by far the best inner-city school flick i have ever seen. the scenes shot in class room felt so real i sometimes thought i was watching a documentary instead of a scripted fictional film. ending the film on a long hand-held shot of empty class room was also a great idea from the director -- a picture is worth a thousand words.
@SurrealisticMusic Probably go to Montreal if you want more French and a big change of scenery. If you want time to adapt to Canada, go to Vancouver (though it's expensive).
ok calm down. not all americans are like that.. stop generalizing. for example: i do not like bombs, and i dont care about cars.............. if you think all americans are heartless and stupid, then open YOUR eyes and try to be realistic.... thanks
@kenzoi Well when art is concerned, "all tastes exist in nature" as we say ;) I like realistic, because to me unrealistic is unengaging, uninteresting. So it's counter-active as it doesn't "drag me in" at all. I know that a balance must be reach for pedagogic and storytelling purposes but the more realistic the better IMHO. I don't know if Kubrick was "the best who ever existed" but he was among the very best for sure...that's also why i don't like extremes and peremptory affirmations : limiting
@kenzoi How can a movie be "too realistic"...It's important that they are as realistic as possible. It's not about happy-endings or making characters lovable... It's about showing what the world is like.
@BackInAGiffy Are all Americans as dumb & stupid as you are? Or are you just a case in a billion? I think i'll go for the second idea. Apart from you, I think no one can be THAT stupid.
@BackInAGiffy I watched the movie and loved it. Just because french people in this video have bad dressing habits doesn't mean all french people dress like that, how dumb can you be?! This movie illustrates the less fortunates ones going to a public school, of course they have to be badly dressed. Or would you imagine them all going in Louboutins shoes, Louis Vuitton bags or Versace dresses? I don't understand how stupid someone can be.
and you re american, that makes sense too ^^ Btw ,care to use my language now ? Im kind of tired using english..oh no right, you uneducated cowboys dont know shit about whats outside US border....
@Barteamjoe why would i want to use French, only third world African countries plus France speak french.
It probably figures out that we do know "shit" about the outside world considering we are the richest most powerful country in the world. oh yeah You Tube is an American invention ;)
richest most powerful country in the world ??? hahahahah Chinese own you by the balls, French is on your american passport and one of UN official language. JESUS GET AN EDUCATION ALREADY youre still living in the 80's
@Barteamjoe ooooo "one of the UN languages" LMFAO, I have an education, where i chose to learn German rather than fucking french. China is a shit hole the Government is a disgrace and half the population live in poverty they may be catching the US up financially but in terms of a country its a failure, bit like France in ww1 and 2 ;-) remember 1945 when the civilians of Paris flew US flags =)
so do I. But that was 66 years ago, move the fuck on buddy ^^ besides thay had nothing to do with today s american. (US is become a failure, China 's improving)
@BackInAGiffy always the same argument, right? there's a proverbe in french saying "when we don't have a lot of jam, we spread it". You are condescendant man. People like you make the world agree on the fact that American people are uncultivated . If you're not interested in france, than why on earth are you watching this video?
Dans cette classe, combien vont toucher le chômage, le rmi, bref des prestations sociales ? Au moins 90%! Ce film est un bel exemple illustrant des branleurs dans une classe, c'est-à-dire: une bande de paresseux et indigne de confiance.Des acteurs, eux?Leur texte est improvisé et il ne contient que des insultes, de l'argot .Du coup, je peux vous garantir qu'on a pas finit de payer des impots, pour verser des allocations à tout ce ramassé de blaireau vaniteux et hautainqui sont fier et méprisant!

