This emotional shaping allows the audience to resonate with the characters and enhances the appeal of the film.
As the plot develops, Isana's life takes a turn. An art teacher named Ram Shankar Nikumbh entered his life. Rami Nix, with his distinctive teaching approach and empathetic attitude, helps Isaine rediscover her potential and unique talents.

Director's visual style and photography techniques
In the film "Stars on Earth", director Aamir Khan showed his unique directorial visual style and superb photography skills, creating unique and touching visual effects for the film. He uses his skills in lens language, composition, and color to bring the emotions and themes of the story to life.
First of all, Aamir Khan skillfully uses the language of the lens in the storytelling to present the emotions and inner world of the characters. In the depiction of Isaine's learning difficulties, the director used close-ups and close-up shots that highlighted his inner anxiety and inferiority complex. The audience is able to deeply feel his emotions and thoughts. At the same time, by using different lens lengths such as long and wide lenses, the director introduces the audience to different scenes and angles of the story, enhancing the diversity of the viewing experience.
Secondly, the composition of the film shows Aamir Khan's delicate processing and creativity. He skillfully uses compositional principles such as contrast, symmetry and perspective to create visual layering and depth for the film.
For example, in Isaine's depiction of loneliness on campus, the director uses a wide lens view and empty scenes to emphasize his loneliness. At the same time, through the use of contrasting colors and chiaroscuro, the director highlights Isaine's presence, making him stand out from the background. This clever picture composition enhances the expressiveness of the story and the visual impact of watching the movie.
In addition, the use of color in the film is also an important part of Aamir Khan's directorial style. For example, in scenes where Isaine is depressed, the director uses cold tones and dim light, which strengthens his loneliness and inner depression. In the scene where Isaine regains confidence and happiness, the director uses bright colors and warm light to express his inner joy and hope. The use of color not only enhances the expression of emotions, but also brings visual enjoyment and emotional resonance to the audience.

Amir Khan showed Rami Nix's empathy, patience and care in the performance, conveying his understanding and support for Isaine through subtle expressions and movements. This characterization resonates with the audience, experiencing the sincere friendship and mutual motivation between the characters.
In addition, the performances of other characters in the film also have unique personalities and charms. The excellent performances of Isaen's father played by Thanai Cehda, Isaen's brother played by Vipin Sharma, and other supporting actors add layers and richness to the story.

The director's social awareness and cultural concerns
Through the film, Amir Khan presents the limitations and challenges of India's education system. As a child with learning difficulties, Isahn suffers exclusion and confusion in traditional schools, reflecting the Indian education system's unadaptation to diversity and special needs.
The director expressed a call for educational reform by showing teachers' incomprehension of Isaen and the rigidity of the education system. This critique and reflection on the education system makes viewers start thinking about how to provide a more inclusive and personalized educational environment.
Isaen's parents' lack of understanding and support when they discovered his learning difficulties led to him feeling even more lonely and lost. This provokes a reflection on home education and makes the viewer aware of the critical role of the family environment in the development of children. Through the interaction and touch between Isaine and her family, the director conveys the importance of family and parent-child relationship, and stimulates the audience's thinking and attention to family education.
In addition, the film also touches on social issues such as competitive pressure, study anxiety and lack of empathy. By shaping the relationship between Isaen and other students, the director reveals social divisions and exclusion among classmates in a competitive environment. This provokes reflection on the importance of empathy and inclusivity and pushes viewers to focus on the inequalities and prejudices that exist in society.
In addition, director Amir Khan also shows his concern for Indian society and culture in the film. Through the background and plot of the film, he presents the cultural conflict, family values and the collision of tradition and modernity in the reality of Indian society. This cultural care gives the audience an insight into the diversity and challenges of Indian society, prompting people to think about the inheritance and integration of cultures.
The director's educational outlook and values
As a director, Aamir Khan showed his profound educational outlook and values in the movie "Stars on Earth". Through the storyline and character shaping of the film, he conveys his thoughts and concerns about education, triggering the audience's thinking about the education system, children with learning difficulties, and educational reform.
First, the film explores the idea that every child is unique, emphasizing the importance of encouraging individual talents. The protagonist, Isaen, is a child with a learning disability who has long been frustrated and ostracized in traditional schools. Through the guidance of art teacher Rami Nix, Isaine gradually found her creativity and unique talent. Through this story, the director expressed the importance and exploration of the potential of each child, and called on educators and society to give more attention and support to each child.
Second, the film reflects on the limitations and challenges of traditional educational methods. Isaen's difficulties and setbacks in traditional schools highlight the education system's neglect of diversity and special needs. Through Isaen's experience, the director explores the suppression of students' individuality and creativity in school education, and puts forward a call for reflection and improvement of traditional educational methods. This view of education prompts the audience to think about how to build a more flexible and diversified education system to better meet the needs of each student.
The film also highlights the importance of empathy and inclusion in education. Isaine suffers from rejection and isolation from classmates at school, and the director shows the damage that the lack of empathy and inclusivity can do to children through this plot.
With his gentleness and understanding, art teacher Rami Nix helps Isahn rebuild his self-confidence and motivates his classmates to recognize the uniqueness and value of each person. This value makes the audience realize that education is not only about transmitting knowledge, but also about cultivating empathy and inclusivity in students, and cultivating them to become responsible and socially aware people.
In addition, the director's view of education is also reflected in the thinking on the interactive relationship between family and education. The film depicts the complexity of Isanne's relationship with family and the importance of family in children's learning and development.
His parents' ignorance and incomprehension of Isaen's learning difficulties caused him deep damage. By showing the dialogue and upbringing between Isaen and her parents, the director conveys the influence of family on the child's education and the importance of care.
Author's point of view
Through the plot of the film, the audience realizes that each child is unique and has unlimited potential and value. The protagonist, Isaen, experiences setbacks and rejection as a child with learning difficulties, but through the guidance of art teacher Rami Nix, he rediscovers his potential and unique talents.
This story calls us to focus not only on children's academic performance, but also on their personalities and interests in order to reach their full potential.
Isaine's hardships and setbacks in traditional schools reveal the educational system's inadequacy with diversity and special needs. This has led to reflections on educational reform, and we need to build flexible and pluralistic education systems that provide every student with a learning environment that adapts to their needs.
