  • Higher Learning is a 1995 American drama film written and directed by John Singleton and starring an ensemble cast. The film follows the changing lives of three incoming freshmen at the fictional Columbus University: Malik Williams (Omar Epps), a track star who struggles with academics; Kristen Connor (Kristy Swanson), a shy and naive girl; and Remy (Michael Rapaport), a lonely and confused man seemingly out of place in his new environment.

    The Remy character was exactly how I imagine a person would become a school shooter. I think that might have been the best and most well done storyline of the movie.

    Lol 29:31 yeah Tyra's acting was weak. Im guessing this was her first movie. I always cracked up at that scene how she repeats the "WHATS WRONG WITH YOU?!" line twice. Like she wasn't feeling it the first time she yelled it, so she yells it again. Then John was probably like f'k it I'm keeping the shot, we been shooting this scene all day. 😆

Tilly is of Bride of Chucky/Bound fame. That's all 🙂

    I’ve always loved this movie when I was a freshman in high school. I hated Ice Cube character Fudge because he was a jerk throughout this whole movie with Remy. Tyra banks can’t act but I still love her though. Kristen with her story was lame. Too bad Malik and Remy never became friends but I still relate to both of them and the Professor too. It’s also too bad Remy and Kristen never fell in love with each other the whole movie.

    Great review! 25:02-25:40, yes, 'Soul Searching' is now one of my favorite songs. I remember hearing it, in the 90s. But, it first caught my attention in spring 2003(right before I finished high school) when I heard it on the radio. I tried to find it after that, but could not really find it, and did not remember the lyrics. I didn't know the name of the singer, either.
    Fast forward to early 2010, when I watched 'Higher Learning' for the first time! And I finally find this song! Last fall, it popped back into my head and I found myself listening to it on the daily.

Every movie does not need to be award winning, Shakespeare acting to be a good movie or for the viewers to get the point and the white girls part was very necessary to bring up date rape and how some women may change to women sexualy after being sexualy asulted.This movie was deep and powerful on so many levels.
