My favorite scene from Frederick Wiseman's 1968 documentary "High School." Simon & Garfunkel's The Dangling Conversation is examined in a High School Poetry class.

  • I want to take this class!

  • All your comments miss the entire point of this film. This is direct cinema... something that renders real life as close and intimate as possible. If you would watch the entire film, you would see that Weisman is taking you through an actuality- not some hipster rendering - of high school life in 1968. You guys are as dim as glow sticks on a sunny afternoon.

  • Cool.

  • Watching the whole clip, like, watching the teacher play the tape and go 'Yes, I picked this music' makes me make the assumption that is is a 'how to be a consumer hipster person' except for the 1960s.

    and it is a rather unfair assumption at that, the lyrics ARE quite good.

    I wonder what made me think that.

  • dA teacher is like 'oh my god I am on camera'
