Human Dignity + Compassion = PEACE. That's Mr. Simon's (Ed Harris) award-winning four-word solution to world peace. Unfortunately, children are cruel, and there isn't even peace in his 1965 junior high classroom. "That's What I Am" is narrated by an adult Andy Nichol, who, as an awkward 13 year-old is popular enough that he gets bypassed by the bullies but he wouldn't want to jeopardize that by socializing with the outcasts.

This is just a coming-of-age story, but it's personal, based on a true story, and completely realistic that the lessons are meaningful, not corny. This isn't just about teenagers struggling with the awkward phases of life, or about playing up bullying for laughs, there are serious undertones to the maliciousness of kids. And it's all too real.
Mr. Simon is the best teacher in the state of California (and there are awards to prove it). He does what he can to bring peace to the world. He pairs up Andy with Big G, the tall, skinny red-head who gets tormented each day. Big G, however, doesn't let that get to him. That doesn't deter the bullies, but Big G has an inner strength that allows him to stay true to himself. Andy is inspired by that. And so am I.
It tries to teach tolerance and being true to one's self, but does so through a beautifully-told, coming-of-age story that is more adult in nature than juvenile. The events that occurred were real, and had serious implications to the well-being of society. It has taken society a lot longer to be tolerant than we would like; "That's What I Am" doesn't trivialize it but focuses on the personal, positive resolutions that the good characters come to. It's real, but we also get to see the Andys of the world get the girl. I like that kind of world.
I saw this movie at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. It was shown as their Centerpiece Film, a film airing only once and marking the mid-way point in the Festival. It told a wonderful story and highlighted a beautiful lesson in humanity. The characters were great! I especially loved the dynamic of the parents of the main boy in the film. They could not have been more opposite. The mother was a compassionate, open-minded critical thinker. The father was a traditional, stern man of the 1960's era. Ed Harris displayed incredible patience and Amy Madigan's role as the school principle was marvelous. Both of their roles really sucked you into the movie. I really hope that someone recognizes the value of playing this movie in schools and makes it happen.
