In a review about the movie, Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat say:(http://www.spiritualityandpractice.com/films/films.php?id=1015)
"As Good As It Gets is a shaggy dog romantic comedy. All its messages are worth taking to heart. Don't judge people too quickly. Never write anyone off. Even the weirdest and most irritating people are full of surprises. Everyone is capable of love."
What do you think about their view? Is it true that everyone deserves a chance? Can you remember any personal experience/s in which you were surprised by somebody you didn't think well of?
Write a comment in which you will express your own ideas and will also give an opinion about what the classmate who has written before you has said. I know! Everyone will try to be the first one! But.... the first writer will comment on the last student or anyone he/she chooses.
Deadline: August 24

ResponderEliminarWhy am I the first one in the day of the deadline?!!?!?
ResponderEliminarOk, I go along with the post. I'm sure everyone is capable of love, but this statement is too general. Capability itself doesn't assure facts.
I remember several occasions in which I prejudged people incorrectly and then realized they had interesting things to share with me. Anyway, it's kind of hard to approach the "understanding" (always incomplete) of a person without imagining things about them. I think this is a way of self-assurance, it's nothing new that we fear the unknown because we cannot control it.
hi!! In my opinion, all the time we judge people too quikly so I agree with the statement.
ResponderEliminarI cannot remember any personal experience right now, but I go along with what gigi said before, sometimes, I prejudged people incorrectly and then realized they were not as I imagined.That is why now, I try to know
people first and then judge them. I know, it is difficult to do this... but not impossible.
see you!!
Hi everyone! :)
ResponderEliminarAs I believe, judging people before knowing them is something that we have to avoid cause those judgments can lead us up a wrong path. So, I agree with what Candy stated. Human beings ALWAYS judge a book by its cover. Remember this guys? lol!
See ya...
Cinty :D
Nowadays, it is very common for us to form an opinion about someone without knowing his or her personality. For me, we should never judge a person by his or her appearance because, judging people can cause us to miss out great relationships.So, I completely agree with Cintia since we have to avoid judging men or women before having contact with them.
ResponderEliminarSee you!!! Luci...
Of course everyone deserves a chance! I totally agree with Luci in the fact that we can miss the possibility of having great relationships if we judge people too quickly. But I’m realistic and I know that’s never that easy…at least, we should try not to do it.
ResponderEliminarI don’t remember right now very well but…I used to do that, judging for example one classmate (when I was in primary school). Last year I had the chance to talk to her and I really got upset as she told me she was not feeling well at that time; her family had many economical and emotional problems, when we were kids. She was trying to call our attention, but we didn’t listen to her. I think kids usually do that.
We should take the chance...
Everyone is indeed full of surprises!
I agree with you Celi, judging people because of their appearence is a bad and cruel habbit we have. Don´t feel upset and sad. At least, life gives you the opportunity to listen to her and understant her. And, as you say, children usually do that more frequently.
ResponderEliminarPersonally, I think that all people deserve a chance in life although I know it´s sometimes hard to give a person a possibility if we don`t like their appearence.
That`s why, the message this film leaves us is really important and significant, for if we take it into account social life will be easier for everyone.
I forgot to tell you I`m Sofia Galoppo
ResponderEliminarSo far... so good!!! However, some people's comments are still missing.
ResponderEliminarGigi, remember that as you had the honor to be the first (je je), you still need to read your mates' writings and deal with it.
To tell you the truth, I love the blog because I learn so much about each of you!
Hello people!! I've read all your comments and realized that most of you aggre with the fact that we, human beings, generally judge people too quickly. It's difficult to explain why, but I think it's part of human essence.
ResponderEliminarAfter I judge people I realize it's a nonsense attitude, since almost always those people are quite different from what I had thought previously.
Anyway, everybody deserves a chance, of course, and that's the reason why I agree with Sofi.
see us!
Well, I think that, when we meet someone, it's impossible not to have first impressions, feelings, judgments, comparisons with known people, and "gut feelings", especially for "sensitive" or "intuitive" people. I agree with Sofia when she says it's a had habit to judge people from their appearance, but it's also true that in many cases, there's something about a person's looks that gives you a hint about his or her personality.

ResponderEliminarFrom my point of view, everybody has a sixth sense which tells you if you like certain people or not. It´s impossible not to judge people on the basis of first impresion.
ResponderEliminarI think it´s an inner characteristic of everybody, but not everybody is able to take a time to get to know with other people. This is something people have to learn to do.
I was the first one, so I have to say sth about omar's commentary.
ResponderEliminarOumarr, I go along with what you think about this capacity we have to "detect" that something (many times we don't know what)about another person may bother us. As you said is inevitable to "read" people with "objective glasses". Our whole life experience will condition the way we see the human being in front of us.
Finally, I, too, think that getting to know somebody requires time and effort, and that not everybody is willing to do that. But we all should, at least if we want real conections between human beings. If not, I think, it's senseless.
I agree with Nacho. It is absolutely impossible not to judge people, you can't stop yourself from thinking how the other person must be like. What is easier to do, is, being aware of the fact that you are judging, and that you can't help it, but,to be able to realize that the judgement you are making can, or cannot be true. We are never going to stop judging, but at least we can be open minded enough to not stop ourselves from knowing other people because of our judgments.
ResponderEliminardid I get my idea across? well, i hope so !.
