What's more important? Being the best? Playing just for the fun of it? Trying to be somebody else? Well, this movie makes you ask these questions. Being a kid is fun. Isn't it? Having fun is important. At least with sports and games it is. It's amazing how when you become an adult you seem to become more competitive, than when you are a kid, it's just for fun. To me this movie shows, it's not so much the talents/skills you have (even though it sure helps), it's your attitude towards them. This kid didn't hate people, he loved them."Just a game" can form a pattern in the way we see life. He loved people. So he even gave someone a chance. He was willing to share the championship with another. Too bad the other kid just didn't see that. Games and sports can either teach us good sportsmanship, team work, and fair play or competiveness, got to win attitude, cheating znd just being plain aggressive. By the time i finished watching this movie, I was thinking good for this kid! Not only did he do well in chess but other games and even sports. However, through it all he remained humble, loving, and kept a good attitude, consistant with his true character. |
