I agree, I think Siskel and Ebert gave it 2 thumbs up, but not without some harsh criticism which goes to show they were out of touch with how those private schools were.
When ceaser spoke up "to whom" he was brave. I had not notice that before, he was trying to save his friend. He's picked on and shown as weak but when it counts he is the bravest even though he is the victim. Who was the teacher trying to get justice for? This is a great movie.
His friend was trying to save him because he was smarter so he took the brunt of it in the Hope's he would be spared, graduate and hopefully do something good in the world. His friend was used to being beaten so frequently offered himself up as a shield playing matador!

This is such a good but underrated movie, and it truly nails a community. Top performances by all, the actor who plays Brother Constance is excellent and scary
Brother Constance is EXACTLY like the dean of students at the Catholic high school I went to. A fanatic in every sense of the word. He didn't whip out PATIENCE but he was still a loony in a dress.
Went to an all boys Catholic HS in Boston - Class of 84. It was very high on discipline and you were called out quickly if you got out of line. There was a smidge of corporal punishment still there during that time and the older kids and alums when I was a freshman confirmed it was a little more so in their day but overall, the clergy and lay teachers were all pretty cool guys who, though tough, knew how to connect with students with tough love respect for us - which made it easier to respect them back. A lot of my former classmates and myself feel pretty lucky to have gone there for the discipline and for the comradery we gained (in part because of the discipline.)
Yeah, I did MY "time," in Catholic school as well. It was ... cumbersome (?) to say the least, but my "time," did not compare to the stories Pop told me about HIS "time," at Catholic school in the Philippines ... being locked in a small, dark, room with a COFFIN for hours on end, kinda made my complaints about being grabbed by my sideburns seem trivial.
BarzOnTheWindow1 Haha yeah I guess my complaints are fairly trivial then as well, but since they can't hurt us these days they've come up with Saturday detentions and ridiculous uniform checks.
Saturday detentions aren't new! I went to one in the mid- late '70's and I knew one of nun that gave them. So there was already such a thing. Uniform checks were alittle more lax, except for being told to tuck in you shirt/blouse or boys to button up that second button etc.
The movie is based on experiences the screenwriter had I believe growing up, so I won't discount the narrative and story, but to think this movie is the "norm" of Catholic Schools is looking at it incorrectly. Corporal punishment was also used in public schools and it was more prevalent in the south (which is protestant heavy), thus corporal punishment in protestant schools also happened. The facts of corporal punishment is that it happened, and unfortunately teachers like the one above existed, but they were certainly not the norm. Teachers like him existed in public schools as well. So to throw the Catholic school system under the bus for abusive teachers is not entirely justified. It happened, but they were not alone and my money is on them not being the worst offenders.
@@ldcbossrob3938 my father filmed as an extra in the movie too. Wes Morris is his name. He’s the guy eating lunch next to Andrew McCarthy and Malcom Danare
Whenever my Dad talks with his old school friends he always talks about the fathers beating some kids like "Aw yeah I remember you god father so pissed off he beat you for 5 min straight" and I'm sitting there thinking "wtf you talking about this like it was the fuckin good times"
This is the best teen film of the 80's. The actor that played Brother Constance is one of the best villians in movie history and should have been nominated for an Oscar. He's such a sick bastard.
Before this movie, he played a cotton seed dealer in Places in the Heart, that movie where Sally Field and her right hand Danny Glover half-killed themselves picking cotton night and day to keep the farm and he tried to screw her when she bought the seed, then tried to screw her again when she brought in the first batch of cotton to get an extra $100. She won the deal, but disguised himself as a klansman trying to kill Glover saying “nigger, I ain’t finished with you yet”
Great, catholic schools should be about teachers bringing people to God, not bringing them to God out of fear and punishment and pain, that’s not what God wanted.
I have a feeling the frequent use of the word fag has something to do with. As PC as things are now it wouldn't surprise me if the networks refused to air it on this basis.
Those of us who went to Catholic school in Brooklyn in the 1960s know how true the story is, except the violence was worse and nobody saved us in the end.
Qué hermosa película,esta película me trae muchos recuerdos cuando en 1993 iba a la "escuela evangélica Bautista"✍✝:-\📖📕de San justo. Cuántos recuerdos, mi primera novia Nidia Jiménez nunca la he olvidado....bueno el tiempo pasa hoy 2018 Todo cambio, muy buena película y muy hermosos recuerdos me trae a Dios.👍🇦🇷🌴.
Al Kelly I loved his role. He was a level-headed and nonjugmental person in such a crazy institution that hated everything and everybody that didn’t follow every single rule.
I went to a catholic elementary school in the 60s and this was normal. Until I was in 6th grade and came home looking like I'd went 2 rounds with joe Frazier. The head nun caught me holding hands with a 6th grade girl n smacked me 3 times in face .hard.my mother went down there next day n cleaned house bigtime.
I know and aknowledge of course that students in our Nation's schools Kids need very strict,strong discipline and that Brother Constance is a Monk and a holy man who is a member of the Roman Catholic clergy;and clergymen definitely deserve to be respected,by Roman Catholic school children,But Most of all,nonetheless NO ONE at all,especially young children deserve to be abused with sick,twisted,cruel diabolical brutality,and thus Constance is the Deviant and guilty party and most of all nonetheless not to mention a mean shitty old man who at the close of this film gets everything 100% he deserves From Micheal Dunn and Brother Thaddeus pure and simple.
