Hi, do you know where one can download this movie, cause I can't find it anywhere 😭😭😭
@nthabisengthato3708 it's on Max
@@nthabisengthato3708 Try goojara
In the end this girls husband is cheating on her and will never stop and her mom tells her to get over it; She is then glad to have had a teacher like this that helped her understand she was more worthy than that type of abuse
I would love to have teachers like that!
Sad thing is teachers like that are the reason that today college students are protesting for terrorists, can not define what a woman is and why TicTok is filled with thousands of videos of 30-35 year old single women who have realized they are going to remain single for life.
So fantasy movie nice
Sometimes it takes an outside to actually see the truth of what has gone on in someone's life.
@@jonathangarzon2798😊
It's so odd to think back to a time where marriage significantly elevates your status to the point where schools are like yeah you married why study
Elevated. And erased.
It’s sad. Like their purpose was fulfilled and so they didn’t matter anymore. Just another housewife.
Obviously just for women and girls. Men would still need school.
Uh…. No. Marriage didn’t elevate a thing for women. It “proved” to men that education was wasted on women because a woman’s purpose was as a masturbatory aid, breeding stock & house slave.
The “looked away” because they believed women were incapable of learning, so why bother.
Old society thinking
Don't disrespect this class just because you feel entitled.
Respect for others is fundamental!
Some married people feel that they are far more experienced than unmarried people. What a shame.
@@purpleisdebestedid you watch the movie? She disrupted the class by walking in and loudly saying “well. Last time I checked, we had class in the classroom.” in the middle of the lecture.
And it’s fine to not attend class. Just don’t expect to pass.
@purpleisdebeste why pay to go to class then not go?
@@purpleisdebeste so you plan an entire vacation for multiple weeks after spending 3k in tuition to do what exactly?!?!?!?! Waste your own time and money, but don't disrespect anyone else.
"That's my job." Was a very cold line. Like saying "do your worst" or "I'm threatening you now".
This
Why though... it is literally her job to educate them.
@@Desmaurine She's standing up to someone who tends to have her way in a lot of things. The action of putting a pencil under her chin and whispering "That's my job" seems authoritative to me.
It means she's showing the girl who's boss and that's what makes it so cold. It was enough to give that girl pause.
no
she's putting seemingly entitled but honestly very lost girl in place for her own good
What I love is by the end of the movie, she realized that her professor wasn’t disapproving of her decision, she was giving her tough love by holding her accountable for missing her obligation to the class. By the movies end she realized that she was blowing an opportunity for a man that wasn’t even going to meet his obligations as a husband. and in a grander scheme of things, she was also learning that you can’t be true as a wife if you’re not even true to yourself first. A lot of people will see the clips and think the movie is about choosing marriage over academia, or vice versa. The truth of the matter is, it’s neither. It’s about discovering your own agency in a time where roles were assigned on the basis of sex rather than chosen on the basis of ambition.
I liked this movie. I loved this comment.
Yes!!! Great depiction of the Movie; one of my favorites ❤.
Out here with a paragraph worth reading!!!! 😂 I can’t believe half the cast I have been fans of for years and I’ve never seen this. 🤦🏾♀️
What an extremely apt and intelligent telling of the events of this movie. I wish more people had this level of insight, sadly almost half of our country seems to have fallen off the deep end of the backward type of thinking that has a bright young smart woman behaving like Kristen dunsts character.
I have never seen this movie, but if that's the true assessment, then that is a good assessment of life in general as a woman and the nuisance seemingly missing in this discussion in general. Where if you are going to choose to be a housewife, doesn't mean that you should lose all agency in your life, and having an education and continuing growing as a person shouldn't stop just because you are in a relationship (regardless of gender). If you find that you are losing yourself because you are in a relationship, it's a big sign something is off and you are likely losing your identity to your partner, some of us never had a good sense of identity to begin with. This doesn't mean you can change and evolve, but the feeling of losing yourself often happens through things like someone taking too much of you, being overly critical, and gaslighting. Verses someone who helps you blossom and grow into a better version of yourself will take interest in what you are doing, support you through difficult times (but not enable), and help you feel comfortable with self expression and help with common goals.
That's my job... I always loved that part. Now as a teacher, it's more satisfying lol.
