Movie review – personal anecdote
The movie clip showed what people do without any bad intention can actually be harmful to others. The boy ties a small rock around fish, frog, and snake for fun. He didn’t notice that it can be detrimental to these animals. However, after the monk does the same thing to him, he realizes that it is a great pain, but it was too late.
Until middle school, I made jokes with other people’s weakness and complex just to be funny. I didn’t realize that they felt ashamed and terrible because they also smiled at my joke. One day, a friend of mine began to tease me with my acnes and all the other boys in the class laughed at it. I felt greatly insulted but I didn’t know what to do except having some bitter smile on my face. Surely he didn’t made the joke to teach me a lesson, but he taught me a lesson that my careless words can actually hurt other’s feelings like a monk in the movie teaches little monk what animals would have suffered.
It was too late the moment I realized it, since I can’t pick up the words that were already spoken by me. I regretted what I did and never made such joke again.
It is very important to think in other people’s position when I do certain things. You should always consider what I would feel if I were in the situation. The Golden Rule is a maxim states “One should not treat others in ways that one would not like to be treated.” By always keeping Golden Rule in mind, you can avoid mistakes you probably can’t fix , that you would greatly regret later on.
Every teenager has had at least one facial blemish become someone's joke. Even parents do it sometimes. Teenagers, especially, can be cruel, and it's one thing I was happy to leave behind as I got older. Nice personal anecdote to match the context of the video (which, sadly, is missing).
