The Film “Etre ed Avoir” or “To Be and to Have” DVD NYV 023 is perhaps the cutest film in our collection. This is as a result of our not having “Milo and Otis” which is the trump card of cute films. The film revolves around George Lopez, a teacher in a one room school house, and his students. The reasons it is so darn cute are as follows:
-The children, 3-11, are French and consequently speak French. Thus cuter being that is a well know fact that children speaking a language other than your own is cuter than children speaking your language. French speakers fear not these kids are cute enough on their own and do not need the heightened cuteness.
-One of the kids name is Jojo.
-One of the kids name is Axel.
-Lopez talks to the kids like they are adults.
-Kids driving tractors.
-When the kids are sledding one of them runs into another in a cute way not in a sad way.
-In the extras the children recite poetry. Cuteness ensues.
All cuteness aside this is a beautiful documentary about a wonderful teacher who is sure to inspire all those who work with kids especially those in the teaching field.
