O Captain, My Captain!, Reivew on Mona Lisa Smile

just reminds me of. They resemble each other so much that the only difference seems to be the dominant gender of the movie. Both movies happen in single-sex schools while both teachers are not the right choices for these schools, because they are independent and rebellious but unluckily, for the schools, inspiring.
After watching, the first word jumped into my mind was “education”. Yes, it is an education. Only this kind of teaching is an education. We compare teachers to gardeners. But I don't think so now. The gardeners are more like nannies . Good teacher is no gardener at all, but the sun, the irreplaceable sun that influences the students by the warmth of sunlight. Just like Miss Watson and Mr. Keating in. In their education, knowledge is a byproduct. However, the way of thinking and the view of world and life are the main products. They don't simply teach the subjects, they enlighten the students. That is the way it should be.
Consider the meaningful endings of the two movies: young ladies ride bikes to follow the cab Miss Watson's in young gentlemen stand on desks reading Walt Whitman'sto say goodbye to Mr. Keating. What scenes! What significant scenes!
O Captain, My Captain! This is the way good teachers to be.
