. I don't know if this is based on a true incident in the past but that final sequence alternating
between events in Sydney and Bangkok was very suspenseful. All possible thrill gimmicks were used to
enhance the tension during that climactic series of events.

Overall, the movie is a cautionary tale against dishonesty. At my age, it was uncomfortable watching
cheating shenanigans in school unfold on a big screen, but I am sure high school students will find it very funny
and entertaining, but I hope not educational in terms of techniques. A twist before the ending came gave me a
big jolt because of a shift in character which I did not expect and I did not like, but I admit that this change was
not completely implausible. Lessons about academic integrity will be taught here in this film, and I hope the
target audience learns it.

To oneself. What I've learned from this movie is that the love of a father is more than just provision and
protection. Whether we are a genius or a fool, we have a father who will always encourage us to choose the
right way. On the contrary, the absence of a father figure may cause us to be lured by a faster but darker way
to be recognized and live up to people's expectations. Unfortunately, this path would usually lead to
destruction. This movie sends a message that we rely on and care about a lot of money that we are likely to
make mistakes. If you guys decide to watch this movie, pay attention to the background, sound effects and
character development. It tells us not to judge people too quickly and that people can change for a good and
bad cause. I think everyone can relate to this movie because everyone used to be a student or is one now. One
thing that I dislike about the movie is the dearth of portrayals of extra-curricular activities in school. Being a
student is not all about studying but also about joining clubs, societies and just being out there. There are
more than just books and exams to a student’s life.

 As I watched the movie, I was in tears in some scenes (the actors playing Bank and Lynn are really
great) because it reminded me of painful experiences in school. I can relate a bit to Lynn and Bank, and I have
also felt that I was being 'used by some people, not for friendship, but some sort of personal gain. I liked how
Lynn said to Bank about the more popular Pat and Grace, "We're losers. We're not like Grace and Pat. We have
to work a lot harder." It was harsh, but it was true. In the adolescent high school world, it's the extroverts who
win, and most introverts just remembered having a hard time. The lesson I learned from this movie, cheating is
a fast remedy, but it will not solve the problem. In my opinion, it is better to fail than to cheat. The best
solution to your grades is actual studying and understanding your lessons in school. I'm really amused that the
people in the story had to go all through that when in the end studying for the exam is easier and less stressful
than a heist!

To the society. Many of us can relate to cheating, we all have done it at least once in our lives and I
think that is a huge factor in this film's popularity. Cheating in school exams is an open secret. Almost everyone
does it, but no one openly talks about it. One key lesson in this movie is how money makes the world go
round. We see how money motivates people, gives authority people and the most obvious one, makes people
greedy. Money is portrayed as the father of all evil as it is never used for something good in this movie. The
character development of Lynn and her counterpart Bank shows that people can change because of money, be
it clean or dirty. Another thing that we can learn from this movie is that intelligence is not everything. Having
good values and attitude is something that the working industry is seeking more than intelligence because
what is the use of knowledge if we don’t use it for good?

Knowledge is defined as the skills and information that is gained through experience or education.
There are endless things in the world that we can fill our minds with. We can explore the world and use what
we have learned to make daily tasks more interesting or easier. It is essentially one of the greatest tools for
success when used right.

I've heard of Bad Genius from my brother and his friend, it’s only showing in the Philippines recently, so
I watched it. I enjoyed it and I never thought a movie about an exam could be this suspenseful. The story is
about Lynn, a top secondary student who is introverted. Her father is a teacher who wants a better life for
Lynn, so he persuades her to a more prestigious high school against her wishes. She befriends Grace, a pretty
and popular student who's not that smart. Lynn helps her cheat in some exams so she can make her grades
higher to qualify for the theatre club. Pat, Grace's rich boyfriend, soon 'employs' Lynn to help them with their
exams. Bank, another top student, becomes Lynn's acquaintance when they both represented their school for
a quiz contest. Bank is not that rich; he lives with his mother, and they have a laundry shop but he aims for a
better life. Bank's honesty exposes Lynn.

So, I decided to share the life truths that hit me hard while watching bad genius:

Honesty is the best policy. But it can also screw yours and other’s life easier. When Bank reported his
classmate to the principal for copying Lynn’s answers during the exam, in his mind, he was just doing the right
thing. Little did he know that Lynn allows and earns from it. By telling the principal this, plus Lynn losing her
temper, it cost their budding friendship. Their school also disallowed Lynn from participating in the exam for a
college scholarship in Singapore, her father’s main dream for her.

