I love this movie

Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2018

Verified Purchase

I love this movie. As a teacher who suffers from depression and PTSD because of my impossible, stressful, and dehumanizig job, I can appreciate Jaime Escalante and his passion, which I really think is more of a madness. I watch this movie, and temporarily I think, "maybe I could be this great too!!" But then I go to my poor school in the hood, where the kids are ruthless and go for the jugular and the parents cuss you out because you expect homework to be turned in and you don't think, "You need to chill. I was busy and didn't have effing time to do, okay?" is the correct response for why it wasn't. It's during these times, I think, "what would Jaime do?" and I tell myself, "he would help and never give up on the keeeedz." Then I laugh and am somehow able to make it through the days, weeks, and months.

Great film

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is an inspiring film, based on a true story, about Jaime Escalante, a teacher with unorthodox methods, who got amazing results. Most of the students who stuck with him passed the AP Calculus exam, a notoriously difficult test.

The story is true, but the results were obtained over a longer period of time than depicted in the film. The teacher also had help in designing the math program.

Unfortunately, Escalante eventually left, the program was disbanded, and once again students from disadvantaged backgrounds were not challenged. To this day, the success has not been replicated.

I don't believe there was some kind of mysterious teaching method at play. I think it was a huge amount of work for Escalante and his students.

This film left me wondering if most of our barriers are self imposed.

Barriers Are Not Self Imposed It Really Does Take A Dedicated TEACHER!!

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2021

Verified Purchase

And it does take a dedicated teacher that lights a fire under the kids TO LEARN people! I know I was a product of the awful Los Angeles Unified School District! It was abysmal! The teachers I remember were prejudiced, overwhelmed, tired, exasperated ( we kids were referred to as 'You People' and those same teachers overall acted bored with teaching us. Teachers didn't expect much and you know what? I didn't expect much out of myself. Add to it a problematic home life and depression soon was my pal. These students were no different IT WAS THE TEACHER! Escalante said Yes you can do it your intelligent, math is in your blood! Then of course came the hard work which isn't easy for anyone! Everyone needs that someone to PUSH them. I don't think that the one particular reviewer(on here) gets that. Public schools especially with a higher percentage of Black & Brown indoctrinate the kids to fail & aim low in achievement. Unlike schools in the richer areas All I remember from the L.A.U.S.D. all the teachers cared about was that we had our own book covers(that had to be made or bought) on those tired beat up textbooks! Thats all those bozo's cared about.
One of his former students from a graduating class from the 80's works at NASA and was part of the MARS project. See anyone can learn & be good at math. It isn't for a select few anyone can learn it. I'm in Math Analysis now and I was called stupid by teachers & classmates alike while I was in elementary, middle, high school. So see?

Olmos and cast really shine

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is a great, (mostly) true story about a one-of-a-kind math teacher (Eddie Olmos), and the teenage misfits he inspires to succeed. It really shows you how great an actor is Edward James Olmos, then and now, as well as Lou Diamond Phillips, two of my favorite American actors. The sets look so real, it seems that they might've actually filmed inside a run-down public school in in East Los Angeles. An uplifting story full of interesting characters.

Students must see this!

Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2020

"Stand and Deliver" is such a great movie for kids to see and still relate to. My seniors almost rioted when I paused the video to hurry them to their next class! *lol* It's so awesome to see how well this movie aged over time. One of the my students liked the movie so much, she wanted to show the trailer to her parents and hoped they could watch the movie together. Her father smiled and said he saw that movie when it came out and was genuinely happy that his daughter appreciated the movie as well. Excellent movie and I definitely recommend it for all teachers and students.

Inspirational and factual story, but definitely not for the woke or enlightened.

Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2022

Verified Purchase

Society is definitely changing, but it's going downhill rapidly. Here's the opinion of the diverse and enlightened New America.org:
"Please Stop Talking About 'Stand and Deliver', on behalf of all students of color everywhere, please stop (using this story). It’s old, cliché and downright offensive.”:
So if you think of yourself as either woke or enlightened, don;t waste your time watching this. It will hurt your fragile sensibilities.

A truly excellent movie, AND it's a true story

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2021

Verified Purchase

I used to show this film on VHS when I taught high school in a district where kids didn't think much of themselves and where administrative expectations were low. I have no idea whether or not the message "took," but if just one kid was inspired by it, it was worth it. I absolutely love this movie - it's an all-time favorite, plus it's a TRUE STORY!

Great movie to watch with my teenage daughter

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2013

Verified Purchase

I was telling my daughter about this great math teacher who had overcome incredible odds. I was glad to see that this title was available on Amazon On-Demand so that I could stream it on my Roku player. Having raised my daughter in a pretty typical upper middle class neighborhood, I thought that this would be a great movie for my daughter to watch to give her some perspective on how good her life is, and how much more she should appreciate it. This is such a great inspirational movie to watch seeing a group of kids who weren't even given a chance to excel at such a difficult exam. I loved how the movie ended by showing increasing number of students who continued to pass the AP exam, year after year. I have been a fan of Edward James Olmos ever since the Miami Vice days, yes, I am seriously dating myself now!

Let Down

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 13, 2009

Verified Purchase

I havent quite watched this to the end yet. I ordered it becasue I am a teacher and got some stuff from Tom Daly on turning your most disruptive child into your best pupil with this are some movie notes and this was one of the movies. Toms stuff is excellent and I trusted his judgement. Also Tony Robbins sings the praises of this teacher who inspires his pupils. From what I have seen this guy would not have inspired me. He does not deal with his pupils in the way I expected at all. The movis seems dated and does not grip me. Pupils today even in Junior can be harder to deal with than these high school kids who are obviuosly just acting. It is not vivid, real and passionate for me.

Think you're a teacher ? watch this film.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 21, 2013

Verified Purchase

Invaluable insight into what it truly takes to be a real teacher. A 'must have' for anyone entering the profession, and for those who have been there for most of their lives... watch it, digest it, and learn. The only drawback with this version, since it is aimed at the domestic market, is that quite a few scenes from the original film are not shown. However, this does not detract from the message. Every teacher, and indeed every parent should have a copy.

A touching movie

I read the review of this movie and purchased it. Very nice movie. My kids love it. We watched the movie several times so far. And we were impressed by the teacher. We have an old saying in China, it took ten years effort to raise a tree but took 100 years effort to raise a human being. A great teacher is a gift from god.

I have always enjoyed it. It proves disadvantaged people can be just as good if given a chance. It also shows that in a white country, you have to work twice as hard to be half as good if you are the wrong colour.