Obviously people commenting have never been in a situation with a disrespectful student lol. It's odd people read one sentence and bring so many assumptions about who I am as a teacher, lol, you don't even know my name. So odd. I am however, a great teacher and I build really great relationships with my students because I take time to gain their trust and respect while remaining the authority. You obviously haven't taught in a title 1 if you think you can just let those comments go lol. Again, so strange people comment these thing like they personally know me, weird. And obviously, obviously, I wouldn't physically touch a student, however she like grazed her cheek, lol, quit calling it physical punishment and save that for thr actual physical punishments.
I'm so glad I never had a teacher like that. The way she puts the pen under her chin, the tone of her voice...euwwgh, it's all so condescending and authoritarian. Not at all how a good teacher should behave.
Condescending and entitled . . . not at all how a respectful, serious student should behave.
@@tomtenisse823 lol. How old are you? Students don't get to behave like that. It's called classroom management and without it, there is chaos and no respect. Notice if you watch the whole movie she's like, the favorite professor, instructor rather, due to lack of phd.
Yikes here’s the teacher that acts like the world owes her something because she picked a certain job. 😂
@@ChasingCrispyCrunchASMR I bet you're American, lol. We are likely around the same age
The nerve to say « I’m educating you »to your teacher ! My blood pressure went up just listening to this
That was me with every interaction of Betty Jones’. However, she didn’t turn out too bad in the end of the movie. Highly recommend you give it a watch if you haven’t already. It’s in max.
@@wonderland7859Kristen Dunst did an amazing job-she made me hate the character so much, but I still felt bad for her.
@@Jaelismyhomegirl Idk what it is about Dunst, I don’t like her, but I have to agree. She portrays all her characters well.
tbf there's plenty of teachers in need of being educated. i know i've done my fair share of it with my ignorant and bigot teachers and professors
Fact
talking to Julia Robert’s like that is craaazzzyy
She's a home wrecker
That part!!!
Like her mama CLEARLY didn’t teach her right!
I never understood this obsession for her, she's not even good looking 🙄
Uhhh but she's Kirsten freaking Dunst
@@mimi_types might be your personal opinion. But most people find her endearing. Its not necessary to be pretty to be seen as attractive in the eyes of others . I find her to be a very bright person especially the kind of roles she plays makes you root for her ❤
This is so wild to me as someone who got married my sophomore year, I still finished out and still studied abroad and still lived on campus… life and marriage is what you make of it, not what society does
Now I have graduated and starting my career and continue to grow up together 💕
You have a non typical husband or your gay.
This is the 50's it was very different way back then!! Believe me.
Props. Have a wonderful life!
That's amazing!
Did you have to do long distance for awhile? How did you handle it?
@@ancaioanastoica5884yeah, 3 years of traveling back and forth between Maryland and Pennsylvania; I’m grateful it wasn’t further. Thank you💕
Yes miss a class or two not six or seven.
i love that tbh, because seven classes is literally half of the semester like wtf were they thinking to not be there half of the time
Yeah I was waiting for the comment that pointed this out or for her to even say the same. Missing a class is not the same as a midterm. I’d be like ok sure you’re first is excused you still missed five classes a paper and a midterm
Their entitlement starts early. Had a student, ( I'm a retired HS teacher ) who did nothing. When zi warned him he'd fail, he told me he didn't come to school to learn...he came to socialize. This was a freshman. After he saw the "F" on his 1st report card, he started paying attention.
I find it shocking that he made it all the way to high school WITHOUT paying attention. What kind of education system allows that to happen?!
@@Essenceofblood5238 His family allowed it to happen

@@mascara_lashes no, the letter z is too close to the button for a capital letter, and I didn't notice I hit the wrong thing...

Thanks I was wondering what movie this was
I was going someone would tell us. Thank you. ☺️
It's literally the first post. Are you people dense?
@@joetate87
Not dense but I am partly blind, I bet you didn't even think about that or cared and possibly still don't. Regardless if you do or don't or if you feel sorry or don't have a good day.
"If you fail me there will be consequences" "yeah for YOU dummy"
Exactly what I thought. I said "yeah, you'll fail. 🙄"
That character made me cringe the whole movie.
👍👍
What she meant by consequences was because her mother was a member of the college faculty and could fire the teacher. It's a great movie...Mona Lisa Smile
Kirsten Dunst is a great actress to make viewers hate her this much.
Kirsten is such a gem. She's so magnetic in nearly every role she plays. Very talented
Don't let a man take you from your education.