I am apalled at the presence of blacks in France's schools. These parasites are everywhere, how shocking... Blacks ruin education for other students all over the world; the beasts refuse to get educated and don't allow other to get and education. Makes me sick to my cells.
@Superegio42 If this were true, then there wouldn't be any Blacks in universities, and nobody would ever graduate from any school at all, which is not exactly the case. Plus, you can find kids causing trouble in all-White schools too, so please stop considering a minority to be representative of millions of people you probably know nothing about. This is just ridiculous.
PS: i'm a Black French who just got a master's degree, and just so you know, there's no affirmative action here in France.
@MsNana94 lol which is only fair. the fact that blacks get it easier with affirmative action in the US is not fair. there are other minority groups who have to suffer more to get here and do well yet they're not affected by affirmative action cuz there's a greater number of them applying to schools.
@Dtwaine I know, and i don't like the idea of an affirmative action either, which is basically reversing the problem rather than solving it. I think it should all be about your grades and that's it. The problem with college in the US is that it's so ridiculously expensive that even people with good grades in high school can just get cut off because they can't afford it, which is more than unfair. But that's another debate.
Reminds me of my diverse middle school when I was in the States, except that the Asian kid (Wei) would be hitting on the fiesty middle eastern girl (Esmeralda) XD
Agreed with shadowkitty56. I teach French in California and I showed this film to all my classes, with the intention of seeing the reactions of my students at the beginning levels where the behavior problems are the most common. After the film, behavior issues quieted down, but the apathy continued. That is what is wrong with education today...too much apathy towards everything.
Don't know how I have never heard of this film before, from the clip it looks fantastic, some wonderful characters all beautifully portrayed...I must see it soon!
Esmeralda I saw as an immature little twerp who should have been taught a lesson years ago. I suspect one day she will, and it will strike her dumb. Her own immaturity as a class representative costs a man his job down the line....and her refusal to listen to any voice but her own will one day find she is the only one willing to talk to herself because all others have given up.
Frankly, I did not like this movie. I saw it as derivative and felt no sympathy nor empathy for ANY of the characters. None of them are particularly endearing. The teacher doesn't make a single attempt to "get them where they live," in other words some of the books he pushes on them do not speak at all to the experience of these kids. Voltaire is great when you want to teach about Deism and the watchmaker God, but terrible if you feel absolutely nothing when you read it.
@shadowkitty56 Agreed with you, but in an other hand that is LIFE, what teachers in France and , surely , in others countries, meet every working day. That is not a matter of good guys or bad guys, rather guys living together. Do you see my point ?
cette film est absolument magnifique. Ce film dit beaucoup a propos des ecoles pas seulement a paris, mais aussi BEAUCOUP a propos des ecoles ici aux etats unis.
this film is absolutely awesome... It says a ton not only about schools in paris, but also here in the US. I seriously recommend it :)
ça en dit aussi long sur les écoles françaises en générale dans les quartiers chaud et autres, tu sais. Enfin dans les collèges, les lycées sont beaucoup plus calme. Mais ce que j'ai vraiment aimé dans ce film c'est que ce sont des élèves d'une même classe qui joue et on le sent à l'écran.
@Nighit3 It was only a copy and a remake of this film....Estonia... ? lol I'm sure 99% of people in the world are not able to situate you country on the map....
I don't get why everyone said this was a good movie. My french teacher made my class watch it today, and at the end of the movie, I felt like I had wasted 2 hours of my life, it was pointless, and no one in my class like it.
(And I heard 4 people in my class call Esmerelda ugly :D )
@fortpflanzor Simple. By already having two or three films of this formulation under its belt, some of which are more than 15 years old. In this case, I would wager to say that la belle France is behind on bringing the issues of impoverished inner city kids at school to the screen. That is a hard reality.
@cinnamontl Of course, if you love the movies such as the big production made in Hollywood like Inception, Twilght etc.. it's absolutely not the same kind of movie...
I don't know why but I'm sure you are american, if it's true, that explain your reaction because there are not bomb, blond and big car. I think you don't like simple things.
Try to speak another language, the movie is in french so speak french, I try to speak english for you understand what I tell ^^' and I'm polite with you so be polite with me ! It's no hard you know...
