American Hero Series:
Lewis & Gilbert
Revenge of the Nerds is one of my favorite movies. It taught me about tolerance and acceptance, as Lewis & Gilbert (the main characters in the film) were fighting a society that shunned them simply for being "nerds."
They, along with their fraternity of other nerds, fought for equality and for their dignity. In the end, they succeed triumphantly with a little help from their fraternity brothers from around the country coming to protect them. It. was a beautiful ending to the film, where those that have been discriminated against pull together and achieve acceptance from their community.
The lesson Lewis & Gilbert taught the audience "to stand up to bullies" is why I chose to feature them in my American Heroes art series.