No let the education take you from your man and children right? LOL if we were truly feminists and believed that a woman can have everything she wants then we would make it normal to adjust for both an education and a family.
So many famous actresses in this scene! Some are not yet in Julia’s “class” but within a few years would be.
Julia Roberts and Julia Stiles
Kirsten Dunts and Ginnifer Goodwin too 🔥🔥🔥
@@CharleyChiomaI never knew Ginnifer Goodwin was in this movie. I love her! Amazing how they managed to make her look plain here.
Maggie Gyllenhaal too!
So glad I went to college at a time when we young women were there for the education itself, not to just get an MRS degree.
I'm older...and many little chicks did college to CATCH a beau...preferably RICH.
I agree with the teacher, if you wanted to go to college show up, missing a bit for your wedding is fine but don't come Into the class and expect a pass for it, you missed lots of learning and chances, if you fail it's on you, it's not the job of the teacher to pass you just because you decided to get married. You could have waited for off time. The teacher can give extra credit but they don't HAVE to.
I already pay a fuck load of money for the class and I’m a grown ass adult. If you don’t show up once and yet ace all exams and homework there should be absolutely no qualms about that.
@@samanthaf.3270 True, but if you dont show up and fail the test that's not the teachers job. XD
@@bel410la what I said still stands 😂 you can do what the fuck you want with your money and if that means throwing it away, it is NONE of your professors business
My mother was the first female and pregnant residents at her hospital. She was the first female doctor with a family at two other hospitals she worked at. My sister married right out of high school, and had 2 kids while attending college. She only missed class to give birth and recover. She also got her master's degree while working, taking care of 3 kids, and dealing with crazy in-laws. Her husband supported her wherever he could. My other sister had a hard time with finding a job where her husband moved for work so she went back for a master's degree. She is now happy in her second career. Being married is no excuse.
Your mother didn't play when it came to raising her daughters or the bar. Yay mom
I don't think you can raise your kids too much if you're busy working a full time job usually someone else does.
@@ChrisJericho-yf4dbnuclear family concept is a new one. Even now in many traditional culture bringing up of children isn't sole responsibility of parents. So the notion that children is brought up by only parents is a very new one .
Also seems like OPs mother did her job right as her kids are married, have kids and work. If they had trauma they wouldn't be doing what their mother did.
You made a commitment to that class before you made a commitment to your husband before he even was your husband. You must honor your commitments or suffer the consequences.
Men die and will leave you cheat and abuse you...
When she’s chasing the car on her bike crying as ms. Watson leaves 😭
Me too! How touching was that scene
Such a great scene!! Made me cry!
It’s unfortunate that women back then were pretty comfortable dismissing their place in the world other than to serve others, particularly their husbands. It’s fortunate that we are doing more for us - knowing our value as individuals beyond only being housewives - and that’s IF we are married…
PREACH! 🙏🌈
So instead of serving her family she's just gonna be serving a boss, clients, customers etc.
@@ekatrinyashe’s not serving them, she’s working so she has options in her methods, and also has the freedom to quit and get another job the minute they don’t honor her work and pay her what she deserves for the amount of labor she’s engaging in. She doesn’t have to serve disrespectful customers, and she can withhold services from abusive clients. She will have HR but it’s debatable whether or not it will work in her favor during this time, and her male coworkers and overseers would be the worst part of the majority of her life… but that’s a social issue and not related to the nature of work. It never is, it’s always the people with fragile egos with power operating against the ease of the system anyways
@@ekatrinyaYour boss has to pay you regardless and doesn't cheat on you. Husbands cheat all the time and leave their families behind and guess who they leave behind them kids with that. Mom.
@@iamimperfectionperfected4women are actually the ones who leave marriages in about 70% of divorces and men and women actually cheat at close to the same rate. It's slightly higher with men but only by a few percentage points
Man times have changed!! I really appreciate now that your entire reputation isn’t based around being married and having a family as a woman. I also think about the mindset young women would’ve had (or that the societal norms had conditioned them into thinking a certain way) where it’s one OR the other. Nowadays you’d expect to be more established in your own accomplishments before thinking of marriage 🤔
"now that your entire reputation isn’t based around being married and having a family as a woman."
😂🤣It is if you wanna be POTUS. Same goes for men. For the record, I liked your comment and fundamentally agree. I just wanted to make that concession on that one little point... just to point out the inherent hypocrisy in the vast majority of American society. 😉
Didn't you hear Harrison Butker's speech?
