Reaction to Mona Lisa Smile

Mona Lisa Smile is kind of an odd movie. Although it had a lot of my favorite actress' in it, it's a movie that didn't really capture my interest. I feel like they tried too hard to make the teacher look like she changed those girls lives when in reality, I feel like she didn't do a WHOLE lot. Now, I'm not saying she didn't do anything, because she did, but from what I saw I didn't see a whole lot. To me, the movie was more just about their lives and all the drama that was happening in them. I wouldn't strike this as an incredibly touching movie. Now, it was a good movie overall, it just didn't strike me as a movie about a teacher who completely changed her students lives. Did she make an impact? I'm sure she did. But it didn't occur to me that these girls' lives were totally changed and influenced by Mrs. Watson. I'm not bashing on the movie, it's just my personal opinion.
