Thank You For Smoking Movie Review

Mr. Nick Naylor was a lobbyist about a smoking campaign. He encourages everyone, including teens to smoke because he believed that smoking was not the responsible on number of deaths around the world. He was a separated man who lived alone on his apartment. He has a kid who he sometimes bring during his trips.

I wasn’t sure on how he actually encourage people to smoke. Because many people will despise him on what he is and will going to do. But he just always shrugged his shoulders about those things because all he wanted on his mind was to earn money and convince people.

He has two friends, if that is what they were thinking. The woman was a lobbyist about alcohol and the other man was on the field of firearms. They were seeing each other once a week.

The thing I liked about Mr. Nick Naylor was he always do what he think is right. The first thing I liked on his dialogue was when he taught his son on how to write an essay. We don’t literally need to write what was actually the topic, rather think about out of the box. The second one was when his son asked what if he was wrong about the things he think he is right. He just said, “If your job is to be right, you will never be wrong.” The third was his character on speaking. He has all the supremacy to give the people the idea that there is nothing wrong of what he is doing. The fourth and the most was how he handled everything right. He defended what he thought was right, especially the point of view of his captain.

I just don’t like the idea that a reporter used Mr. Naylor to get a scoop about why he is campaigning cigarettes. She sold sex to earn money. She disrupted the media.

On my part, when I am watching the movie, I thought about what if I try smoking? I just wanna try if some things will change on me. But I cannot because my brother will surely hate me.

I read everywhere and I heard a lot about this line: Cigarette is dangerous to your health. Doctors know that, so do every member of the family. But why they continue to sell cigarettes? Because of the big tax on every pack of it? And one thing, I saw many nursing students smoking during their breaks on Recto. It’s very ironic because they were the ones (a part of them because they were the family of doctors and scientists and chemists) who said smoking is the main reason on lung cancer and other diseases.

Back to the story, I was convinced on how Mr. Nick Naylor do his job. He was a well-speaker, well-informed, he knew every detail of his job, his campaign and everything about smoking. Before anyone could actually do a thing or two, he should know first its ups and downs, strengths and weaknesses, faults and correctness and its responsibilities on every word and move he make so that when he are on the lights, no one and no word could ever bring him down.

At the penultimate of the story, Mr. Naylor didn’t came back on his job even if he had defended all of his issues. LOYALTY should come first from the people we respect and admire the most. But his Boss doesn’t qualify faithfulness. He is a hard-bitched boss.

Even though I wasn’t convince of smoking, at least I realized the fact that smoking is not the major source of deaths around the world and I was informed about a person’s choice. Because first things first, when you do a thing, it is your choice. There are only people who motivates you, there are only place that influences you. But on top of all, you are the story-maker of your own timeline.

HRDM students like me should be inspired on how to talk and convince others. We should have a pack of authority to do and say what is right. We should light up the stick of confidence to what we are going to do, because it shows how persistent we are. We should taste both failure and success, because without failure, there is no thing such as success. And finally, we should blow the smoke of knowledge and learning to everyone so that they can smell what we know about the things we think is right and perhaps could share it with the second-smokers or non-smokers all over the world.
