I so would have done that! lmao

This is one of my favorite parts of cinema. I mean, underestimating of another person completely. A bully getting owned, but not physically - but with words. Staying calm until the very end which angered the bully even more. The bully, believed himself to be of superior mind, was shown for the mental midget he truly was.

I'm a student of literature myself, you have no idea how many times a week we talk about this movie!!!

Professor Crawford should've received academy nomination for this role even though we still hating him 20yrs later. He was brilliant.

Indeed, I remember my kid sister stating how much she HATED seeing (Abraham) the actor in other movies BECAUSE of this role.... took her some time to realize that if she hated him, then he performed the role perfectly.

No worries he got the academy award for best actor when he portrayed Salieri in Amadeus.

F. Murray Abraham plays such a damn good villain. What a wonderful actor.

Hardly underappreciated. He won numerous awards for his iconic portrayal of Antonio Salieri. I can see why people would say "underappreciated" but I think it's because he chose to do more theater as opposed to film, like other Academy Award winners.

Wish this film was on Netflix. I watched it only once back in middle or jr high school

Brilliant and gifted minds don’t think of themselves as such, many things just come easy to them. The smartest lads in high school didn’t even take notes they just kept quiet and paid attention!

Depending on the topic, sometimes we talk about Jamal's or Forrester's attitude towards literature. We even takled once about this particular scene regarding European literature, you know, Kipling, Dickens, Shaw etc...

F. Murray Abraham did one hell of an acting performance. I bet he’s a great guy in real life but MAN - this character needs a punch

No kidding, still dislike him after this performance and for all we know he's the nicest person in real life.

I, too, really like this scene and this movie.

I think the instructor's reaction is not typical. Teachers are usually elated to not have a dummy in class. Usually instructors add certain things to make class challenging for gifted students. Reminds me of Calculus at Ohio State - there is Calculus and then Calculus on Manifolds - which takes it to another level. Math was my best subject but after calculus 2, I was done - with no desire to continue.

I dealt with a few pompous a$$ professors like this one in my day. Still do with bosses. Maybe that's why I'm not at the top of the corporate ladder.

Your reply just gave me another excuse to watch one of my favorite intellectual sparring matches in cinema.

And that's what makes a bad teacher. The one who uses knowledge not to educate or humble but to brag and humiliate. And who when confronted with knowledge takes it as attempt to ridicule, who resorts to petty acts when his own are thrown back at his face.

It was like the Woo-off between Ric Flair and Jay Lethal.

There are times when you the student can correct a professor in a professional kind way. A real teacher would applaud you and apply what they learned.

Thanks to this movie, I know the difference between farther and further.

This is a gem

Ere Sin could blight or Sorrow fade, death came with friendly care, the opening bud to Heaven conveyed and bade it blossom there.

Wonderful movie.

"Get Out." "Jordan Peele."

The rap in the beginning sparked it for me!

It's very obvious you didn't watch the movie in full. "what you saw" is a clip. Jamal's character here is that of a brilliant literary mind evolving while he is still in high school.His secret collaboration with Mr.Forrester in creative writing is noteworthy.This teacher is a frustrated writer in the story..Kapish?

Safespace for the Arrogant Professors in universities of today.

Professor Crawford treats boss students like they are in first grade. I don’t think anyone could be more condescending.

liked this film for several reasons. lit can be great if you have the right teachers. unfortunately, my school district had a knack for hiring starry-eyed young lovers of victorian romances and frustrated old bastards to teach our lit classes, one of whom had a grand time belittling me and my writing in front of the class - on several occasions. i escaped his class and went from a "d" average to an "a-." within two years i was contributing pieces to the school yearbook. 20 years later i was published - and he still isn't. eat it, bill vincent!

Your exquisite demeanor is continuously demeaning.

most of the time a person get bullied because he is better than the one who bullied him.

As an English major I had to deal with my share of pompous professors. They make their subject a misery when it should be a joy. Your average English professor has enough linguistic knowledge under their belt to know the central core of linguistics: the nature of language is change. And yet if you utter one colloquialism in their presence they will browbeat you and grade you through the floor. But they will give Faulkner a pass because, well, he's canon. But Faulkner wasn't always so accepted. In fact, there was a widely held belief that Faulkner was illiterate. They didn't understand his use of the colloquial voice. It was too much for them. Every writer had to be stiff like George Elliot or Henry James. They wouldn't let the language breathe.

must be Pompous.Always need a bad guy. Even knowing that you may be labeled as a whatever. admire the courage while hating the character. I ask this.

Crawford: man is the only animal that... Me: G.I. JANE

Words are powerful weapons..either for good or evil.

I hated literature in high school and college. It was a waste of time learning it because I NEVER used it in life.

Rest in Peace Eternally

EPIC OWNED!!!

I wish professor Crawford would have been my teacher in high school. Instead, I had an idiot for English Literature class.

Well this reply is late but in case you're still wondering: The professor is teaching literature and the "challenge" on the board was to guess the author of the passage. (the quote he kept asking Coleridge) Then when Jamal corrected the professor about the use of further vs. farther he got insulted and decided to continue challenging what Jamal knew about literature by quoting literature and have him guess the authors. Basically this is like a dick measuring contest except they're measuring actual knowledge about literature.

Hhahahahahaha gett out hahaha

Only in a movie.

The BMW emblem story is a myth. The blue and white comes from the Bavarian state flag. The propeller idea came from a magazine cover where the emblem was superimposed on an airplane propeller, fifteen years or so after the emblem was actually introduced.

No one wants a minority to be the smartest and most confident person in a room

"Bully"? No, what I saw was a teacher frustrated as hell because his class didn't do their homework. He was giving them the business and they deserved it. And "superior mind"? One kid actually did his homework and then parroted lines from it back at the teacher, who threw him out for being an arrogant smart ass. "Congratulations for doing your homework, what do you want, a cookie? Quit disrupting my class, you jerk..." Man, you kids are sensitive these days... "Bully"?

You didn't watch the movie. He did not "do the homework assignment" you pretentious twat. This professor has a history of humiliating his students to stroke his ego. Furthermore, doing so gets him humiliated publicly. That prodigy that's schooling him left and right is the protagonist of the film and he's accomplished more in his 18 years than his professor has in his entire life. You would know that if you bothered to watch the fucking movie.
