"Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school." ~Albert Einstein

       To tell you the truth, this wasn't the fist time I watched 2 Million Minutes, and this wasn't the first time that I didn't like the movie.  I find this movie inaccurate in it's perception on students in America and India, the two places on where I have visited or lived.  I think that the students that were picked for this movie were the most extreme cases in each country.  In the movie, the American students are portrayed as spending only an hour on homework, which I find inaccurate.  While talking to my peers, I know that we spend way more than an hour on homework.  Also it showed the study group happening while watching Grey's Anatomy, which I and some of my fellow peers do not do.  Also Indian students DO NOT study all the time.  When I go to India, my friends spend majority of their time outside playing with friends.  They are outside from 6:30 until 10:30 every day!  How do they spend majority of their time studying when they are outside with friends for 4 hours every day?

       I think that this movie does bring up a major point though, that the United States education system is starting to lack.  I think that in comparison to other countries, our education system is trying to help us for the future and instead of basing it on studies and education, it is trying to help us learn leadership and other important aspects to society.

        The audience for this movie, in my opinion, was educators, such as teachers.  I think this because throughout the movie it talked about how the USA students weren't educated properly, and the way education is passed along can only be changed by the educators.  The film makers try to connect to the audience by adding in extra information such as in India the way the food was eaten, or in America the football game.  This helps connect the audience because the movie is becoming casual and easier to relate to.  This is an effective way to connect to the audience because it helps the audience become closer to the key points in the movie without them knowing it.  The movie maker's purpose of this movie was to educate the educators on how the USA is falling behind on education.  The film makers use when techniques, mainly logos and pathos, to help persuade the audience in their argument.