Could someone tell me the Celtic Irish Music featured in the movie most notably in the beginning and when Williams was giving Communion to the girls. I think it's great!!
He is like many nuns in school and teachers in elementary school. When Corporal Punishment policies were killed, it destroyed teachers like Brother Constance.
I remember in high school the English teacher had lost control of some unruly boys momentarily...I was oblivious to this as I was doing my work, and asked the teacher a question in regards to my work. He must of thought I was taking the mick because suddenly his face became contorted and he whacked his huge wooden ruler on my head. The class being 12yrs old at the time all laughed, including me for a split second, until the pain hit me literally....I'm pretty sure he cut my head slightly....he got away with it though back in 1985.....
My father and i saw this movie when it came out. He went to an all boys school in the 1950s and he said these brothers were straight on. This is how they acted
Yeah, I'm about to go a Catholic high school next year and my friends there have a lot of fun and give high fives to their principal! And they may have a uniform I don't like to wear, but it's an awesome school!
Here's an interesting fact. There's a lady named Siobhan McCarthy who played the very first Donna in Mamma Mia and I wonder if they are related. She also appeared in the British Drama Bad Girls as Roisin (pronounced Roysheen) Connor. If you type in Cassie & Roisin, you'd see her face. She's very pretty.
The only thing that doesn't make sense, he should have a good idea who was involved, even back in the 90's most teachers first went after the trouble makers. As a former teacher myself, you rarely went after the new kid, unless he's drawing an unusual amount of attention to himself.
I'm beginning to understand why the Protestant movement gained so much popularity. This is a great movie--I love the scene where they're in line for confession and they're doctoring their lists!
Here's a where are they now. Brother Constance is in Attica after being found guilty of whipping these boys where he is the boyfriend of prisoner 011k243xx and the boys are suing the Archdiocese for 50 million and they frequent daddy's leather bar because for some odd reason they really miss this shit.
Breeslave One of the priest from my parish went to homosexual bars dressed in leather. This was found out because he asked the female principal to join him.
Diamonds are Forever He wanted to stay completely professional. And it worked in the long run since he was a caring and laid-back man that got Constance’s job after his firing
In it's own way, this movie reminds me of Diner & School Ties in the sense that it launched the careers of alot of succesfull actors. Patrick Dempsey aka Dr. McDreamy, Kevin Dillon from Entourage, Andrew McCarthy a former Brat Packer and of course Yeardly Smith The Voice Actress from The Simpsons.
MrBronx61 I’ve heard they were pretty stern. There was a catholic reform school for boys where I live. Back in the 50s & 60s the school was physically and sexually abusing the boys and many were buried on the premises. It wasn’t until about 5 years ago, the truth came to light about what went on there for years. Some of the boys who were there back then, who are still alive today, discussed their memories of what they saw and experienced. They still had recollection of the physical and sexual abuse they endured. Sad that so many boys were killed and buried there & never received justice.
MMA - I saw teachers do shit they'd be arrested for today. I never got hit, because I knew better. There's a fine line between discipline and assault.....some of those nuns & lay teachers crossed it. My dad used to spank us with a belt, but that was tame compared to Catholic school. I feared the nuns more than my old man - that's straight-up truth.
MrBronx61 I’ve always heard stories about the nuns putting the fear of God in these catholic school kids. A couple of years ago, archaeologists found unmarked graves on the site of the boy’s school I told you about in my previous comment. The thought of these kids being killed and buried and not given a proper burial still bothers me to this day. I know these were boys with disciplinarian problems, but any church subjecting anyone to sexual and physical abuse is inexcusable
Yep.. If the priests weren't molesting you, the monks and nuns would beat the hell out of you and the parents said it made them become good christian men.. When my dad starts to talk about the nins from his grade school, he just turns dark.. They would take girls as young as 14 or 15 (in America against their will mind you) send them to monasteries, keep them poorly educated, just enough to to teach grade school topics ei arithmetic, reading skills and religion of course.,but HS boys were more educated than they were.. Young girl Nuns were known to be beaten even whipped, so now they look at all these young kids who have their whole lives ahead of them and with have lives nun and monks will never know,.. No wonder the're so piissed off all the time..
My dad attended catholic school and that's the very reason he sent me and my siblings to a public school. The nuns were meaner than Satan he would say. 😄
This movie doesn't get the credit it deserves... Forever a treasure !
I agree, I think Siskel and Ebert gave it 2 thumbs up, but not without some harsh criticism which goes to show they were out of touch with how those private schools were.
It deserves that
I didnt go to a catholic school, but my mother did. She said that this is exactly what went on. Great movie.
When ceaser spoke up "to whom" he was brave. I had not notice that before, he was trying to save his friend. He's picked on and shown as weak but when it counts he is the bravest even though he is the victim. Who was the teacher trying to get justice for? This is a great movie.
The teacher was trying to get justice for the fact that he shouldn't have been a "servant of God" in the first place.
Jay Patterson is the actor’s name who played the mean teacher