Honesty is the best policy because it sets a person free. Free of guilt, responsibility, shame or burden.
However, one of the consequences of being honest is that it can potentially change a lot of things. Sometimes
for the better, sometimes for the worse.

Money can’t buy happiness, not for the long term at least. When Lynn started earning money from
helping her classmates pass, you can see the contents of her passbook consistently increasing. And then
there’s the scene where her father fits the new clothing from Lynn c/o her “piano lessons”. When Bank got his
share from the STIC scheme, you could see that their laundry business upgraded. No longer will Bank’s mother
wash the clothes by using hand. Having money does not guarantee a happy life. Lack of money doesn’t also
mean you have a miserable life. One thing money does? It helps you buy things, which may be a source of
happiness, only for a time. And only until you realize you have to continuously do what you have to do, good or
bad, just to earn it all over again.

 Grades don’t matter, but only until after you graduate. Lynn was able to enter the prestigious school
because of her excellent grades. Lynn and Bank were endorsed by their school for Singapore Scholarship
because they are smart. Pat, Grace and the rest of their classmates pay Lynn just to pass their exams, move to
the next grade level and secure a good university. It is true that bad or good grades will not determine how a
person will perform in the future. Just look at the Facebook profiles of your high school or college friends.
Those that are part of the cream of the crop may not have the highest salaries while those that barely scrape a
passing grade now have their own businesses. However, these scenarios happen outside school, in most cases,
after the academic years. As long as you’re a student and based on our current educational system, the school
has no other objective way to assess if you can proceed to the next level, without using grades.

Getting what you want is amazing until you realize it’s not what you need. When Lynn returns from
Sydney to Thailand, she was welcomed by Pat & Grace, both having successfully passed their STICs. They were
happy and excited especially since Lynn will be there to help them. Or so they thought. But then Lynn said,
“Even if I come with you, I would not be able to help you. Don’t you know? University questions are not
multiple-choice questions.” Panto the scene where Pat & Grace, with the rest of their classmates, celebrates
for passing the STICs with high marks only to realize mid-party that their high STIC grade is not a security for
entering their dream school. There are instances where we work so hard just to get what we want or what we
thought we need. By the time we got it, only then are we told that “No, it’s not what we’re looking for. Who
told you to get that?” Imagine putting so much effort into things, persons, and situations only to later realize
that you’ve accomplished close to nothing.

Cheating is wrong, but people do it anyway. Lynn earned a lot of money – at least 3,000 baht per
subject, per person every exam time. For the STIC level, Lynn and Bank got 2 million baht each, not counting
the share of Pat & Grace. Can you imagine how much money Lynn and Bank would make if they continued?
Bank’s laundry business took a 180-degree change, and they have just started. Whatever context is presented,
cheating is never right. But it doesn’t mean people shy away from doing it. In their exams, when they are
applying for work, our politicians in place, in relationships.

What may be known as universally wrong, is business for some people, a way of life. Because it never
stops when you get that first million, that first taste. It just goes bigger from there.

I want you to know that all of the above are not lessons I’ve learned from Bad Genius. These are all life
truths that we see, feel, experience and perhaps do. And maybe, that’s one of the things the movie wanted us
to see, realize and reflect about. These are all truths. But not all truths are good and not all are bad, and they
are just it, the truth. Another lesson we can take from this movie is that the end does not justify the means.
Both Lynn and Bank want more money to support their family, but their way of gaining money is dirty. It
promotes laziness and idleness among their customers. What is most important is that their customers may
never become smart as they rely too much on money to pass the exams. The grades they get are not theirs but
their parents’/the money’s.

10 good lessons you've learned from bad genius: Intelligence, like wealth, divide people into different
classes: those who are very lucky; those who are just lucky; and those who are unlucky; Cheating is like
prostitution. Some people do it for a living because life always cheats them. Yes, nobody's perfect but doing it
for the rest of your life is unacceptable; Those who have less in life tend to achieve more in school. But what is
more ideal is that many should get more in life and school; Education does not stop right after you finish your
exams. Education starts when you use in life what you learned from your exams; Success comes to those who
give their best. Those who chase failure, sleep on the bed of thorns; Your score in exams will define your brain
but not your heart. There are no exams for those who have big hearts; Cheating comes in many shapes and
colors. Cheat once but learn thrice; Universities value high grades more than learning; Don't mistake grades
with success. Grades are for schools. Real success happens after school and at the end of the day, it's better to
fail with honor than to succeed with lies.
