Finding Forrester - Coleridge, Kipling, and more
Фильм және анимация
This scene of "Finding Forrester" cites several poets. First Professor Crawford (F. Murray Abraham) recites part of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem "Epitaph on an Infant." Then he and Jamal (Rob Brown) finish each other sentences as they quote Shaw, Twain, and more. Visit my channel for more films that quote poetry.

They both had Oscars on their respective shelves before this movie, and they should have had more!
'Yeah, I'll get out'. He should've said 'Yes, I'll get out' ;-)

Its kind of a stretch but maybe he spoke informally as a way to fulfill the stereotype of how the crusty bastard perceives him.
What a wonderful movie! I suggest to everybody, even to myself, more books, less internet.
F.Murray is an actor's actor.he can make you love or hate a character like few can.

Not really. All of his roles although memorable to a degree, you always end up wondering “what’s that guys name that was in….” Like Scarface but with respect to Amadeus(by far the only role he was amazing in, as well as given a main role) You still end up wondering what was that actors name.
YOU'RE THE MAN NOW DAWG!!!!
Epic seen proving that all people can be intelligent even from a rugged environment.
Other than the aspect ratio being off, one of the best scenes in this movie! Thanks for the upload.
Best part out if the entire movie
great to see someone post this great scene, well done
Love this scene!
Great movie
This is how smart people fight.
We can all get a lesson from someone who knows a bit more than we do
Such an amazing movie.
so nice movie .. i enjoy it every time.
The Professor is Omar Suarez from Scarface.
my sister one time corrected a high school teacher, he didn't believe her at first but he didn't treat her like crap like this guy. Next day, in front of the class, he told her she had full marks for the day. He reminded everyone of what happened the day before and said she was right. She was soooo embarrassed! I had that teacher and he was a great guy!
It's Jimmy Darmody from Boardwalk :)
best scene in the movie!
F. Murray Abraham plays such a great villian.

Yes, an Oscar winner with lots of great roles in his resume.
The whole truth, dating way back to childhood/teenage years. Ya'll used me. May God have mercy on ya'lls soul

Just saw the movie last night while visiting my parents. Good film! The professor reminds me of one I once had. Although the one I had was a little nicer than this guy. Still liked to make students feel small though.
What ever happened to Claire and Jamal in the future? Great movie. One of the best I have seen in a long time. In my opinion.
epic ownage!
this movie is pretty good.

@Soulquarium Respectfully, 'pwned' is in common usage and has a rather delightful etymology. I would further (ahem) suggest that Jamal did pwn Professor Crawford--and Crawford needed to be pwned and brought down to earth. I agree with you, though, that Jamal also succeeded in educating Crawford, demonstrating that teaching is a two-way affair. He thus changed the balance of power in the classroom. And in that respect, one might say that, indeed, he pwned Professor Crawford.
Crawford made two accounts and disliked the video.

Not exactly a soup question is it ! 🤣

Gus Van Zandt was a genius.
@mrcharless0853 Crawford absolutely got "pwn'd." However, as far as the etymology being delightful I feel this a bad choice of words. Its origins spring from Call of Duty as a "leet speak" term. Second, it most likely arose from a simple typo as "o" and "p" are directly next to eachother on the standard English keyboard. Fearing reprisals from fellow gamers I imagine he made it seem purposeful with a sentence that followed as such: "Yeah, thats right! I said it! You suck so badly you got pwned!"
fucking owned.
je n'ai rien compris :'(
I miss Sean Connery in movies.
No, plenty of my teachers were well educated...
And the lead actor in "Amadeus", for which he won the Oscar.
Really? REALLY? I don't think race was meant to matter here. I'm Asian and I admire this scene very much!

Love watching this scene. Here after Trump and COVID I cheated death 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I know mine is not the point of this scene, but - Crawford was doing well with this lecture until he started ranting “GET OUT!”. While “messing with” Coleridge he refrained from personal attacks, he just kept dragging the name “Coleridge” around to see if anyone could connect the student with the passage. Clearly Jamal could, and eventually did - and Crawford was fairly gracious when Jamal spoke up. He was also gracious (enough) when he was challenging Jamal, while Jamal’s answers were borderline-pissy…Crawford’s demeanor was well within acceptable standards until Jamal’s smirking “come on, professor Crawford” accompanied by a petulant “sit back, in rejection”. I know Jamal is a hormonal teen (from the “streets” culture) but he’s also enlightened enough to not expect deference from his teachers - or, he should have had a better idea of how this exchange would end if he did not re-direct the testosterone contest.