@BoToGo1 The irony here is; you're the dumb ass for not understanding how difficult it is to speak another language other than your native tongue. You don't understand that, because you've never tried. You've never tried because you're physically incapable.
So, do us all a favour. Stand up, turn around, and get the fuck out of your basement.
@FatherFizz You don't know shit about me so how are you gonna say I don't know how to speak any other language and I'm just doing what they do to us. You think you like the French so much go over their and see how much they'll treat you like shit regardless if you are open to their culture and not like an "average" American.
@BoToGo1 I know that you're ignorant and uneducated. You make that very clear indeed. The comment I replied to and "I'm just doing what they do to us" proves that beyond any doubt.
I do go over there, as a matter of fact. I spend two months of every year in Paris. But this isn't about the French in particular - this is about your blatant disregard for any language other than your own and for the people that speak it.
Oh, and it's "go over there" not "go over their". Ironic, eh.
@Frily1 ok calm down. not all americans are like that.. stop generalizing. for example: i do not like bombs, and i dont care about cars.............. if you think all americans are heartless and stupid, then open YOUR eyes and try to be realistic.... thanks
Oh, I'm calm and I really don't think you are stupid, I said some stereotypes, the stereotypes are like rumors sometimes they are true sometimes false. Try to know us, like we try to understand and to speak your language, if we try to understand and to know eachother everything would be okay
I thought this was gonna be like the french version of that shitty ooh poor black people freedom writers stupidass movie, but its so not. I like it cos it brings me back to my school days back in nz, even though its french everything is so similar
I feel asleep with freedom writers so I can't say that it was bad but it defintely wasn't good enough for me to stay awake. This films contains some of the best acting I've seen thus far. I was astonished by all performances. Esmerelda blew me away, she was just a bolt of good ole energy. I hope they pursue something great in life as I hope for all students around the world. They have much to achieve. Holla to ma peeps in France.
@SuperOriginalGuy Qu'est que tu veut dire? This film was awesome, yea it was a bit too long and dragged on sometimes, but i much prefer it to those american films of the same concept ie freedom writers and that one with matthew perry
i changed my mind, i'm going to download it from TPB for free xD.
its just that i live in belgium and we still have a limit on our internet you know. so when i go above my limit internet goes slow for the rest of the month and believe me that sucks.
belgium is the only one still having a bandwidth limit.
don't brush subtitles out completely. They allow the viewer to really grasp the intonation of the speaker, where as dubs are usually cheesy and not well done. if you watch it enought subtitles just become second nature to the viewer, PLUS you learn the language!
That is probably true as we have a lot of mediocre "actors" in the states...but we also have some very good ones too!
I guess I prefer to watch foreign films (i am american) in the original language with subtitles because I like to get as much of the cultures expression as possible
@fortpflanzor Vaut mieux entendre ça que d'être sourd.
Please don't pay any attention to this previous comment, in no way does dubbing improve a film, and in no way a dubbing actor gets it better than the original one.
ha jakers america do you understand this are you guys capable of formulating an opinion???i hate the way people underestimate american peoples intelligence, disregarding the ones i have seen in Ireland i know that americans are not stupid wow what a strange way to dissect an extrodinary film
Football (you call it soccer) is bigger than basketball even tho basketball is WAY better. Like in England and Ireland it is HUGE cos soccer is like was all the men watch.
des noires qui se sentent opprimés par les blancs.J'ai des amis arabes et noirs qui ont des maitrises et des doctorats et qui réussissent très
bien dans la vie.Les élèves que l'on voit ressemblent à des élèves bretons ou corses. Certains sont de grosses feignasses qui ne veulent rien foutre et veulent faire chier leurs profs.Cela n'a rien à voir avec le racisme.
ouais, mais en meme temps, ce sont des ados qui doivent aller en cours 8 heures par jours, cinq fois par semaine. a leur age, j'avais pas une super grande envie de fair ca non plus!
i think they just talk shit about american football as the world sees football played with the round ball. that was a sixers jersey that carl was wearing in the film. basketball and the NBA is huge in europe.
its true but its like going to america and saying which is bigger soccer or basketball. alot more people will say basketball but some will say soccer. but no matter any way you look at it basketball is bug in europe but compared to soccer its nothing.
Look at this. So here is the lover of the language of the toads. Have I hurt you? Uh? I am obliged to study French at university, so this is the reason why I hate it. English is the way better, than French. Or, maybe, you would defend my fucking Russian?

