I loved this movie when it first came out. Now that I'm back in school, the story resounds more than ever. How can I thank you enough for reminding me why, in my sixth decade, I'm drafting papers, memorizing into the night and even taking out student loans. I'm finding that better song to sing. My song. Thank you from the depths of my heart.
When I studied the play I hated it and didnt understand it at all. Now, 2 years later, I love it, especially the ending; its so beautiful and sad. I can now relate to the characters and empathise with them, especially Rita. Thats what makes it so special. Thanks for uploading xxx
Thank you so much for uploading this my friend. It's a lovely film, wonderfully written and performed. I am starting university on Monday, as a part-time, mature student, and so this is so close to my heart this weekend. Have never been an undergraduate before so excited and nervous completely. Thank you again. xxx
I just balled my eyes out! I absolutely love the play, but I honestly think the film is better, and that's a first for me when comparing books and plays. Poor Frank, He loved her so dearly. I only hope they met another time in the future and realised there was a possibility of them being together. Also, at the end, that almost kiss, uuggghh, I really wish they had kissed.
it' an awesome movie. I just immersed myself in it and took everything all in. you cannot citicize it . it is what it is and it is brilliant. I saw this movie when I was 12 and was bored to death.rofl.
In the book/play it also misinterpret you to think they had sex but really it was just an haircut. I was surprise when she took her jacket off n I think dr. Bryant frank was too xD
I love how this movie doesn't end in a dramatic kiss. It's a congenial hug between good friends. Sure, the relationship could develop but I see it as a friendship more and we never really see those in movies, platonic bonds between men and women.
Extraordinary Film, however, the play (the book) is more accurate and the film somewhat degenerates the actual story somewhat. Studying it school actually... anyways at 5.42 when she takes of her jacket, *my mind trailed off ROFL,
i loved watching rita's transformation, yet it was sad to see the professor's decline. a lot to learn and think about when it comes to the issue of identity and where we find it. made me think about the importance of being comfortable in your own skin, yet being prepared to grow and move forwards bravely in life . definitely makes my favorites list.
what an amazing movie! so poignant and touching. i rewound so many scenes over and over, either because they were so funny or just to let a particular message sink in. i loved rita's character and her zest and passion for life and learning, literature and adventure.
The final scene is pretty much heartbreaking.After Frank realises he has nothing more to teach Rita he realises there is nothing more she needs from himAnd as much as she has love for him she will never love him the way he loves her.
He does all he can do...try and make a fresh start.But knows he can only do this bye getting far far away.
There was a play in English Theater here in Frankfurt. I haven't seen it but I heard so many good comments about it. It was cold 'Educating Rita''. Now I know why.
I really liked this movie! I kinda hoped they'd end up together in the end. I guess it seemed as though they might've because they'd both been left by their partner and they got on well together. Do you think Frank appeared to have romantic feelings for Rita?

I'm German and I have to read the book in my English lessons in school. I think it's a good film version, although I'm not ready with the book yet. I was just so curious how it would end and how they have played out the dialogues! Thank you for uploading this! :)
I started reading the script in English, thought it would be boring as hell...as usual I was wrong! Best movie and a wonderful play. Julie and Michael are brilliant actors they go so well, couldn't have gone better! Thanks for uploading - I will buy this on DVD ASAP!
I cannot thank you enough, Gicandido, for post "Educating Rita". The movie enabled me to reframe my life from failed professor to one of a professor who aimed too high: to help end the unspeakable cruelty of economic sanctions which killed no less than 500,000 children in Iraq. An act which the US committed solely for financial gain & in the process outraged not merely the mute earth but has produced a horror will will hasten the collapse of the empires of the US and its running lackey dogs.
I'm proud to say my boyfriends father played the part of The Bursar.(Pat Daly). As I've never met him because he's passed on this film has made him imortal here on earth and I got a chance to see him.
I am not british either, but there are a lot of great films that are British - my favourite films are British. The strongest and most interesting roles for female characters are in British made-for-TV movies. Female actors in British TV movies get lots of lead roles.
I heard that in the original version of the film, the soundtrack at the end is different. Instead, the song at 6:52 plays continuously throughout the film. Is that true? Don't get me wrong, I love both soundtracks! :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
julie walters is a pain in the arse! 15 minutes of listening to her whiny voice ( "Do ya know Tiiiiiggggggger" or "Frank, I got to go to da Teatre") & I'm ready to strangle the ugly bitch.
Im doing an essay on this, how Rita changes throughout the play.
Ive had just about enough of Rita and Frank!!! AAAA
But i must agree, it is a really great plot nd everything... its just that writing a whole essay about it kind of ruins it! Anyone care to help me? due in on monday? :D joking..
thank you for posting it though, its nice to actually see it, not just have to read it all the time!
great movie! but be careful if you're studying the book, you should read the book first. there are many differences between the book and the movie...so don't use the movie as a summary if you write a test about the book...your teacher will be surprised because you'll write about scenes that don't happen in the book ;)
I really enjoyed that - I'm studying the play for an English assignment and this really helped me understand it so much more! thank you so much for posting it!
love it, the music, michael caine's acting (superb!!), julie's of course was great, too, and just- i don't know how to say that, maybe it's the light, well, don't know, i just loved it=D. definitely a great film.
lol 5 minutes in when she takes her jacket off I thought she was going to shag him then she says "I'm gonna take 10 years off you" and I was sure it was gonna happen then the haircut lmao
well, this has got to be one of the most underrated movies of all time. Julie Walters would have really deserved that Oscar. Either way, the acting was great altogether. I loved the book and I really appreciate the movie. For me there isn't a better one out there.