Because only the wealthy went to college man or woman. Only 4% of men attended college by 1920. 4%. And women had to marry because all the jobs that existed that made enough money to survive where dangerous jobs that a man had to work to support himself at 18. So we encouraged women to marry up so that she would have a good life and be taken care especially because the life expectancy for men was low. So if a woman's father died at 40 and she had no male relatives that meant she had to try to survive as best as she could as a seamstress or risk her life working a dangerous job. That was also why shaming women for having relations was a lot less taboo. Because if she got pregnant she had to marry whomever got her pregnant. And if she didn't know then her life was even worse.
Were there struggles and downsides for women? Of course there were. But for the time it was the best society could offer.
@@JjJjJ200 Ahh ok. Thank you for sharing! I mean that displaces both male and female at a huge disadvantage, women weren’t well equipped to take care of themselves, let alone THINK for themselves and men HAD to make life altering sacrifices for money to survive. So we could argue that capitalism in its purest form was used as a means to exploit your average labourer. That war is partially the result of greed and power, forcing men to become veterans. which in turn affects society as whole, man, woman, child.
So let me rephrase, I’m grateful that now I can openly think for myself and have some autonomy in how to plan for my future, I’m not saying that women should not desire to be married, but at least theres a choice on when you should marry, however if I were to be single for the rest of my life, yes there may be repercussions (fear of being alone etc), but at least I can have confidence that my entire identity isn’t wrapped around being a wife… because let’s be real, not everyone should be married because not everyone is ready for the type of commitment/sacrifice marriage entails. Marriage is a gift. Not something that should be treated as a default pre-requisite for survival, not something to be desperate over. However, unfortunately this is still true for some countries.
Also guys I’m from New Zealand… so I don’t know too much about your politics 😂 I just wanted to add my 2 cents lol
Great film reflecting on the role of woman in the 50s. Brilliant.
I also recommend the series “The Bletchley Circle”. It’s about a group of women who worked as codebreakers during the war, but were expected to return to being housewives immediately afterward.
It's still the case in many countries
Not remotely accurate about elite women’s colleges in the 1950s. Women took their studies very seriously. Parents did not determine the curriculum. My mom was Wellesley class of ‘54 and she thought this movie was ridiculous.
@@ArsenicJulep that’s good to know. I’ve really never met anyone who graduated from Wellesley. I’m glad women who were serious about their education had schools where they could pursue it, and that the environment was better for learning that it is portrayed in this film.
OMFG how TF have I missed watching this movie? THE CAST in this scene alone is iconic!
That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking! Especially when it came out in 2003, like where was I 😅
@@celestial.guardian right! I'm not saying I havnt herd of it, but i for sure would of watched it if i had known all of who was in it.

Literally my favourite movie of all time.
There's a smartass in every classroom.
Love how sharp-witted Julia Robert's is in this role.

If there is a couple in college and they wish to get married, I imagine it’s best to do so during school brakes. Less stressful I’d think and one thing does not interfere with the other.
*breaks
Thank you Mrs. Foote. lol
I'm in a college for women only. If any student dared to be this disrespectful she would have to face a disciplinary committee and probably expelled.
Good to hear... except this takes place in the 1950s at 1 of the most prestigious and conservative/traditional women's colleges in the country; in a place and time where women "knowing their place" as a nurturing homemaker in the nuclear family was at an all-time high.
@@Essenceofblood5238 Well a lot of girls get married and have babies during college and they would have to miss some classes for whatever reason it is just natural the profs are also very lenient with us so we give them beforehand notice and the reason so they can help. I see the situation is very similar it's not about the time period she's just rude with no consequences.
Said someone with no direct experience with this era.
Not for the red-haired. She's family with one of the big ones of the college. I don't remember who, but basically that gave her a bitch pass for having the degree without showing up to class.
Why college is that? Sarah Lawrence?
Tho I know they went co-Ed a long time ago
“There will be consequences”
Yes, there most certainly will be consequences for you, you’re absolutely correct.
In the 60s women went to college for their MRS. Got engaged in soph/ junior year , then mareied right after graduation .
Im a life single, im happy are you ? Lol
I'm so glad your happy! Me Too! Retired pediatric RN. 4 children 2 grandchildren and counting. We need more Happy People!!
