I Remember Mama is my favourite American movie. Education has been a primary concern in many traditional families. In I Remember Mama, Martha and her husband Lars show high respect for education. Especially Martha, she plays an influential role within her family. She tells her children that knowledge is priceless.
They invite Mr. Hyde to read them books in the evening. Although Mr. Hyde has left them a collection of his books without getting paid a couple months of rents, Martha does not get angry with him. Instead, she tells her children that the value of all of his books have GREatly exceeded the total amount of his unpaid rents. Nevertheless, Martha and Lars always encourage and support their children to keep on pursing their educational goals.
It is very important for children to understand their family values.
