This film is still relevant|Higher Learning 1995 - 90s classic movie commentary/recap 

Well not in Boyz In the Hood and Superman aka Man of the Steel in DCEU

Lol, you need to see him in "King of New York." Definitely not an educator in that movie. Haha.

He suits that mentor role, Furious Boyz in the Hood, even as Morpheus in matrix. He acts as the guide for the main character. He also has a calm aura about him.

@@kjreddragonwilliams27teku10Boyz n da hood he was a stric dad teaching his son, hence Educator 🤷🏽‍♂️

And he won an award for that role.

Mr. Phipps showed him the game...im convinced and he stay on campus too...it was a loophole somewhere.

Most likely scholarship.

Agreed, it definitely should be shown in high schools…very important film.

I started to feel bad for Remy because he did have a hard time making friends, and it didn’t help the fact that Dreads and Fudge were constantly picking on him either but once he started hanging with Scott and his friends, that’s when all of my sympathy for him went out the window.

Thank you 😊

Yes, both of those are on my list to do. Youre right about teaching youngsters to be aware, not just with their surrounding but with people as well. The wrong connection can take you out this world or having you going out sad. I drill this into my kids all the time.

@@forthenostalgia Yes! I’ve been seeing a post about this dude who others say had so much potential and he used to be a model. He ended up hanging around the wrong ppl and according to others, either his drink was laced or the blunt he smoked was laced. He’s been messed up since then. There was a picture of him circulating on social media dressing very out of place. Other ppl laughed but what they don’t know is God can spin the block on us at any given moment. I pray that he accepts help and can get his life back on track.

One of the Nazis was in The Program too, he played as a football player on steroids, smashing his head through car windows on some crazy shit XD

My parents were born during Jim Crow times as well. Its such a blessing to have a link to that because the stories that were told and the wisdom that was passed on...my parents made sure I was well aware and always kept my eyes open.

It's on RU-vid

now he's like him in real life

And no matter what Morris Chestnut do,he gon make sure he play a athlete 😅

🤣🤣🤣 Listen....11.5 throughout the whole movie.

I agree. He should have turned himself in to the law and allowed Kristen to testify against him. But he was either too scared or too proud.

Its so fucked up but I've seen this happen to girls I know irl. Predators apologizing thinking everything is fixed

Right! You see, Malik wasn’t humble. Once he stepped on college campus, he was very arrogant and expected everything to be handed to him on a silver platter. But once he got a reality check from Dr. Maurice and those around him, that’s when he got humbled. Malik went from an entitled athlete to a diligent student 💯

Remy was not an incel

I wouldn't say so. The Remster seemed to have zero interest in girls. His reaction to Kristen's rape was more of morbid fascination than titillation. Besides that, there had been "incels" in cinema before. Robert De Niro portrayed one in TAXI DRIVER.

" first documented incel" nope, Travis Bickle(Taxi Driver) was about 20 years before

@@niabelizaire3596 Yes, Malik had a lot of valuable lessons to learn. But Kristen did too, in her own way. I mean, Malik didn't burst into tears at the registrar's office because he didn't get what he wanted. She grew up near Disneyland and she also would learn about the real world. So sad that being sexually assaulted would be a part of this. And the whole point of Remy, who I would say did NOT come to the school expecting privileges, is that he bought into the lie that he was being denied his "rightful place" because his "birthright" was being given away to Blacks, Hispanics and Asians who did not deserve it. This was a really brilliant film that I think about often with the things that go own in this country today.

So funny😂

And I think Tupac would’ve done a good job as Malik too because he’s a really good actor

Yes West coast Rapper Ice Cube, East coast Rapper Busta Rhymes, and Tupac was both East and West.

Pac Busta & Omar Epps were all staying in the same apartment complex while this movie was being done in 1993. Pac had just wrapped up Poetic Justice & finishing up his second album. Omar & Busta started filming shortly after. It was at this time that Busta got kicked out of Leaders of the New School & their label Elektra was gonna make him a solo artist canceling Leaders potential third album.

Omar Epps is also a rapper, you know. He actually made a rap song with another rapper, though i can't quite remember the other person's name.

You know what.. 🤔😂😂

I’m 21:48

Yeah 😂🤣😆

Can you please do Selena movie because Selena broke barriers in the Latin music world.

😂💯

Lol same my moma decided to change the spelling and add a Ta so it’s Ta’Daiza!

@@tadaizalittlejohn3148 that’s hilarious! I wonder how many girls that are 27-28 and named some variation of Deja because of this movie 😂😂

​@@packnetadaijaMy mom also got my name from this movie 😂

My name is Daja from the movie as well 😂😂

@@ashotoffacts1079 oh that’s awesome!!!

That's Curtis Mayfield playing in the background

Literally. I’m in college right now and loved this movie growing up. But it’s triggering now. Experiencing exactly what I seen.

Yeah he definitely was

I said the same thing. He was trying to fit in, but was too socially awkward. He would’ve went with whoever accepted him first, which is a dangerous space to be in mentally. You feel so rejected that you just want to belong anywhere even if it leads you to a dead end.

Right wing propagandists got them by the neck right now. This movie needs more exposure now more then ever.

Sad but true.

​@@spartacusmike270no.

Remy isn't. Not true.

​@mr.flashmystic1461 not true

We’ll never get another writer like him :(

May he rest in peace

Yea 😂...and gotta do that one too

Can you please do Selena movie because Selena broke barriers in the Latin music world.