That still goes on now.
I am happily twice divorcee, 3 children, and a successful career. I'm the happiest I've ever been! Loving my single life. Spent almost 30 yrs being married... Marriage is overrated.
Sweeping generalization there. For what it’s worth: the women who attended Wellesley or Mount Holyoke or Smith or Barnard or Radcliffe or Vassar or Bryn Mawr … they went to get an Ivy League education.
People that are happy don't have to declare it on RUclips 💀
I married at 19 still finished my degree and have had a family I just had my 3rd baby at 31 and decided to take time off. You can do it ladies I know it’s hard I know you want to quit some days and it feels like the world is crushing you. But YOU CAN and YOU WILL persevere ♥️ All of you going through school or whom just choose to be home with a family we’re all the same it’s all hard demanding work neither is better than the other. I hope you all achieve the dreams you yearn for ❤
Love that! Agreed. And the first step to unhappiness is to compare yourself to others.
Getting married in the middle of a semester 😂
Love this movie,but I also love being a homemaker. Women are very important in society and in the home raising the next generation.
I love your comment. It’s not an either or. It’s about society as a whole needs both: hard balance. Not everyone can afford for one parent to stay home while only one earns the income. Each couple needs to decide for their own what is best for their family. But choose as a couple. Consciously. Don’t let the capriciousness of one dictate for both partners. It’s a test of the relationship if they both can honestly say that they made the decision together with the well being of the family unit at the helm. Both are equally responsible for the wellbeing of the family: protect, provide, nurture.
People say the girls were right.... they were but one would wonder why women want to make a different choice now? Isn't it because their trusts have been broken by their partner who they gave themselves to? Isn't it because no matter how much the woman gave herself she is not appreciated, criticised, oppressed and violated.... beating hurts, breaking trust hurts, not feeling like you have a home hurts. And that's why the change for important. Woman having power in her own life and taking control of it is important. Them being independent so much so that the partner understands that she's not some powerless being is important. Them living freely and happily and not be questioned at every step they take is important.
Who's saying the girls were right? About what, exactly? Are you referring to the students here?
@@Essenceofblood5238 in the sense that the girls had a right to make the choice of getting married (not the part where they let marriage get in the way of their education) ofc it's not an informed enough choice and thus the movie proceeds
Also there are people who I did hear saying that they think what the girls did was right... even neglecting their education wala part
You want to get married, get married. You want to go to school, go to school. You want to do both, do both.
Don't commit yourself to something and then neglect your duties and responsibilities because you don’t see the value in them anymore.
You get married and don't see the value in school, drop out. You get married and don't want to be anymore because you see no value in it, get divorced. Same goes for doing both.
This is on a general scale with all else being equal. I'm not referring to situations of abuse in marriage, situations of not being able to go to school and having to drop out to take care of kids, a family member, falling on hard times and not being able to afford tuition costs, etc.
This is the in general ideological notion of the movie.
agreed like you are married and you want to continue your education then do it don't act like I'm married so everyone is going listen to me type
I agree. Getting married isn't an excuse for missing class. If you're not responsible enough to come to class then you are responsible enough to get married.
You do realize honeymoons happen after weddings. That’s a reason not an excuse.
@@nunyabizay9253 it is a stupid excuse. They can wait.
@@notscared5941 all y’all just sound bitter and single. Since when was a class more important than family. Make time for both and sometimes it overlaps.
Young girl thinks she’s all that simply because she got married but doesn’t understand the real world
To my understanding in this time, getting married was the real world
I love this movie, and i love that Ms. Watson taught them to look beyond the paint and open their minds to a new idea, and taught them to think for themselves in their personal lives 😊
Never get engaged in college, especially if your partner is older. In fact, never get romantically involved. I got dumped during band camp and met a senior. My life became about him (I didn’t think it did). I got engaged to him the summer after my sophomore year of college. I was over the moon. I realized that I didn’t really care about college as much as I thought (barely studied or practiced but still managed to graduate with a 3.3 gpa with two majors). We moved in full time together once I graduated and he changed, I guess we both did. We argued and he became a jerk. My family noticed things that I didn’t or I knew but had rose colored glasses on. He dumped me harshly and now I regret ever meeting him. Be you, learn about yourself and don’t put your love for a man in place of your success. I realized that it wasn’t initially love. Even though it became love, it was filling traumatic voids and scars. It was all about control: me on my life and him on me.
