Movie Reviews of The Paper Chase
Movie Review: Law School Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a must see for all law school students or for students who want to go to law school. It's dated but still rings very true. A T.V. series was made from the movie. Its shows the craziness of the first year of law school at Harvard but all law students can relate. There is a misprint on the DVD case calling Professor Kingsfield Professor Knightsfield. That may be good for collectors. Kingsfield is the tough old professor who teaches contracts. He terrorizes the students as they learn the law and a new way of thinking. A very good movie.Movie Review: Everyone can relate...
Summary: 5 Stars
No matter where you went to law school, you will find someone in this movie to relate to, and will probably know someone that fits each of the characters on screen. There's the gunner, the snob, the can't-hang, the hard-ass prof., etc. I watched this movie every semester before finals, just to get in the zone. If you haven't been to law school but are thinking about it, and even if you don't go to Harvard, this movie gives you a good glimpse of the types of experiences and people you will likely run into.Movie Review: The Paper Chase - A Classic!
Summary: 5 Stars
Although this file is over thirty years old it still rates as required viewing for today's law students. John Houseman steals the show as Kingsfield (not "Knightsfield" as erroneously appears on the back of my copy) although he is often better known for his directing and commercials.
The file is better than the television series that it spawned even though Houseman appears in both.
Highly recommended.
Movie Review: Call Home Mr. Hart and tell your 5 Stars
Everytime I see this film, I get so glad that I dropped out of Law School. Kingfield is alive, well and lurking out there. If you are thinking about going to Law School, see this film if you have time between reading canned briefs. The "Little Questions that tumble in your brain are really there. The Stress over grades is real, the classmates who crash & burn are real. I can not recommend this film too highly to potential 1Ls.Movie Review: its really about chasing little pieces of paper not the professors
Summary: 5 Stars
You overachievers- chasing papers that will instantiate you. Its an endless cycle but they dont mean anything. Thats what this film is about. Not professors, not kingsfield, not the love interest and not even harvard. Marriage papers, diplomas, grades are all meaningless papers that when you know you can have them, and know how to achieve them, suddenly dont mean anything. One of the best films ever
