#9. Movie: The Great Debaters.

Oprah Winfrey and her production have produced a great inspirational movie that based on a true story called “The Great Debaters”. This interesting movie that kept my eyes wide opened when I was watching it actually is about Willey College debate team who participated in the first collegiate interracial debate in the United States. Honestly saying, after I watched this movie, I felt like I just got out from a small box in my mind and my thinking style opened wide. I can feel the courage and braveness in me after watching this heart touching movie.

As a communication student, I felt so lucky to watch this movie as it exposed much on communication skills and how to gain high self-esteem. One thing that most important in this movie is it thought me the meaning of the real teamwork and how to appreciate each members in a group.

This is one of the picture from the 
program that I had joined, even kids joined it.

Based on my experience, I used to participate in a 6 months program that focuses on confident level when I was in form 5. In that program, I learned how to talk in high tones of voice and how to not  to be shy in front of the large audience as I was presenting my finale activity on the stage after the interesting 6 months in front of 1000 audiences in Kuala Lumpur. I had practiced my vocal cues before the finale by screaming many simple words as loud as I can while looking straight to the high tree that standing in front of us with my group members with our strict guider's observation. Actually my group members and I presented the treasure of Kuala Lumpur that we found in many ways of speaking that mixed with some arts. This memory came back to me after I watched the scene where the Willy College debate team shouted as loud as they can toward their teacher that located in a small boat at a lake to get the best in their tones of speaking and get the best for the tournaments later.

Moreover, I was so amazed by many educational quotes that have been exposed in this movie by the actors and the actress. They shared many hidden meanings from the quotes used by them .I have to admit that I used my critical thinking skill a lot when I watched this movie as the words and sentences used were more to old literacy style and so deep in meaning.

For my last word on this movie, I think this movie not only exposing on how to get good communication skills, but it also thought us that each of us living in this world will surely experienced stereotype treatment from others, so it is important for us to be brave and try as hard as we can to achieve triumph and victory in life even no matter what colour your skin is. I love this story so much and I hope to watch it again next time if I get the chance.