Dont regret your very important lessons in life, that you get to share with others, as your experience, strength and hope. You were meant to have that experience- to learn from it. Dont make regret the only thing you got out of it. Change your perspective just a tiny bit and use seemingly bad where appropriate and blessing in disguise where appropriate and be grateful for the experience and the lesson. And let it go. (I know, much easier said than done)😊”.
I learned -Dont explain, dont complain. And I like to add dont blame. Its giving your power away and keeps you in victimhood. There are no victims, only volunteers. Forgive yourself for judging so harshly and just be grateful. Its really okay.
Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.” Mark Twain.
This was a fabulous movie. So sad that these silly girls thought being married was all important. The arrogance of this girl was revolting. Thank goodness times and attutudes have changed. Fabulous portrayals.
Getting married is important.
But it’s not ALL important.
@@davidforthoffer9180its not important. Set your standards low enough and you can be married in a month
@@MH-wg9hf
You’re reinforcing why it’s not ALL important to be married.
What are you TALKING about?!?!?!?!?
"CHANGED"??? 🤯😳😬🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
The only thing that's CHANGED is that now, people look down on you for getting married young.
But the self entitlement? That's never gone away. In fact it has only gotten worse. And I mean exponentially!
Whereas self entitlement once was so rare that it was a characterizing symptom of a few personality disorders, now it is just a common aspect of society.
And especially the current college aged generation. 😢
It is all important. A healthy marriage and family are the pinnacle of human experience on this earth.
Kirsten Dunst has stated in interviews that her character Betty was an only child to a couple that really wanted a boy. It makes the scenes with her mother deeper and more interesting because Betty wants so much to please her parents but never receives unconditional love and support. Having her get married was a socially acceptable way for her parents to finally let go of any responsibility towards their daughter. That’s why Betty is such a snob for most of this movie: she’s trying to please her parents by being “better” than others. She does go through a huge transformation after reality strikes by the end of the movie.
Felt entitled to special treatment cause she got married.
Because the school enables it and set it up that way before she ever got married. Been that way for years at that point.
“Glad I didn’t miss the ‘Paint by Numbers’ lecture.” I felt that in my soul😂
The audacity of that "Mrs. Jones"!
What an all stars cast.
Julia Roberts, Mj from Spider-man, Snow White from once upon a time, and was that Kat from 10 things I hate about you?
You forgot to add Maggie Gyllenhaal to that auspicious list.❤❤❤
@@List_worthy Oh yeah!
So this entitled brat threatens a teachers bc she was going to fail her bc she choose not at attend class.
It's college, not high-school. She's not some kid who needs to be told to be at x at a time. If she can learn on her own, who gaf she's an adult.
Kristen Dunst plays a villain so well
I recently watched this movie for the first time, it's such a comfort watch. A simple story with emotional stakes but not too intense. If you're into the unorthodox teacher trope, it's perfect. It's pretty similar to The Dead Poets Society.
It's sad when people feel entitled to be very disrespectful and threatening your livelihood when no-one doesn't want to be held accountable.
Everyone is on a journey, trying to learn who they are- what they can & can’t do, learning what sparks their unique energies & talents. We should all be free to choose & create our lives.
I’ve had so many teachers like this. Ones that when I asked “what do you want to be when you grow up?” I answered “ A mother and a wife.” You know the responses I got???
-> “Is that ALL you see for yourself?”
-> “Don’t you have any REAL dreams/goals?”
-> “Do you think that LOW of yourself?”
-> “So you want to be a house SLAVE?”
This is what our young girls ACTUALLY hear from teachers -> Don’t get it twisted. Never ONCE did I get “That’s wonderful & you should reach for YOUR GOALS.”
That whole “Women should do what THEY WANT” is a line that doesn’t hold up once you choose something outside their money making education scam.
We don’t encourage young women to have wife and mother as their life plan, because they will never have independence or options when their husband has affairs, or drinks too much, or is abusive, or gets a terminal illness, or decides he wants a younger model. It is not that being a mother isn’t important, but that being a mother who can take care of herself and her children without a man is more important. Because, honestly, most men aren’t dependable for a lifetime of support.
Oh Mona Lisa Smile.... you have my heart lol
dude this cast is STACKED
I love that she wasn't afraid to challenge the status quo. I also loved that she had her own beliefs challeged by Julia Stiles' character choosing marriage and family life anyway, as I felt that choice - as long as it is actually your own - was most important.
