- Опубликовано: 24 мар 2018
- For my scene study acting class's concluding showcase, my scene partner Matthew Williams and I decided to work on the iconic confrontation scene between Joe Clark (portrayed by Morgan Freeman) and Dr. Frank Napier (portrayed by Robert Guillaume) from the movie Lean on Me (written by Michael Schiffer & directed by John G. Avildsen). I'd love to hear your feedback in the comments! Thanks in advance for watching.

You did a great job, gentlemen! That was awesome!
Morgan Freeman and Robert Guiome (RIP) would be proud! Very good gentlemen!
That's wonderful! Good job, gentlemen! 100%.
Some negative comments... it’s hard to reenact a scene that was performed by two of the greatest actors of all time... but y’all did pretty good.
yeah...i wish we could get some established actors to re-enact...don cheadle, denzel, etc. i heard ben affleck and matt damon would practice this (not sure how valid that is)
Man these guys did a a GREAT job on the way how they recreated this scene. KUDOS boys! Kudos!
negative?? they did great!
I agree I love the film so much....but this regardless of not being as good is great. I enjoy it regardless
Body language and eyes etc perfect cover hand gestures etc. I am impressed I wish I could do that good
This was a good one for the facilities. Good job, gentlemen!
Visually, Stillness promotes power and strength.
When you move around too much and you dissipate your energy, it shows a lack of confidence and doesn’t read well.
Restraint and knowing when to move would really take this scene to the next level.
YOU MAY NOT HAVE QUOTED THIS SCENE VERBATIM BUT BROTHER YOU DID IT YOU IVE SCENE THIS FILM 1,000 TIMES AND YOU BOTH DID IT JUSTICE IM PROUD TO HAVE SEEN YOU BOTH IN ACTION EXCELLENT JOB
It’s hard to reenact such good actors and you both did a great job!
well done gentlemen....well done......end of discussion
James Ward thank James! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and give us that feedback!
Certainly didn't realize this was a play, but very good job by these men. Obviously not as good as the movie. But, I think this would have morgan freeman's seal of approval. To be fair comparing a play version to a movie, no matter what the movie is a bit unfair. Some people who watch and say it's terrible in comparison to the film, well duh, anyone would look terrible when compared to morgan freeman.
The ball head brother is an actor...the other brother needs a little polish
Excellent acting! They nailed that scene!
"Missionary zeal about Mozart...", says the man that just reprimanded a teacher for picking up a piece of paper during the school song. 😂
This is probably one of the best reenactments of the powerful scean in cinema that I have ever seen, kudos to the two gentlemen who put this together, very powerful and also very inspiring!
Great reenactment of a legendary scene. I can tell this was a lot of fun. Lol.
Also, I love the fact that you guys did it in your on way while still maintaining the integrity of the original scene. You made it look easy when anyone who's tried acting knows it totally isn't. I'm impressed.
Superb acting! I love this scene from the movie. Classic!
‘Well Done Gentleman.. Well Done... Congratulations, From The Movie Lean On Me.”
Excellent fellas!👍👍 very well played! One of the greatest scenes ever filmed in my opinion!! Those 2 Hollywood giants have very big shoes to fill, but y’all did great!
It’s not 15...it’s 30 years!!! They known each other for 30 years.🙄
Yeah you right… but understand. They made a mistake
I can't believe I'm just seeing this. That was awesome.
I think yall did good thats one of the greatest scenes ever so yall had a heavy load. well done sirs
Pretty good these guys nailed it
This my fave scene in the movie. That's how I got here. But great work fellas👍💪. But it did look like Joe wanted to knock your head off. He came at you hood.😆
This was legendary BRAVO!!!!! 🔥 🔥
End of discussion, the debate is over!
Awesome work. The emotion and tension was definitely there throughout.
I did a similar re-enactment video with my wheel chair bound mother. She played the part of Dr. Frank Napier. The best part was when she said she was the H.N.I.C and then slowly spun around in her motorized wheelchair and rode towards the door. It was all good until an extension cord laying on the floor got tangled in wheels of the chair.
😂 I love how the audience dies of laughter on the LAST line of this whole skit!
Talkin' about; "You really think you bad, don't you?" XD
BRAVO! That was well done!
Wonderful. I never realized that the movie can work as a play as well. You should be truly proud of yourselves.
Such great acting 👏👏👏
👏👏👏👏👏 That was pretty good!
Superb acting! Loved it!
They're both really good.👏👏👏
Outstanding! These two actors did the scene stunningly well! Joe Clark was out of line, and so Frank was needed to put him back in line!
Lies and fairy tales
@@sterlingharris1812, we know it's a performance.
What I appreciate about this scene is that there's a deeper subtext going on between these two characters: Despite Joe Clark's zealous attitude and Frank Napler always having to keep him in line, reality is these two need each other more than they think working as a team with Frank's diplomatic approach and Joe's assertive approach having to compliment even when it causes clashes like this.
I love you all picked this! You all really get into it starting at 1:30 and kept the momentum. 🙌🏾
Nice, very nice, it's like you're a big bird with radar and I'm tired of getting hit, true classic!
