Movie Reviews of Stand and Deliver
Movie Review: Review of Stand and Deliver
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very good movie, even though it's 20 years old. The acting is good and it seems realistic. It is based on the true story of Jaime Escalante, who went on to teach math on PBS. I am a high school teacher, and I plan to show the movie to some of my classes this year. They need all the motivation they can get!
Summary of Stand and Deliver
Edward James Olmos's Oscar-nominated performance energizes this true-life story of a Los Angeles high school teacher who drives his students on to excellence at calculus.Based on a true story, this inspiring American Playhouse production stars Edward James Olmos as a high school teacher who motivated a class full of East L.A. barrio kids to care enough about mathematics to pass an Advanced Placement Calculus Test. Not exactly a variation of To Sir, With Love, the film concerns itself with assumptions and biases held by mainstream authorities about disadvantaged kids, and Olmos's efforts to keep his students coolheaded enough to prove them wrong. Olmos, virtually unrecognizable as the pudgy, balding instructor, gives a career performance in this fine piece directed by Ram?n Men?ndez, and written by the director and Tom Musca. --Tom Keogh