Great movie, if you went to catholic schools it is right on. Great cast look at all the stars in that movie, one for the ages.
This is one of the better 80s movies if you can ever watch it.
"But brother my screws are gone" lmao
I don't know anything about Catholic schools but I love this film. My absolute favourite teen movie.
I was in a catholic School, never i got beaten. Teacher was gentle with us
Brother Constance is EXACTLY like the dean of students at the Catholic high school I went to. A fanatic in every sense of the word. He didn't whip out PATIENCE but he was still a loony in a dress.
I'm old enough to remember 'patience' in school. You'd be feeling that for days.
Went to an all boys Catholic HS in Boston - Class of 84. It was very high on discipline and you were called out quickly if you got out of line. There was a smidge of corporal punishment still there during that time and the older kids and alums when I was a freshman confirmed it was a little more so in their day but overall, the clergy and lay teachers were all pretty cool guys who, though tough, knew how to connect with students with tough love respect for us - which made it easier to respect them back.

Class of 88 here. Paramus, NJ. Same deal. Wouldn't want to change a thing...👍
The best part is that it's really rather accurate in many respects.
Yeah, I did MY "time," in Catholic school as well. It was ... cumbersome (?) to say the least, but my "time," did not compare to the stories Pop told me about HIS "time," at Catholic school in the Philippines ... being locked in a small, dark, room with a COFFIN for hours on end, kinda made my complaints about being grabbed by my sideburns seem trivial.
BarzOnTheWindow1 Haha yeah I guess my complaints are fairly trivial then as well, but since they can't hurt us these days they've come up with Saturday detentions and ridiculous uniform checks.

Yes. When he was knocked to the ground by McCarthy and then punched in the assembly hall...I wanted to cheer with all the guys in that hall.

Great, catholic schools should be about teachers bringing people to God, not bringing them to God out of fear and punishment and pain, that’s not what God wanted.
That's how it was when my dad went to school, so he said, and the nuns hit their hands with rulers
They were not nuns.... They were slaves of the Devil
They put the fear of God in God Himself

K Dillion is classic in this. Everyone’s good. Back when everyone in the movie could act (used to be a regular thing) Solid movie

I was wondering how accurate this film is in terms of violence. Give us some examples.

Awesome teacher, don't know why the movie made him look bad. No messing around when it comes to discipline. If only every teacher was like that

He is like many nuns in school and teachers in elementary school. When Corporal Punishment policies were killed, it destroyed teachers like Brother Constance.
He looked so pissed off at the end.
This wasn't exclusive to Parochial Scools; I went to a Public & a Private School where this kind of stuff was pulled.
That's right it was everywhere. Parochial schools were the last ones to still practice those strict old ways.