Julia Roberts showing anger is the BEST. I’ve seen this movie, and Julia is dynamite!!!
Some people are just arrogant and simple-minded, too neive until it's too late.. what is wrong with independence and integrity???
I loved this movie. Finally watched as an adult. So happy I waited to watch it with a more developed brain.
Both are wrong. Education is not God and marriage is not God. Both are good as long as they do not rule your life or purpose.
God doesn't exist
Just realized one of the dark haired girls is from Why Women Kill
My husband and i got married when he was in the middle of a semester. We literally waited until spring break to go on a honeymoon. Its always why summer is such a popular time to get married. People are wild. You can set up and house and still go to class or work. Lol wut?
LOVE JULIA ROBERTS!! SHE'S ALWAYS BEEN A GREAT ACTRESS
Don't worry she'll appreciate her when she is divorced with three kids to feed!😲🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thankfully, she wasn't dumb enough to wait around to procreate with the a-hole. He was cheating from the start. 😂😂🤣She "pretended" not to know until she couldn't anymore. Marriage lasted less than 6 months.
Her husband didn't love her and he constantly went away to meet up with the mistress. She went back to her mother but she kicked her out and forced her to go back to her husband.
By the end, she files for divorce and starts appreciating her teacher (played by Julia R) and her feminist message about getting educated and having your own money.
Beautiful movie. Helped me too. I was in an abusive relationship when I watched it.
The famous 1960s & 1960s MRS degree.😂 We evolved as women and no longer went for a MRS degree in the 1970s.
What’s an MRS degree. Sorry I’m not American so I don’t understand it.
@@manishag9570 It means that you go to University not really to study and acquire a degree, but rather to find a husband, therefore a Mrs. degree
Amen, sista!
Kirsten is so good at this kind of role, almost like she was born to play them
#1 rule: never rely on someone else to support you with their money.
Kirsten Dunst is such an underrated actress. She played her role so well in this movie.
As a teacher, the kids you have this kinda banter with become your favorite by the end of the year…
When someone is happy let them be happy, if someone has a problem try to help them.... don't put your complexism above everything. That is what that teacher did. Everyone has the freedom to do what they want, for them not doing what you want them to do is okay and true freedom. Everyone has a choice and no one's choice is beneath someone's elses choice.
can't say the girl deserve her teacher with an attitude like that.
she can vlame no ome when she fails.
She ate with that last line
As a woman who is both educated and married, I have very mixed feelings about this.
I think getting married is just as important as getting an education. It can be one of the most wonderful things when you marry someone who truly loves and respects you. I understand that not every marriage is like that, but you shouldn't assume that every marriage is hell either.
I also don't think a woman has chosen a "lower life" just because she chose to get married.
On the other hand, I don't think that the simple action of being married makes you somehow superior to someone who is not married. Nor does having a good marriage make you superior to someone whose marriage is struggling.
I also do not think that choosing an education means that you're "choosing yourself." I know a lot of women who are educated and are miserable.
Married not married. Education no education. These things alone do not give you more or less worth and do not necessarily make you more or less successful.
I don't think one option or the other should rule over the life of anyone, female or male.
I have never watched this movie. There is probably a lot more to this scene that I do not understand. They are both acting like b*****. From this scene, it does look like the teacher started it, though. If someone has a major event, like a marriage, happen in their life, you can not be so high and mighty because of your personal beliefs or feelings on the situation that you cannot allow them some time to celebrate and in a way settle into this new change in their lives. If the student gave you no notice of what was going to happen, that's one thing. But if they informed you, be happy for them. In this case, there should be an allowance to a certain degree. A marriage changes your life. In this case, a large event happened in the young woman's life. She figured it out and is now back to continue her education after everything was taken care of. Be happy for her and that she has found a way to accomplish two things that mean a lot to her. Encourage her to continue learning and taking that seriously, absolutely. But do not be angry because something like marriage also has been brought into her life
Don't sign up for class you don't plan to attend. Marriage is a plannable moment you can plan it to not be at the same time as the second biggest exam in the class.
@@WiseWordsbyWiki You have a point. But I do disagree because life can't stop just because of class
She’s at university. The school year doesn’t stop for wedding bells. When you pay for university, you commit to the schedule of your courses. If she couldn’t do both, she should have dropped the class. She could have gotten married & gotten back to class; or waited until one of the breaks to get married. The student missed many classes & major assignments. Why should she deserve special treatment?
