You have to invest yourself and sacrifice. Kanisha hit the nail on the head at the meeting when she said clark was like a father to some them because he wanted them to succeed more than getting a big check or accolades. No other teacher/staff at the school had that type of alpha male dedication and care. Either too scared, followers, or collecting a check....

Wilson Fisk ik I had chills

When I was in high school, our principal was like Morgan Freeman's character in this movie, intimidating to look at, but easy to talk to. His name was William Huizinga, and he stood about 6'4" tall, and weighed about 250 pounds. Every day, he could be seen walking around the school in a suit and tie, and hamming it up with whoever he came across, whether they were a teacher, or a student. He was always at home sporting events, wearing his loggers gear, loggers was what our teams were called. When I graduated high school in 2001, I went to shake his hand, and he said, "the day I shake your hand is the day you show me your driver's license." A few years later, after I got my driver's license, I saw him after my brother's graduation commencement, and I said, "I believe we had a deal." He looked at me with a stunned look on his face, so I said, "you remember when you told me a few years ago that the day you shook my hand was the day I showed you my driver's license?" Let's just say he fulfilled his end of the deal right then and there. A few months later, I read about his cancer diagnosis, and when I called the school to ask about him, I was informed that he had died. Now, if you were to go to Onalaska (Washington) high school, you'll see a brick garden around the school sign, and right next to where Mr. Huizinga would park his car, you'll see a plaque that contains one of his favorite sayings, "It's A Great Day To Be A Logger." Rest in peace, Bill. We miss you, man.

Joshua Brooks omg this is sad

The eye contact of lead songbird and Mr. Clark during the singing is tremendous.

There's a bigger principle of leadership in this scene that I really enjoy. To this point, Mr. Clark (Morgan Freeman) has been trying to get his vision of Eastside High to the "roots" of the school - the students, teachers, community, etc. That's why he's such a hard a** at the beginning - as the saying goes, "do the right things, and feelings/emotions will follow." He needed to change behavior before the heart could be changed. Mr. Clark wanted independent thinkers that wanted what was best for the school, not behaviors done because "we've always done them" (note: any educator knows what I'm talking about here.) At this point, Mrs. Powers took a risk that Mr. Clark wants to see out of everyone - a risk that leads to better students, a better school, and a better future for the kids. The exchange was, in his own way, realizing that. And a big reason why he's all chipper (for maybe the first time in the movie to this point) immediately after. Great leaders find ways to get their vision/mission into the hearts of those they lead so that the leader's vision becomes their follower's vision - and that's exactly what was described here in a mere four minutes.

Most people dont realize that although he was low key insulting the kids with those remarks, his love for them and his dedication towards seeing them beat the system does not make those words sting. Teachers today just dont understand that relationships are everything. You must build relationships with kids. They don't care about what you think about them until they think that you care.

You know why I loved men like Joe Clark? Because once upon a time, it was okay to DEMAND better. Not just ask for it, or hope for it. But EXPECT it. That school (Eastside High) improved because he was a taskmaster who DEMANDED those students be better than the expectations the outside world and maybe (mostly?) they had for themselves. When you have people's best interest in heart and mind, you should be pushing them to strive to be more than they are. We need that back.

Right he thought he was gonna in there and show them up then call their parents and go on about how misbehaved they were. They started singing he couldn't say a damn thing.

"Oooooh Lord" line gets me every line

Darnell's reaction to the hi-five is hilarious. That song changed Clark's whole mood.

Man oh man, that's some beautiful harmony! I love when singers can harmonize like that.

"SAMS!!!" "Whaa..?" hahhahahah gets me everytime

2021 and this sense still give me the chills 🤭

I just saw this movie for the first time today 😂 I'm in love

Anybody else frustrated that 'Joe Clark' cut the boys off mid singing? I wanted to hear them sing the ENTIRE song in the bathroom! Lol!

BlackQuills if you listen closely the rest of the song is playing while Clark is walking through the highway.

@@agstruth6322 Yes, I realize that but I wanted to hear the group singing the entire song in front of the camera, uninterrupted.

Love it! And Morgan Freeman's face through the whole song is priceless!

Magical thing about this scene was the fact that it was his 1st(Mr. Clarke's) time hearing that version. Then to realize that the music teacher, Mrs. Powers had made something out of his young men that who knew only needed some true guidance and sense of direction. He amazed at the talent that he's witnessing from which many in the neighborhood possibly considered a lost cause. Magnificent scene!

Besides this 🎥 BEING A CLASSIC.It's based on a TRUE story & TRUE SCHOOL in New Jersey. Shout outs 2 The 80's & 90's 4 raising me. DON'T EVER 4get WHERE UR FROM plus humble beginnings.When teachers gave a damn..❤

Everybody knows this alma mater but not their own high school's lol...I never learned mine but I know this one. Thank you Mrs. Powers!

I know I'm not the only one that gets chills listening to this, right?

Nope!

This scene is REMARKABLE!!!! OMG, I have to watch it like 10 times before I can move on 💗

I became a teacher partly due to this movie. Beautifully sung. RIFF was an awesome group back in my high school years. Nearly four decades later, I’m still trying to sing the first tenor parts as best as I can.

Morgan Freeman’s look as they start to sing always gets me

I can't be the only one that gets goosebumps watching this scene every time I watch it I tear up too this is just so beautiful

My fav scene 😍😍 I love my 90 movies and the music

Ashley Colston Very much a classic! I remember seeing this at the theater when I was younger (around 9 I believe) with my mom. Lean On Me, Five Heartbeats, Color Purple, Coming To America, What's Love Got To Do With It, I'm Gonna Get You Sucka....a few movies that's will always be in my favorites list and such classics😀

Real talk sexy.

I think the moment at 3:30 was super important to note ! You can tell that he (Joe Clark) had a new feeling, a kind of hope for East side high - that fist thrust was because he saw his students shine and get excited about something and have pride in their school! The excitement he feels is because his students are becoming more excited! Even the staff was looking at him in an odd fashion because he’s (Joe Clark) isn’t usually that enthusiastic or upbeat while walking the halls of the school- and That to me is the most powerful part of this whole sene ! LOVE the harmony and that we can hear the young men singing in the background after he delivers the line to Mrs. Powers

This is one of the best classic movies.

Funny thing about the group singing in the bathroom (RIFF) is that they were a group from Patterson, NJ and they all went to Eastside High in real life and it is actually the place where there group was formed

It sure can there is a bunch of movies that I still watch (Lean On Me, Sister Act 1&2, The Temptations, etc.) I find myself singing like I was actually in the movie/group. Always loved Music.🥰

Mr Clark fooled Mrs Powers...but heck once you find out he actually LIKED the song and gave a compliment I'd be crying and cheering too. Heck I am after watching this scene over and over. Song made him so happy he was actually nice to everyone. wow lol

The look when the harmonies kicked in ✨💖✨

Fair Eastside High, Fair Eastside By thy side we'll stand and always praise thy name To heaven, yeah lend our hearts and hands to help increase thy fame. (oh lord) The honor yeah, of old Eastside High brings forth our loyalty. (loyalty loyalty) So cheer for dear old Eastside High lead on to victory