Try to speak another language, the movie is in french so speak french, I try to speak english for you understand what I tell ^^' and I'm polite with you so be polite with me ! It's no hard you know...
Frily1 10 months ago
@BoToGo1 The irony here is; you're the dumb ass for not understanding how difficult it is to speak another language other than your native tongue. You don't understand that, because you've never tried. You've never tried because you're physically incapable.
So, do us all a favour. Stand up, turn around, and get the fuck out of your basement.

@FatherFizz You don't know shit about me so how are you gonna say I don't know how to speak any other language and I'm just doing what they do to us. You think you like the French so much go over their and see how much they'll treat you like shit regardless if you are open to their culture and not like an "average" American.
BoToGo1 10 months ago
@BoToGo1 I know that you're ignorant and uneducated. You make that very clear indeed. The comment I replied to and "I'm just doing what they do to us" proves that beyond any doubt.
I do go over there, as a matter of fact. I spend two months of every year in Paris. But this isn't about the French in particular - this is about your blatant disregard for any language other than your own and for the people that speak it.
Oh, and it's "go over there" not "go over their". Ironic, eh.

@Frily1 ok calm down. not all americans are like that.. stop generalizing. for example: i do not like bombs, and i dont care about cars.............. if you think all americans are heartless and stupid, then open YOUR eyes and try to be realistic.... thanks

Oh, I'm calm and I really don't think you are stupid, I said some stereotypes, the stereotypes are like rumors sometimes they are true sometimes false. Try to know us, like we try to understand and to speak your language, if we try to understand and to know eachother everything would be okay

I feel asleep with freedom writers so I can't say that it was bad but it defintely wasn't good enough for me to stay awake. This films contains some of the best acting I've seen thus far. I was astonished by all performances. Esmerelda blew me away, she was just a bolt of good ole energy. I hope they pursue something great in life as I hope for all students around the world. They have much to achieve. Holla to ma peeps in France.

i'm surprised this movie was exported to US and this is not dubbed (don't you get bored with subtitles ?)
moreover don't get impressed by this class; in france it's still a "kind" one
i like the way it represents french young society, since it shows our huge ethnic diversity
finally i'd like to thank american people for enjoying our culture and our language as i enjoy theirs
fortpflanzor 2 years ago 3
@fortpflanzor
don't brush subtitles out completely. They allow the viewer to really grasp the intonation of the speaker, where as dubs are usually cheesy and not well done. if you watch it enought subtitles just become second nature to the viewer, PLUS you learn the language!
Mariangello 2 years ago 6
you're maybe right, but when we watch dubbed US movies in france, they are even better as the actors who dub improve the toun of the original actor
fortpflanzor 2 years ago
The french actor is better than the US actor?
(trying to make sense of that lol)
That is probably true as we have a lot of mediocre "actors" in the states...but we also have some very good ones too!
I guess I prefer to watch foreign films (i am american) in the original language with subtitles because I like to get as much of the cultures expression as possible
Mariangello 2 years ago
no french suck a lot (and there are few exceptions)
but an actor dubbing another one is always better because he only has to say a text, not to act with his body
however some actors are so excellent that the dub is ridiculous compared to their performance
fortpflanzor 2 years ago
@fortpflanzor Vaut mieux entendre ça que d'être sourd.
Please don't pay any attention to this previous comment, in no way does dubbing improve a film, and in no way a dubbing actor gets it better than the original one.

C'est le cliché de la banlieue avec des arabes et

bien dans la vie.Les élèves que l'on voit ressemblent à des élèves bretons ou corses. Certains sont de grosses feignasses qui ne veulent rien foutre et veulent faire chier leurs profs.Cela n'a rien à voir avec le racisme.
