In hopes of keeping kids' attention, some films would often use supernatural elements to make their points. In this film, we see a magic talking mirror that reflects bratty kids as clowns. Most of the misbehaving kids understand how their behavior is disruptive and make amends. Surprisingly, one kid doesn't care if he is a "clown" and continues being selfish probably for the rest of his life. This film manages to be funny, sad, touching, and scary - and definitely food for thought. The concept behind "If Mirrors Could Speak" is a brilliant one - a great application of introspective examination. A talking mirror shows some troubled kids their reflections as clowns, then helps them help themselves by coming to terms with their behavior and emotions in order to build a positive self image. One by one, the kids' clown faces disappear as their positive true selves come out. Of course, one kid, George, is not moved by his reflection in the mirror. His clown face remains, and the viewer is left with the impression that he will be a clown - and probably a sociopath or criminal - for the rest of his life. Creative Commons license: Public Domain.
