DANGEROUS

MINDS

“Dangerous Minds” is an execellent drama movie. I think it was filmed in 1995, in the U.S.A., but it wasn't shown on the cinemas untill 1996. Actually it's on almost all tv channels around America and Europe, and maybe on other continents too. The main characters are Michelle Ffeiffer as LouAnne Johnson, George Dzunza as Hal Griffith, Courtney B. Vance as George Grandey, Wade Domínguez as Emilio Ramirez, Robin Barlett as Carla Nichols... and some more. It was directed by John N. Smithry Buckheimer. I don't know what do people think about this film in other countries, but i suppose that it's as well-known as here. When my friends and I saw it we all thought it was really interesting, a good film. I'm sure that most people thought that, as well.

The story takes place in a deprived area in Northern California in the actuality. The most important character is LouAnne Johnson, who leaves a nine-year military career to try as an English teacher in a high school. There, she has to teach a “special” group of students who change her live. And she changes theirs. The most important students are Emilio Ramírez and Carla Nichols. LouAnne becomes Hal's friend. Hal is another teacher. LouAnne teaches and helps her students not only as a teacher; she was also a friend for them. Carla becomes pregnant and she decides to leave school. LouAnne tries to convince her about not to do that because she is a great student, although she doesn't think so and wants to waste her intelligence. But finally the teacher can't do anything. After that Emilio is killen by a man who wants to separe Emilio and his girlfriend. It saddens LouAnne very much and she decides to communicate her students that she is going to leave school. The day after Carla returns to school to tell her not to go. Her mates told her. They don't think it's a good idea and they finally convince her to stay, beacause they need her. They say that she's like their pusher, because she has the goods, the help that they need. And LouAnne doesn't leave. She's proud of them and she finally decides to stay. The objective of this film is to make us learn that you always have to go on, happens what happens.

I really enjoyed it and i've seen it many times. It's one of my favourite films and i think much people ought to see it, because they'd like it very much.
