Details

In the movie Words and Pictures (2013), an intense rivalry takes center stage as an art instructor and an English teacher clash over the importance of words versus pictures. Jack Marcus, a charismatic but troubled English teacher, challenges Dina Delsanto, a renowned artist and new art instructor at their school, to a competition. Together, they task their students with deciding whether words or pictures hold greater significance in the world.

As the competition heats up, Jack and Dina find themselves drawn to each other despite their differences. They bond over their shared struggles with addiction and personal demons, gradually realizing that their rivalry may be masking a deeper connection. Their passionate debates inspire their students to explore the power of words and pictures in ways they never thought possible.

Set against the backdrop of a high school filled with creative and passionate young minds, Words and Pictures portrays the transformative power of art and literature. Jack's love for words drives him to inspire his students through poetry and storytelling, while Dina's stunning artwork captivates her students and challenges their perceptions.

As the competition reaches its climax, the students must ultimately decide which form of expression they believe is more important. Will words triumph with their ability to evoke emotions and ignite imaginations, or will the visual allure of pictures emerge victorious? The answer lies in the hands of these young artists and writers as they discover the true beauty and impact of both words and pictures.
