@Jarred Knox Ummm....Barbara made well over three movies. I can think of five right of the top of my head and I know there are more but I can't think of them at the moment.
When I was in college we did have a couple professors who gave great lectures but come on this is Hollywood and you're not as likely to see the students going crazy and clapping , etc . If you want to see something even more intense than this in terms of Academia and a very MEMORABLE scene that should have become part of Hollywood's most famous and loved movie scenes ,watch the beginning of Heaven's Gate ... with Kris Kristofferson and John Hurt as two young gentleman graduating from either Cambridge or Oxford... the whole scene of the graduation speech and the electricity and optimism in the air , the party afterwards.... makes you wish you had been there.... the way they were so tight that and the camaraderie really will make you wish you had been their friends and in their graduating class . It is a brilliant scene , truly wonderful .
I found that piece on the Geraldine Snell Channel... I think they may have caught up a little bit that happened just before the graduation but you do have that there and then one another channel is the after party
I have watched it at least 6 times in the past month. Love this movie. Love it. Such a classic. Movies today are so over sexualized it is so nice to have a movie that does not oversexualize scenes.
It's highly possible... 20% 80% rule... Perhaps only 20% of the class are the once who raises their hands & participate the most... In this case... It's just a movie... But in most, if not all, the classes I've been in, only few put of the ' whole ' class actively engage... And teacher may call on those who don't participate to engage them & spread participation around...
My favorite scene of the movie. I love how on point this speech is. For someone like me, who can't express myself too well, this makes easy to understand LOVE and what drives this world
I just finished watching this movie for the second time, first time was yesterday and I had to watch it again today! it has completely become one of my favorites movies ever and this scene is absolute perfection! my favorite part of the movie!
I just saw this last night and was worried about the direction it would take. But I just noticed that he leaves before hearing her explain why we look for love. Like what would he have done if he stayed long enough to hear the rest of her lecture? I’m glad they found companionship with each other. I’m glad she felt beautiful when she just got out of bed. I’m glad he let those heightened emotions take him back to her. It’s so lovely.
Only Barbra could captivate a college lecture hall like this. It's so over the top it's hysterical. I love how when Streisand wants to get her point across she has to hammer it to death SO WE ARE SURE TO GET THE POINT.
My personal opinion: This speech ranks up there with Nicholson's in A few good men, and Pacino's in Scent of a Woman. Every line was delivered on point. Barbra is Prof. Morgan.
@04:03 Eli Roth is nodding his head in the burgundy pullover sweater. He is the one in the dark hair just left of the guy in the white v neck sweater. Director Eli Roth just made a psycho-sexual Horror/Thriller movie with Keanu Reeves terrorized by two sexy young woman, called Knock Knock. It is a remake of an old movie [Death Game 1977 or The Seducers] with Sandra Locke (Clint Eastwood's old long time girlfriend).
One difference between then and now? Look at the lack of huge gobs of makeup on the college students. They're way more natural. Nowhere near as many girls with heavy makeup.