Great Job guys, don't sweat the negativity. Keep up the good work.
The issue with watching this is comparing it to Robert Guillaume and Morgan Freeman's performance in a film vs a play but Robert and Morgan's performance particularly. You have to look at this performance and judge it based on the acting of the gentleman in this performance and not that of Robert and Morgan. There was no particular way to play this scene, but Robert and Morgan owned it and these gentlemen have to recreate this scene in their interpretation, which seems like they did. It doesn't matter how this sounds what matters is were they believable? That's the question.
Amazing performance thank you. That was my favorite scene in that movie.
VERY WELL DONE ARIS ... great choice in selecting one of the all time best scenes in black cinema ... GUILLAUME and FREEMAN reached a gripping apex in this scene ... be sure to pass along a kudo to Matthew as well ... and thanks for giving me cause to watch LEAN ON ME again for the hundreth time ...
This was phenomenal Aris! Super proud man!
Well put,fellas!
Im not mad at y'all for your gig though!
👏🏽☑️💯🙂🌹🙌🏽
Trying to reenact a scene with Morgan Freeman and Robert Guillaume is daunting enough. So great effort. My criticism would be that you guys didn't evoke the feeling of the heated discussion. In the movie it was an argument, the tension raised as both Napier and Clark made great points. You two kept more or less the same tone throughout. Good effort.
EDIT: You guys really nailed it at the end though.
Great passion. Love this. Good work gentleman.
GREAT JOB, FELLAS!💪🏾👏🏾🙌🏾😁 🎭
The ball head brutha has his part down the other guy needs more work
Man y’all did a great job!
Y’all did it in your own way without trying to emulate them. Great job! 💯
I very much enjoyed this. It just seemed like the dynamic was more of a stronger alpha personality in the Joe Clark character, and Dr. Napier’s character was more Like a studious beta facilitator personality Which is more like me. Thoroughly enjoyable. I actually saw Joe Clark in 2000 on the Sally Jessy Raphael show I was live in the audience. I remember when he was principal and controversial in the 80s
I loved it. You guys did a great job!
Pretty good, but nothing like the original.
Excellent job gentlemen!!!!
You guys chose a really good scene! Good job btw.
I appreciate the tribute to those giants, watching Morgan and Robert actually brings me to tears the scene was so powerful
Great job. Love it.
Really cool! Well done! Love Lean on Me!
Nice to see some good stage acting.
Now that was beautiful!!! bravo bravo!!!!
Great job fellas. I have to give it to the guy doing Morgan Freeman's line. His delivery was damn near spot on.
You know, Mr. Joe Clark did not fire Mr. Darnell. He suspended him, but he fired Mrs. Elliott.
Dark Demonik No, he’s right.
One of my favorite scenes of all time. This is how exactly how it would be in 2023 as Dr Napier is feminine HAHAHA. I enjoyed this .
Seriously and you're not wrong about that 💯☑️
I stumbled across this video and I'm glad that I did. This was really good.
Great work guys! From actor to another God bless!!
Great job 👏🏼
This was good!!! These 2 guys really put a lot into it
Bravo!!
Perfect
Good I like it u can't expect it to be as good as those 2 great actor .
This is great! Such a great interpretation!
Brother playing JC was good guy playing Frank not enough emotion. Good scene l, it’s hard to follow the footsteps of those 2 giants.
This was 99.9% on point. As much as I watched that movie I had every word memorized that the only glitch was the 15 years line. I think it was 30. I’ll check but nevertheless I’m SUPER impressed!!!
Mrs Elliott Had Ego Problem.
So did Joe Clark
wow
"C'mon, let's get something to eat." This always happens when men finish arguing in real life too.
*That will not happen if 2 women had the same heated argument.*
They won't talk to each other for the next 10 years, probably more !
Good job my brothers!!
LOVE IT!!
I liked it. Good job 👏, fellas
Ad libbing, right here- study the original script from Lean On Me, then reenact this scene, again!!!
I wonder if they in the film said some lines differently. That does happen.
Not bad! I got a few chills at some parts. This scene is so hard to recapture but I think you both nailed it!
I love arguing.
U guys did a fantastic job with this scene. I hope some casting directors put you in some high profile projects.
This is like trying to duplicate Denzel's scene in Training Day. It's impossible.
Love this!!
Great job guys! U made that scene your own👊🏾👏
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏿
Very well done. 💯💯 💯
Great work Brothers
Good job gentlemen. Spot on performance.
Love this
Bravo bravo!!!!
I think in the modern day of acting these two men did a EXCELLENT job.. They are not here to mimic Morgan Freeman and Robert Guillaume they are acting the parts of Principal Joe Clark and his friend Dr Frank Napier and they performed it very well..
Very good reenactment
Ha, this is awesome!
Great Job!
Very good guys. Very good!
Amazing
BRAVO, gentlemen!!
Well done guys
mike shoe Thanks Mike! I appreciate you taking the time to watch.
Awesome!!
Great job, man!
NICE! Good reinactment of the movie.
