    A lot of depth if you could put it down to 120 minutes to straighten out the turning points of a few characters would make a great educational...

    The collision between rebellious youth and the education system, the metaphor of "jungle" is very appropriate, the emerging violence of students is like wild animals, and needs the training of animal trainers (teachers). The emerging and controversial rock music (students) is corroding traditional jazz (teacher), as the scene of the students smashing jazz records shows. Twelve years later, Sidney Poitier, a black student, turned into a people's teacher who taught students in "I Love My...

    Films from 70 years ago are still fully applicable today. Where is our evolution? Bad guys will always be there, regardless of age or circumstance. Instead of highlighting the changes made by teachers and the changes made by students, the focus is all on conflict, which is bold. My heart breaks for the rebellious boy singing Exodus. I guess we all learn sth from school, even teachers. What made me give up my passion for...

    Compared to "Rebel Without a Cause" and "The Bikers", the white little Alfie in this film is indeed more stubborn for no reason, and the black student played by Sidney Poitier is more like a baby normal youth during the tide. But the protagonist of this film must be the teacher played by Glenn Ford, the image of this great educator is too role...

    This teacher and even this movie are too idealistic, which makes me sad. According to my experience, this kind of teacher who really takes trash students seriously will collapse sooner or later, and it is laziness that is more difficult to deal with than evil. Share a little life experience: When facing someone who treats you as a fool, either fuck him or make him more unhappy than you,...

    Personally I think it's pretty normal. The atmosphere of film noir is matched with educational film, and the final freak is made. I really don't like it the more I watch it, the whole situation is too...

    It has to be said that the audio-visual language is too moderate, which may also represent the moderation of the position. It did not use a strong lens to shape the teacher, nor did it use extra ink to make people sympathize with the plight of the bad boy's post-war family collapse. The political environment in the American North in the 1950s was surprisingly sensitive. The teacher finally domesticates the students. It is through patience and perseverance that the students' interest and sense...

    Rock, hardcore. The works that describe the beat generation are mostly from the perspective of teenagers, telling how they are confused and helpless. In literature, such as "The Catcher in the Rye" and "On the Road", the teacher's perspective is very uncommon, and it can still be filmed. Gotta be so hardcore and rock 'n' roll; America belongs to the...

    This is what I like about Americans. I prepare everything in advance. Haha, the blackboard jungle has memories of what I saw when I was in junior high school. I really like the straightforwardness and the feeling of being a student. I really want to go back...

    Chalkboard Jungle

    The title of this film is particularly good. The blackboard is the main medium for transmitting knowledge in schools, symbolizing education. Education often represents "love and hope". ”, this film tells exactly such a story with intense conflict and opposition. I like this film very much....

    Youth, Exploitation and Hollywood's 1955

    It's the end of the road, boy

    Critic Gilbert Shields argued in 1950 about the value of teenage audiences to Hollywood: "The real moviegoers are made up of younger people . . . Children survive, they always automatically and habitually slip away to see the movies... Half of the people over the age of...

Blackboard Jungle quotes

  • Richard Dadier: I'm scared, Anne. I'm really scared. What if the baby doesn't live?

    Anne Dadier: He will. I know he will.

    Richard Dadier: Yeah, but what if he doesn't? You know, I wanted that baby. I needed that baby, just as much as you did. And all my life, I wanted to teach kids. And my son was gonna- He was gonna kinda help me with that. Through him, maybe I'd learn to understand.

    Anne Dadier: Rick.

    Richard Dadier: Hmmm?

    Anne Dadier: No matter what happens, I love you. I was silly and vain and selfish, so I doubted you. I was like one of the bad kids in your class. Somebody told me a lie, and I believed that lie. One's as bad as the other.

    Richard Dadier: I wanna tell you...

    Anne Dadier: I was wrong about something else too. I wanted you to quit teaching in that school. I understand now why you wanted to keep trying.

    Richard Dadier: Please.

    Anne Dadier: I'm glad you didn't quit.

    Richard Dadier: Now, wait a minute.

    Anne Dadier: Honey, kids are people. And most people are worthwhile. We all need the same thing. Patience, understanding... love. You've got that to give them, darling. And that's why you'll get through to them.

    [knock on door]

    Dr. Bradley: Your son's out of danger. He's gonna make it.

    [turns radio on]

    Dr. Bradley: Happy new year, Mr.and Mrs. Dadier.

  • Gregory W. Miller: There's talk you quitting this school, going some place where there's nice little obedient boys and girls ?

    Richard Dadier: Well what do you think ?

    Gregory W. Miller: Aww, I figured it's just talk

    Richard Dadier: Why ?

    Gregory W. Miller: Well, you know the ropes around here pretty good now, it would be a shame to waste all that... I guess everybody learns something in school, even teachers.

    Richard Dadier: Yes, I guess so...

    Gregory W. Miller: Besides, it would be kinda rough breaking in somebody new. Well, see you tomorrow Mr Dadier ?

    Richard Dadier: I thought you were quitting... ? Is that right ?

    Gregory W. Miller: Well, we have a pact... you wouldn't want to break that ?

    Richard Dadier: No, I guess we wouldn't...... .
