Went round Sarah’s to watch Renaissance Man on DVD this evening. The film is a story of Bill Rago, a well-educated advertising executive, who loses his job and through the employment office ends up teaching a bunch of Army cadets. Little does he realise he might learn something as well as the cadets. The film itself is a little cheesy in places, but the overall story hangs together. Bill slowly realises he should listen to what he is rather reluctantly teaching – to be true to himself. That, instead of doing something out of pragmatism, it might be more worthwhile doing something you are naturally talented at and so will enjoy as well as be good at. Through doing so finds he actually wants to teach, and is a much better teacher than advertiser. Worth watching.
