I disagree on lean on me because it wasnt about the kids learning to too late for them to do that he was trying to make them good citizens and people wayy more important than learning a book etc...........
Democrats hate this movie because it was a black Republican coming in and saving one of their shithole schools they created Democrats are just fine with the status quo and don't care about black communities as long as they stay dependant on them and keep voting blue
Absolutely. Ebert said the movie didn't deal with Joe Clark's cruelty towards the staff and others, but it did. The part where the female teacher set him straight proves Roger wrong.
Lean on Me was a very good film. Frankly I think Freeman’s performance in it was better than his Oscar winning one in Million Dollar Baby. Scores of failing schools in this country need a Joe Clark.