You have to view this scene within the context of the film however. Crawford had been berating and embarrassing his students the whole time and had a known reputation for this. Yes if you look witin a vacuum one might think he did nothing wrong, but within the context of the entire film you can see otherwise. Also, how were Jamal's answers pissy? Cuz he correctly answered them? And him being hormonal has nothing to do with the "streets", he's simply a teenager. Teenagers in the most lilly white suburban neighborhoods act the same way. Also, he knew exactly how this exchange would end hence why he did it.

Jamal did not _eventually_ connect the passage to the name of the author. In an earlier scene where Jamal and Forrester are watching *Jeopardy,* Forrester erroneously assumes that Jamal didn't know the author of _The Scarlet Taniger._ Jamal not only _knew_ that it was *James Lowell,* he mockingly mouths the poem word-for-word as Forrester recites it aloud. He _immediately_ recognized both the passages and their respective authors of _every_ passage that Crawford quoted before Crawford could even finish reciting the quotes themselves. Given all of that, do you _really_ still believe that Jamal _eventually_ realized who authored _Epitaph On An Infant_ only after a classmate's name was spoken repeatedly? Crawford saying the name 'Coleridge' over and over was done deliberately to sarcastically barrage hints at _student John Coleridge,_ as well as for the benefit of the viewing audience, so that when revealed - we would understand. Crawford intended for Coleridge _himself_ to pick up on these hints. Jamal kept quiet and didn't answer because during his first visit to Mailer, Claire informed Jamal that Crawford and many of instructors at the school loved to hear themselves talk, and didn't really _want_ student participation during their lectures. Student John Coleridge himself confirmed Claire's advice just after Jamal's first encounter with Crawford, by telling Jamal that he had handled himself with Crawford "the right way," by _not saying _*_anything._* Jamal knew the author of this passage immediately, just as knew all of the others throughout the movie (Lowell, Kipling, Shaw, Twain, etc) immediately. He just didn't _intend_ to answer for the above reasons. Eventually, Jamal became frustrated as Crawford publicly embarrassed his classmate/friend for a prolonged period of time, so Jamal simply attempted to help him. Crawford noticed that Jamal was trying to tell his classmate something, and demanded to know what Jamal said. It wasn't until then, that Jamal spoke up and answered Crawford directly. Jamal knew the author all along. Gus Van Zant depicts numerous examples of Jamal being a literary savant, who memorizes practically _everything_ that he reads, including trivial details like who first introduced *Sherlock Holmes* to *Watson.* You _really_ should watch the movie again

I don't know what ya'll have everybody believing but ya'll need to tell them the truth.

If you're insinuating that I plagiarized anything, you're full of shit. It's the exact opposite, you stole my work. And if you keep playing the video as some sort of analogy or metaphor to something else, I never challenged anyone, I just don't back down, especially if I'm "in the right". And the get you some money suggestions just make me laugh cause all the money I've made ya'll lol, I'll ride this mofo till the wheels fall off I thought I told ya
How disrespectful. Wallace should stfu and should respect his teacher. And the professor should just thank Wallace.

Alot more going on here than just the scene. The professor was a pompous asshole who liked to embarrass his students. Wallace was the first one to stand up to him. Yea could have done it in a different way but it needed to be done.

Many teachers make poor judgements on students abilities. I have seen teachers like crawford, racist condescending rat bags. -Johnny
That's ignorant and mean. Have a little of respect.
yawn: first of all the one with the big mouth is Wallace. (he said no more than you're challenging Coleridge) second of all: the teacher was talking about basketball and not the basketball court. third: further and farther both relate to distance and to degree. The acting is good, the script writer should get himself a dictionary.

Farther is used more for physical distance whereas further is more figurative.

The commenter should use punctuation.
The "further" vs "farther" thing is bullshit. The boy is nitpicking. Further and farther derive from the SAME ETYMOLOGY. They're simply variants of the same word. He probably doesn't even know what the word grammar means. Let alone the etymology of it.
