Matt Damon plays tortured genius Will
Hunting who stunted in his personal and
professional life by inner demons
there was a classic case of attachment
disorder which for all you non

time building long-lasting relationships
because of past traumas like the
childhood abuse he suffered I don’t want

Skylar

Maguire played by Robin Williams refuses
to give up on him
despite his difficult personality and
that’s a great lesson for any high
school student to come away with look at
me
it’s not your fault no it’s not your
fault
number nine Forrest Gump the lovable
Forrest Gump stumbles and runs through
numerous major moments in American
history he needs three presidents
teaches Elvis to dance and even
participates in the Vietnam War the good
thing about Vietnam as there was always
someplace to go
I know it’s one of those movies where
you don’t realize you’re learning
something but you walk away more
familiar with 38 years worth of American
history with the cinematic twist of
course and it’s not just history that
you learn either but important life
lessons as well Forrest Gump may not be
the brightest bulb in the box but he
works hard and he’s a good person
which gets him far in life Oh the film
also teaches you not to be a Jenny and
to stay away from drugs another valuable
message for teen
[Music]
number eight Hotel Rwanda look
this movie is about the 1994 genocide in
Rwanda when between 500,000 and 1
million people were murdered by members
of the Hutu majority government and Hutu
backed militias the movie focuses on
Paul Rusesabagina who saved over 1,200
refugees by giving them shelter in a
hotel he managed there’s a lot to be
learned from this catastrophe and its
depiction in the film for one it proves
how dangerous apathy can be as many
major countries around the world failed
to act
despite round-the-clock media coverage
and full knowledge of the events taking
place a valuable history lesson on film
the movie goes into gruesome detail and
is hard to watch but the lessons from
this Massacre must never be forgotten
you do not honestly believe that you can
kill them all and why not why not we are
halfway there already
number seven American History X we’re
taking down the sock machine – fuck you
fuck you one of the most profanity-laced
movies you’ll ever watch in a high
school classroom this controversial
drama delves into the lives of American
neo-nazis this is a political movement
comprised of people who see Hitler as a
role model believe that white is the
superior race and are notorious for
their racially based violence
the movie itself follows two brothers
and shows how their elitist view of the
world causes them nothing but tragedy
put your hands behind red American
History X also does a good job of
showing the negative sides of this
political movement and its cult
mentality making for a compelling
addition to any history curriculum see
this I mean not welcome number six
stand by me lowers your butt so on
everybody’s loose this entry is a
heartwarming story about friendship with
a Stephen King twist the story follows
Gordie crisp Teddy and Vern on their
quest to find the body of a missing boy
so they can be proclaimed town heroes
and get their pictures in the paper
yeah yeah we can be on TV sure we’ll be
heroes yeah while their goal is morbid
and maybe a bit misguided these boys
show that sometimes the only people you
can depend on are your friends friends
will listen to you when you need to rent
they’ll keep you from getting stabbed
and they might even prevent you from
being hit by a train it’s a feel-good
lesson on friendship coming-of-age and
more it’ll get you excited for your next
summer adventure with friends at least
now we know when the next train was due
number five Of Mice and Men I got mine
almost lost in ever hand and I got em
both here get your tissues ready because
this is definitely not a feel-good movie
based on the John Steinbeck novella
both adaptations of this movie go into
the dirty details of the Great
Depression through the tale of George
and Lennie we’re going to have a big
vegetable patch we’re going to have a
rabbit and down in the flavell athletes
about alpha for the rabbit even though
the story was originally published in
1937 many of its themes remain relevant
which is why the novella is still being
studied one such subject is bullying
mistreating others is never a good idea
and it’s an even worse idea if the
person you’re bullying is twice your
size and freakishly strong
the drama also gives a rather bleak life
lesson if you work hard and even if you
have a dream life doesn’t always work
out the way you wanted to you ain’t
gonna leave me tour Daniel I know you
ain’t number four Dead Poets Society
just when you think you know something
you have to look at it in another way
even though making silly or wrong you
must time this movie will get those
creative juices flowing and give you a
newfound love of poetry Robin Williams
plays John Keating an English teacher at
an uptight Academy who uses poetry is a
tool to get a students out of their
shells oh man man what kind of man man
we’re talking about just answer to go
crazy man oh you can do better that
three survived use imagination the movie
talks about some of the most well-known
real-life poets like Lord Byron and
Shakespeare giving them new life and
shows the kids at home a few tips on how
to score some points with the ladies
shall I compare thee to a summers day
this movie is perfect not only for
aspiring poets and English majors but
also for those stubborn students who
think poetry is lame captain my captain
it’s gone mr. Edison
oh yeah said da number three Schindler’s
List but an absolute good the list is
life like Hotel Rwanda this movie shows
that even in the worst moment good
people can rise up and become heroes
this Steven Spielberg masterpiece about
the Holocaust is centred on Oscar
Schindler a German industrialist who
managed to save over a thousand Jews by
outsmarting the Nazis at midnight you’ll
be free and I’d be hunted I shall remain
with you until five minutes after
midnight after which time and I hope
you’ll forgive me I have to flee the
film is based on survivor testimony and
Spielberg actually visited the locations
where all the events occurred to bring
some realism to his retelling of history
it’s more than your average Hollywood
portrayal and should be seen by everyone
not just students studying World War two
people saved one life love time number
two Romeo and Juliet Romeo Romeo
wherefore art thou Romeo a high school
students worst nightmare Shakespeare but
don’t worry director Baz Luhrmann has
your back
he took the classic story of Romeo and
Juliet two star-crossed lovers kept
apart by a family feud and gave it a
modern setting thousand
thousands I’m the worst – once I light
this means that the context of the play
is easier to understand and the story is
more relatable however it keeps the
original Shakespearean text so you may
still need a dictionary to follow along
like what a little while all right
and precisely Jesus company sounds like
shit boy stop swimming head butt guns
cars and Leonardo DiCaprio make studying
Shakespeare that much more enjoyable and
will definitely keep you awake in class
