    During a time of heavy racism, war, and political chaos, this movie came at the right time---with the message of love and peace. One of my all time favorites. RIP Sir.

      This is one of my all time favourites. I had such a crush on Mr.Pointier. I loved all his movies. I didn’t know about racism it was not in my vocabulary . Still isn’t. I don’t care if people are pink. White Black or Brown. Or whatever colour my family didn’t grow up this way. People are people for who they are . I wish we were all like this . What a better world it would be . RIP Sir .

    I moved from MPLS to Dallas when was 12. We were poor but not ignorant, strong parents, never saw racism before that and it shocked and sickened me.
    When this film came out I was 14 and it changed my life or rather it reinforced what my parents taught but did not see much of in the streets..Class. self respect and own it.
    I love to this day Sir. I cry everytime I hear LuLu sing to him and the film was one of the first I bought on VCR. This never gets old. It is a lesson teachers are not allowed to teach now days without parents getting in the way defending low level behaviour. Thank you Sir.

It just goes to show how you can do what's best when you're a teacher. Sidney, all the other people in the movie 🎥 were ,are simply fantastic ! I love the music, movie, I would watch it over again.
