I noticed that there was no thread for this amazing film. How many of you have seen it? It's great, you should watch it if you get the chance. In fact, this is one of those movies that I would recommend everyone watch because of what it says. It instantly became one of my all-time favorites after watching it.
I love this movie... I saw it in my English class. The ending is tremendously sad, but it has a lot of depth to it. It really shows what parents and schools were like back then and how much the kids changed under one teacher. A must see.
I remember this film! It's probably one of my favorite films of all time. Really shows how "pushy" some parents were back in the day.
I read an interesting fact: They did the movie in order so the kids would get attached to the teacher. At the end of the movie they were having a hard time doing the ending because of their emotions during it.
Robert Sean Leonard in his Baby form is so good in this film, same with Ethan Hawke. The final scene of A Midsummer's Nights Dream with Neil's father watching and the ensuing fallout is so powerful and still is sadly true for a lot of those who bend towards the performing arts (which is seen as below other academic pursuits). Classic film.
