The students watch the films posted by project teachers here and share their views, comments, drawings, and reviews with their partners in the page discussion thread below.

3. 'The Happy Prince' - 

The Happy Prince is a tale with multiple lessons. On one side it is the criticism of the society that can be cruel and heartless and on the other side, it is about the compassion towards humans' troubles.

The main character knew only about nice things and after that, he decided to open his lead heart to everyone in need. When he helped them he didn’t regret the decorations taken down from him and he keeps on doing noble things with the help of a swallow. The swallow was the proof that everyone can do selfless things even though they would maybe be risking their lives. His love and devotion were rewarded with eternal life.
