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

[@brianvalencia7717]

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

[@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 😎

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.

[@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

[@warner13faulk28]

fabulous inspiring movie!

[@otisroseboro5613]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@YoureMrLebowski]

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

[@brandonflorida1092]

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

[@jsheav3n]

For anyone that would like something similar, Spare Parts is like a newer Stand and Deliver

[@user-cs4fg1rm5k]

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

[@Mercury6_]

Great reaction

[@YoureMrLebowski]

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

[@RemoGutierrez1]

We saw this movie in our junior high math class

[@jjkcharlie]

I watched this with my dad in Anchorage. It's a good movie

[@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

Yup.

[@omaridanner1254]

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

[@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

[@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).

[@PE4Doers]

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

[@franciscovalencia7568]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@reneedennis2011]

This is a good movie 🍿!

[@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

[@tanglecash127]

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

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

[@reneedennis2011]

Yup.

[@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

[@Sriverkiller86]

Blade Runner!

[@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

[@christopherking4932]

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

[@reneedennis2011]

Good movie.
