  • Prof. Crawford sends Jamal out of class after he fails to humiliate him.
    Watch now: play.google.com/store/movies/...
    Jamal Wallace (Robert Brown) is an inner-city kid from the Bronx who has an aptness at basketball and a genius at writing. While always a C student, Jamal comes to the attention of a prestigious New York prep school when he scores highly on his standardized tests. While Jamal is given a heavy load at his new school, both he and the school know that the real reason they took him on is for his prowess on the court. Befriended by fellow student Claire (Anna Paquin) and helped along by Pulitzer-prize winning author and recluse William Forrester (Sean Connery), Jamal pursues his dreams both on and off the court while overcoming obstacles placed by his bitter literature teacher. As Jamal is shaped by Forrester, he finds that he is changing the old writer as well, forcing him to confront his past...and his future.

    I like that he was moved to do something not just because of how the teacher treated him, but because of how he was treating the other student- “No more than you challenged Coleridge.”

    Must say that this is one of my favorite of all the Sean Connery movies that I've seen.
    Not because it's an action film . . . . which it isn't.
    Not because it's one of his lesser known and much less spoken about films . . . which it most definitely is.
    It's because he chose to play a character that wasn't really the primary focus of the film, but more as a supporting role. And although he could have easily made the movie about himself, instead he gave it the nuanced performance that it required Jamal to remain the main character of the story.

      You’ve identified how not to do it. So don’t. Challenging a student isn’t a bad thing. Being the know it all and not the teacher is. Just don’t do that.

      Wallace's character always seemed to me to believe in the "Say less and mean more" kind of guy. He knew he was right. The professor knew he was right. The other students knew he was right. As far as he was concerned, nothing else needed to be said. I also think he was truly disappointed that this teacher would be such a petty person considering how prestigious the school was and thought a teacher there would relish competition like that.
