First time watching *STAND AND DELIVER* - 1988 - Hispanic heritage month - reaction/review

[@YoureMrLebowski]

0:05 your brother is a cultured man.

[@boomieboo]

I can't believe someone actually reacted to this gem. Thanks for doing it! I used to recommend it to reactors whenever they saw something with Lou Diamond Phillips or Edward James Olmos in it or for every Hispanic Heritage Month. I stopped doing so after a while though because I knew no one would ever react to it. It's obviously a gem but just not well known enough for most reactors. But I think part of movie reactions should be exposing the audience to hidden gems and reacting to movies you wouldn't have seen otherwise. If you search Jaime Escalante on YT you'll see how uncanny Edward's depiction of him is. He captured him perfectly. And I think they named academies and or schools after Escalante where his teaching methods were duplicated after his transformative success teaching calculus to marginalized kids from disadvantaged areas as shown in Stand and Deliver. Edward James Olmos in Blade Runner is a must-react to. Watch "The Final Cut" of Blade Runner if you do.

Next La Bamba 😎

[@gregleblanc9357]

Same thought here. Been waiting forever for this classic to get a reaction. Finally!!!

[@nicolesherman8974]

One of my favorite teacher movies of all time 🖤🖤🖤. “A negative plus a negative equals a positive”.

[@Drawkcabi]

Mine too! Also, l normally wouldn't do this, but in the spirit of the movie, it's "a negative *times* a negative equals a positive."

[@reneedennis2011]

I agree.

[@bobbyj5375]

Ladies, excellent pick. Forgot about this movie, not seen for a long time. Rare to have a teacher this dedicated to students. Early in movie teacher called student Johnny, maybe a habit. When one of my nieces was young , I would call her Ralph ( habit). One morning before having breakfast I said to her, " mornin' Fred'. She replied " I'm not Fred, I'm Ralph". I had a good laugh, (great memory) Enjoy your day ladies.

[@brianvalencia7717]

I'd probably say, this is one of the most underrated but inspiring films ever.

[@queegs73]

I’m glad someone chose to react to this movie. It’s been one of my favorite teacher movies. We watched this several times in school. I consider myself lucky to have had teachers who cared and were passionate about teaching. Those are the ones whose lessons stuck with me my entire life. Edward James Olmos has a fine movie career. But he was best known for his tv role on the iconic 80’s tv show Miami Vice. From there his movie career skyrocketed. If you wish to watch another inspirational teacher film I recommend Lean On Me (1989) starring the incredible Morgan Freeman.

[@llorona7847]

This is a crazy good but overlooked film. I haven’t seen anyone react to it, so this is a surprise. ❤

[@ThomasReeves-s7u]

I know. I really liked it as a kid.

[@numberphive]

One of my all time favorite movies

[@YoureMrLebowski]

21:38 happy tears. the best of tears.

[@YoureMrLebowski]

11:44 "Ummm, sick. He's eating the peel and all. I can't do that." -Jenna Does anybody do that??

[@Pixelologist]

Stand and Deliver was, of course, based on a real teacher and real events. I hadn't seen this movie in a very long time but I remember loving it when it came out. There's no shortage of fine Edward James Olmos performances and I see a lot of them mentioned in the comments below. I, myself, am partial to his turn as Admiral Adama in the rebooted Battlestar Galactica series that premiered in 2004.

[@profanepersonality]

I could never remember the name of this, but I know the movie well. It is iconic, and yet, everyone I know remembers the storyline, the actors, and the movie in general, but not the title. Back before everything was on the internet, of course.

[@otisroseboro5613]

Edward James Olmos Is The Best 💯, Great Reactions Ladies ❤❤

[@StMichael7]

I’m a Garfield alumni. I was a student there from 1991 to 1993 and just missed Escalante by just a year because he left in 1990. After he died they had the rosery at the same classroom were he taught his math classes. There was a lot of news media there and thousands of people including former students went to pay their respect. There was a line of people waiting to go inside that stretched around the block. I still live a block away from Garfield high school in East La

[@YoureMrLebowski]

9:08 "How dare you sir." -Jenna indeed.

[@newbeginning2045]

Never heard of this movie but you amazing ladies for the introduction I might have to add this on my movie reaction list ❤ cause wow I enjoy your reactions

[@HabitualCinema]

@@newbeginning2045 Definitely worth the watch 🖤

[@KimEllis-kt8ei]

Love the fingerman math bit and the postman's in my locker. Kind of like the several tragedies coming to the actors from Boys in the Hood, the actress that was the student/waitress at her dads restaurant in Stand and Deliver, Vanessa Marquez., wound up with some issues later in life. Her family called for a welfare check on her just a few years ago, which was all caught on police body cam. She ended up pulling a bb or prop gun on the police and was lit up by them.