It’s not like this was an emergency or an unforeseen event. She’s also completely disrespectful.
Are the other students donkeys.. Why should an able bodied woman or man get special treatment.. The certificates in college education is provided for the classes attended and passing the tests... If she doesn't do one part.. She should be passed or failed acc to attendance...most colleges in the world have "attendance requirement"
@@victoriajordan2505if you choose to be in a class, and then want to get married, it is YOUR responsibility to make both work, not your educators. You shouldn’t be held to different standards bc you CHOSE to get married at an inconvenient time for you, that’s not fair to the other students who actually wrote the paper and did the midterm and were there for class. I agree there should be exceptions for ppl struggling w smth (like loss of a loved one, an injury, etc) but when it’s your CHOICE, that’s YOUR PROBLEM
This scene always bothered me. The fact that Julia Roberts calls her out in front of others and touches her with that pencil? Not good.
Snow White. 🎉
Too bad the actress is a horrible person :(
@@primrosepromhow?? what did she do??
@@primroseprom😂😂😂 no she’s not lol
@@rationallyruby you’re right. she’s also just downright terrible
@@primroseprom what?
This was a great movie. It was showing how back then the women only went to college to meet their future husbands. It didn’t matter if they learned anything or not.
Ha ha ha wow what a woman….why they are behind any degree or education if their achievements is all about being married. They shouldn’t come and insult their teacher. If she was him then her way of talking wouldn’t be same😢
Kirsten’s character has the biggest growth in the story. It was good movie.
What movie is this
Mona Lisa smile

The nerve... how can people be so audacious... so it is not just the new gen that behaved this way... this had been happening back then too....😮
See, even in movies. Women can't get along with women. But you want to get rid of all the men, but you can't even get along with each other
Stop listening to podcast and go touch grass
I just had this conversation with a woman in the gas station the other day.
Both me and the cashier agreed that it's the handful of troublesome women who keep women down these days.
It's not all women.
And it's not really men.
Girls are mean. They're mean to eachother. They're mean to themselves. They're mean to their parents (especially their Mothers). They're mean to their family. They're just... mean.
And only a handful of bad apples can influence the rest of the bucket.
A world of only women would not be a world I wanted. I like my Man. I like men, plural.
Mr Just Football, sir...
You only need to add the word "some" to your statement for it to be true.
"Some" women.
Not all.
If this is what you think, you need a larger circle of women. Or a smaller circle of men.
I’d rather work with all men than all women. Less drama and bitchness.
That's like saying you're missing school to go to a party 😂😂
Oh I cried at the end, such a good movie ❤
KRISTEN is sooooo damn good!!! I NEED to watch more of her stuff!!
The ✏️ to your chin was the biggest power move
Aww look at Ginnie in this before becoming Snow White in”Ever After”❤❤
Nice clap back teacher 🙌🏼👍🏼
"I'm educating you"
"That's my job"
Me: "now KISS"
"We supposed to be educating tomorrow's leaders, not their wives!"
I loooove Roberts because She did not lack respect.She was honest.
The right man will wait until your graduation
Disgusting to think you have the right to a good grade even though you didn’t put in the time or the work. You don’t want to be in school, quit then instead of wasting everyone’s time.
Kirsten Dunst’s snaggle tooth has always been the paid actor
🤣🤣🤣🤣Stop 🤣🤣🤣🤣
No one used disrespect as a verb then.
I didn't hear it used this way until the 90s.
Honestly I don't blame her, she's taking the class as a joke when this is the teacher's job. Like 6 classes a paper AND a midterm? And she's thinking she would get credit for a class?
My grandmother said that when she went to college, she was expected to study for her MRS. Thankfully, her mother had gone to college, grandmother to do so, and my grandmother went back to college in her 40’s. My mom started college at 33, and I started at 16. My great gramma died when I was 24. I am so proud of the woman I came from; pioneers, in one way or another, every one of them.
Teacher has a point. Not because you got married mean you can skip school and expect a pass still
People are still like this though - thinking they are better than you because they are married. The fact is - it is better to be without a ring in your finger, than live with someone who treats you like a slave, tells you what to do, have little respect for you. A girl can buy her own sparkly ring !!!! Whilst living a life of freedom 😊
