Dangerous Minds Reviews
Powerful, emotional film; Michelle Pfeiffer rocks
The storyline of Dangerous Minds is undoubtedly conventional. Former US Marine (Michelle Pffeifer) joins the teaching profession with oodles of idealism, hoping to mould young minds. The rest of the film proceeds to show the challenges she has to surmount to win over a group of underprivileged, mostly black kids, and to convince them that they have options in life. The plot has the potential to be very tired. That's why this DVD sat on my shelf for years, and I never had any incentive to pick it up. When I finally did, the film surprised me with its powerful, emotional acting and characterization. It also imparted some good values without coming across as preachy. In terms of depth, it was also much better than Mona Lisa Smile, or Music of The Heart (both of the same genre). All in all, highly entertaining, feel-good film which unlike most Hollywood movies, also imparts a dose of good values.
Powerful!
I loved this when it first came out but that was years ago. I had forgotten the entire movie. Watching it today was so much better. The commitment to the students was overwhelming and the students reaction to a teacher that truly believes in them was very moving. I cried like it was the first time I'd seen the movie.