[@HabitualCinema]

@@KimEllis-kt8ei I read about her death afterwards but had no idea it was that case. Think I actually remember hearing about this when it happened. Thats crazy

[@brandonflorida1092]

Edward James Olmos only has a minor role, but "Blade Runner" is pretty cool.

[@SoloArt8250]

26:50 ooh I’ll take that classic VW bug 33:14 as a matter of fact there’s a classic called Zoot Suit with James Edward Olmos, based on true lives of zuit suiters Yea just chillin on a late Friday

[@reneedennis2011]

That's a good movie, too

[@LordVolkov]

Lou Diamond Phillips has a ton of range. While he's amazing in dramas, I find him so hilarious in his crazier roles. The Big Hit, Bats, and Young Guns all have wild LDP performances.

[@Madbandit77]

He worked with EJ in a "Miami Vice" episode.

[@okgo620]

The First Power 1990

[@jsheav3n]

@@LordVolkov yes! he's hilarious in The Big Hit

[@LordVolkov]

@@jsheav3n Everyone is so funny in The Big Hit, but LDP is at 11 the entire time and I love it!

[@jsheav3n]

@@LordVolkov for sure, that movie got way too much hate, I think if it was rediscovered today it would do a lot better

[@bigdaddyog]

My Family/Mi Familia is another great EJO movie.

[@reneedennis2011]

Yup.

[@omaridanner1254]

Wassup yall really enjoying your videos and looking forward to more keep up the amazing work my friends 😊😊

fabulous inspiring movie!

i'm so happy u guys watched this. KEEP MAKING REACTIONS

[@yvettenieto4182]

When I saw the movie for the first time...well...i loved it...i watch it many times since...very glad you liked it..Escalante is why I started to learn math which I would not have if it weren't for him and the movie being made. Thank you.

[@RAvila53]

The actress that played the quiet student actually died from a shootout with the police. I believe she was suffering from mental health. It may have been suicide by cop

[@Mercury6_]

Great reaction

[@user-cs4fg1rm5k]

I think we saw this one and Lean On Me in field trips to the movies.

[@LosNativos743]

Edward James Olmos’s best movie IMO is Selena as Selena’s father 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@reneedennis2011]

Yup.

[@tanglecash127]

I know EJO is in a movie called “Wolfen” (1981) I believe.

[@snowflakepillow8697]

We rented this when I was a kid but was also shown it in two different math classes growing up.

[@PE4Doers]

Not to criticize (really), but some of us older folks can do well later in our lives. I did not start my KZbin Channel until I was 63, and today I have about 17.5K subscribers, and I don't plan on stopping until I reach 90 yrs old or 10M subscribers (whichever comes first).

By the way, I am half Hispanic and proud of it. My Father and Uncle fought in WW-II and survived.

We saw this movie in our junior high math class

[@michaelrosas2153]

I love this movie use to watch this over n over in high school, favorite scene talking about how match was in our blood…Ash, ZOOT ZUIT with Edward it’s a play/musical type movie

[@saiga12commander]

10k subs not to far away, are we going to live stream a party.???

[@gregleblanc9357]

Talent for the game was a great movie with Edward James Olmos but when he was younger.

[@keithsimpson6563]

Hello guys i to think this was Edward's best roles. I seen this at the movie theater. Another great teacher movie is " Lean on me " it starred Morgan Freeman. Its a true story as well. Give it a watch.

[@Waterford1992]

Jaime Escalante died in 2010 so its safe to say he will not die at anytime in this film.

[@Sriverkiller86]

Blade Runner!

[@christopherking4932]

Awesome reaction/ can you please watch a movie called ANY GIVEN SUNDAY.

[@reneedennis2011]

Good movie.

[@TonyTheLoneRiderSmith]

Great movie but Lean On Me is the better school movie!

[@AZTEC1503]

Watch Mi Familia

[@mrtwisler]

Check out Zoot Suit with Edward James Olmos!!!

[@Chris55555.]

Hello, if you don’t mind, can you do a movie reaction on a movie called, 1492: Conquest of Paradise. Adventure/Drama (1992). It stars Gérard Depardieu, Siqourney Weaver, Armand Assante. It portrays a version of the travels to the New World by the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus and the effect this had on indigenous peoples. Directed by Ridley Scott.
