I would like to tell you about the film "Dangerous Minds",directed by directed by John N. Smithsand and produced by Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer. The movie stars Michelle Pfeiffer as Louanne Johnson, Courtney B. Vance as George Grandey and others.It is based on the autobiography "My Posse Don't Do Homework" by former U.S. Marine Louanne Johnson, who took up a teaching position at Carlmont High School in Belmont, California, in 1989, where most of her students were African-American.
Let's pass on to the plot of the film. Louanne Johnson was an ex-marine, who came to a Palo Alto high school in order to find a job. She was divorced with her husband and her friend advised her to be a teacher at this school. Her first day was terrible,because a classroom was full of tough and sullen teenagers, but her persistence made her to continue.The next day she wore a leather jacket and taught them karate.The students showed some interest in such activities,but later began to behave in the same way they used to. She tries to lead them in the world of English Poetry.Louanne used the lyrics of Bob Dylan to teach symbolism and metaphor; once this is achieved, she progressed to Dylan Thomas. Louanne rewards the students in different ways,using candy bars,a trip to a theme park or restaurant. During the work,she faced a lot of problems and difficulties with students and their parent and at the end of the school year she decided to go away. But students didn't want it. She stayed, because the students named her "bright".
Speaking about the actors, I should say that cast of the film is perfect. To my mind,Michele Pfeiffer is excellent in her role. She was absorbed by her work. She gave her heart and her soul to these students. Day by day she became closer and closer to them. She was so resourceful and found different ways in order to attract students. And later she succeeded.
The film touches upon the problems of the lower classes of society. Such students didn't want to learn because nobody believed in them. They have the same rights as the others.The only thing they should do-to chose what they wanted: to live in poverty and drink every day as their parents or to be successful and well-educated. Their teacher helped them and tried to struggle with stupid parents and cruelty of the streets.
Moreover, we can notice that their teacher believed in them and tried to encourage. She saw that everyone of her students was talented. That's why she was able to imbue their lives with bright coloures, with poetry,with human values,with the sense of life.
In conclusion I'd like to say that the film impressed me greatly.It teachers us that every child is unique and is worth of respect. Also it shows that a bright person can change life of many people for better. So, it is necessary not give up.
