yes!! my flatmate said it was a nz doco and I didn't believe her until the end when it was undeniable cos the credits were nz. that little skater girl - '... and I feel good about myself...' while staring at the ground
I dunno. I'm going through a 'TV is all bullshit' phase. The skater's mum did come across as fucking scary but you never know, that little girl seemed strong enough to stomp her foot if she didn't like something. The chess guy was stoked, and the really precocious maths guy was relatively normal and had sensible parents. And who wouldn't enjoy composing their own pieces and playing them with by the Chch Symphony Orchestra at age 8?
I didn't see to much of it, although I know what you mean by feeling sorry for them for the pressure they get put under. Well some of them like the skater girl, and no doubt the musically talented girl.
However in saying that I kind of wish I was forced to persue things that I was naturally gifted at as a child, but for whatever reason, lack of interest of been to shy I didn't go ahead with it. My parents often insisted I persue things but if I really didn't want to they knew when to leave it.
but what might of been *goes into day dream like state*
I want to see gifted children revisted. Every ten years they should see what they're up to. That way you can also see their rebellious teens, their schizophrenic 20s, and finally their down and out alcoholic thirties.
yeah but one of the childs parents inisists on slowing down the learning process for their child so they wont miss out on anything....i think it was the mathmatics freak kid......he was real awesome...but i dont know if they should really do that because maybe the child likes working at the high rate hi's in. I dont know.. like the ice skating girl..she was hard-core... but i dont know if her mother helped in that departement either.
i did and that ice skater girl and the musician one are just plain trained freaks.
they have no life except for the out of school acitvities they do.
id hate to be like that.
i would never want to be a trained freak.
Of course it's an overload. Do they really like the piano, or ice skating? I don't think so. I think it's been forced down their fucking throats by their dickhead parents.
Took the words straight out of my mouth..although I commend the constant encouragement & support its a little 'over-doing'it'.
Thats how we have future up themselves little bytches & bastards.(Not all but most)
