ACTIVITY 1.

Bad Genius is a Thailand film released last May 3, 2017 directed by

Nattawut Poonpiriya. This film has 4 genres; Drama, Thriller, Comedy and
Crime film. A type of movie that anyone can relate especially students who are
is high school.
My favorite character in this film is Lynn, a top secondary school student
who got accepted in a prestigious school and earn a scholarship because of her
achievements. Many of the student will say that Lynn is their favorite character
because of her intelligence and so do I, but the reason for me is Lynn uses that
intelligence not for her friend Grace and its boyfriend but also to help her
father who earns a modest income as a teacher.
Upon watching this film, one of the messages I conclude is that
intelligence is not everything, it is all about having good attitudes and values
that will lead you to success. Some may also use you because of having it,
some pretend that you are their friend but in reality, they are just using you for
some personal gain. Money makes the world go round; it makes people greedy
like what Bank did at the end of the movie. He threatens Lynn for exposing
everything if she would not agree to what Bank want. Money makes people do
wrongdoings, it can change people, either clean or dirty. And lastly, honesty is
really the best policy, it shows us that succeeding with wrongdoings doesn’t
make us really succeed, that it is better to fail with integrity and dignity that
succeed because of lies, it run after us as we grow, and conscience will chase
you every day and night.
Different scenes in this movie happen to every student most of the time
especially during exams and also daily quizzes. Students tend to cheat in order
to pass, Students often tell “tulungan, walang iwanan” and it includes cheating
in class, and if you do not agree with it, some of your classmates may back
stab you and tell random things such us “madamot, KJ, pabibo, and sipsip sa
teacher” and for us not to get this words, students cheat. Cheating in class and
being used by a so-called friend often happen us, students.
If I was given a chance to write the screenplay, im going to change the
ending by showing all the consequences of what everyone did. Im going to show
if passing or succeeding the exam would make a difference.