I never rush to defend the man, but whenever I hear Columbus being called one of history's greatest monsters, I feel quite a bit of dissonance. I first learned about him when I was six years old, and I NEVER heard anyone speak of him as a genocidal lunatic until half a decade later, by which point many of my impressions about the world were fixed. How did Columbus's stock fall so far? Not only was the man a devout Christian, even to the point that he named his flagship after the mother of Jesus, but several generations of Westerners who were not bad people themselves grew up venerating him. I just don't understand it. Aren't evil people usually admired only by other evil people? Again, I'm not defending Columbus, but just struggling to understand how this all can be.

Ikr. Tyra Banks can’t act to save her life.

@@therealmarlonbellamy yep exactly 💯

They're not meant to be lmao

@@yafriendsfriend Nope.

I still haven't seen it yet to this day

I was thinking the same, lmao!

@BlackaveliX Lol exactly! How is he gonna say he’s not “dumb” but yet, he’s using poor grammar.

Ironic that I saw him in the movie zebrahead before seeing him here. He has mad range!!

@@blaqpirate I was just about to mention Zebrahead!

@@ashleydunnigan6832 he performed both roles perfectly!!!!

As well as being a huge Hip-Hop Supporter in real life.

I thought he was a real life white supremacist

Remy surrounded himself with the wrong people for sure but he has prior issues as well. I liked Kristens character as well.

Can you please do Selena movie because Selena broke barriers in the Latin music world.

@@forthenostalgia The differing trajectories of Kristen and Remy - the two white protagonists - is something I just can't get past. It's as if Singleton believed there were just two types of white Americans: the saintly, angelic kind on the one hand, and the homicidal maniac on the other. What's most ironic is that, arguably, Kristen had more race prejudice inside her than Remy did when we were first meeting them. Of course, Remy was by far the more marginalized of the two and thus the one much more likely to become brooding and violent, but unlike Kristen he didn't seem to bring any latent xenophobia to the campus. He was just an awkward boy who was picked on and then was a little too quick to demonize his bullies. He also wasn't privileged to the same degree that Kristen was, but then again that fact might have helped to stoke his anger. In a way, stereotypes of whites in the minds of blacks seem to exactly parallel stereotypes of blacks in the minds of whites. You either get a condescending pat on the head as "one of the good ones" or you're labeled an antisocial thug. And, of course, in HIGHER LEARNING the white woman finds redemption while her male counterpart dies a criminal. Was there, indeed, some reverse sexism in the characterizations? And did lookism play a role as well? After all, Kristy Swanson is one of the most beautiful actresses of my lifetime, while Michael Rappaport looks like an overgrown elf.

@@SeasideDetective2 Remy wasn't really picked on, he was ignored. I agree with the Kristen assessment, she was a "benevolent" racist, clutching her purse, only hanging out in wht enclaves and all, Remy in the beginning was more willing to "mix" company at the dorms before he ran into the wht supremacist group.

My college roommate and I were obsessed with Busta in this movie

Honestly, I wouldn't even give him that because the 'Poor mental health just led to some bad decisions' reasoning really only gets used for violent white men. I think it's the fact that he couldn't build any genuine connections but would still blame everyone else for his own mediocrity and unlikability, like real incel behaviour

Right...saying so much without say much at all. The way our non verbal communication works 😂 but how it all stems from being a necessity at one point...

Really? I liked Laurence in this role though...

Imagine this Tupac Shakur as Malik Gwyneth Paltrow as Kristen Leonardo DiCaprio as Remy Juliette Lewis as Taryn Michael Rapaport as the Cole Hauser's character as the head nazi. That cast would have been the most mid 90s teen/young adult movie in the 90s

I can see it

@@Knight622ny Pac vs. Leo. It would've been awesome.

​@@HL-tf2otLeo is too much of a pretty boy to play Remi. He probably would notvhsve gotten the role in Titanic if he played Remy.

Definitely Rosewood

Definitely "Poetic Justice"

Primms Hood Cinema.

He would have gotten a happy meal in real life

@@mismissy facts

The lead Nazi played by Cole Hauser was in Tyler Perry’s movie The Family That Preys. He was also in 2 Fast 2 Furious & he’s on Yellowstone.

@therealmarlonbellamy Oh shit, I forgot Cole was in The Family That Preys. Love him on Yellowstone btw ❤️

@@therealmarlonbellamy Thank you! I forgot his name 😭

@@IDFK__ you’re welcome

Cole Hauser is actually Jewish. And he played a character who was anti semitic along with his other classmates in the move School Ties (also a very good movie). Had Brendan Fraser, Matt Damon.

I love that movie. Columbine ruined the release though

Her commentary sucks.

💯

That's true but the racism wasn't as blatant as it is now either. The people were still hiding their true feelings for the most part. Not everything is out in the open

yea and most of it is manufactured by social media... now u have lots of black folks committing fake crimes at an alarming rate!!! I suggest u do research...@@mismissy

​@@MrCalverinoyour comment is manufactured by social media you talk about research and have none to back it up. Your uneducated rhetoric is hilarious you act like your columbine kids aren't acting up the delusion

Yeah, I'm wondering about that myself. Do men and women really react differently to their feelings of insecurity? Do the women become more vulnerable and thus sympathetic, while the men become defensive and aggressive and are shunned?

@@SeasideDetective2 great question/thought. I think the main difference between Remy and Kristin, though is, Kristin was raised in a warm, loving environment. Remy was sheltered too but in a much colder, environment with less love.

@@kwadwotuffour5529 That's fair. Still, Remy remained underdeveloped, even though the movie increasingly focused on him as it moved along.
