I love how David was the man. Quarterback, great with the ladies, good dancer, good grades, confident, mature. That's what makes the bullying all that much worse. He was better than all of them put together.
Him standing there in the rain yelling "Cowards!" is such an iconic moment for me. Probably more than anything Brendan Fraser has done in his entire career.
I admire the way David handled his prejudiced peers; he would have literally destroyed them if anyone came out in the rain. He came across very strong and believed in himself! I loved when he yelled "Cowards" That was one of my favorite parts in the movie.
Yes, they all really went too far, by making that swastika sign, ordering him home. Totally crossed the line. Ten to one, if any of them had the courage to go out and meet him behind that one dorm(where he said to meet him), they all would have been “the sorriest people on this planet, by far.” He truly had had quite enough of this uncalled for, unfair Antisemitism.
They wanted him to see them, escpecially since it allowed him to see just how many people were united against him, that’s what makes it such a strategic and brilliant scene.
Thats real cold of the school to make the work study kids bus tables in the cafeteria. Sheesh...let him help with the grounds keeping, maintenance but not that. Thats horrible.
I know it's just a movie but what got me the most was the swastika. The movie's setting was too close to World War 2 for that kind of shit. If I was a 50's teen I most certainly would have known relatives and friends of relatives that fought and died in WW2, seeing a swastika would have pissed me off and I'm not even Jewish. That's me bitching about the movies writing, not the characters.
I went to Catholic schools and college so naturally I ended up dating Catholic boys. But the few Jewish boys/men I got to know in life were very nice, very respectful and my family never gave me any trouble about seeing them. They all came from nice families.
It was like a convergence of future superheroes and tough guys here… Batman, Jason Bourne, 1995 Robin (or Callen from NCIS: LA, what you prefer), Rick O’Connell, Rip Wheeler,…
Poor David. You can tell just what his “friends-turned-enemies” are thinking right after he posts the note on the wall: “What did he just write?” Then, when they look out their dorm windows and see that he really means business-“Do you suppose he really means this?” “Looks like it, but he can stand out there in the pouring rain until kingdom come until he’s drenched and get DOUBLE PNEUMONIA, for all I care!” “Yes, he REALLY had a lot of nerve, lying to us!”(as he never told them that he was Jewish.) And Chris:”Look, will you kindly cut him some slack, for Pete’s sake? It’s not as if he ASKED to be Jewish, much less! He deserves to be treated as an equal just as much as the rest of us! And furthermore, above all, I’m SURE he’s proud as can be about his faith, deep down where it really counts!”
David is great @ :30, all like, “You want faster? I’LL give you FASTER, McGoo!” and with that strides up to him and assaults him. At least Rip is kind enough to trade tables with him, as he can see how upset and fired up David is at Collins”McGoo’s” and Dillon’s cracks about his faith. Hey, we all have that breaking or snapping point, when we’re pushed too far and can’t take it anymore and we really need to get away from the source of our grief(which it’s plain is just what David is doing, avoiding Collins and Charlie as best he can while serving at the table.)
This scene was very strong, and David did make them all look weak. But I think the ending when he tells Dillion he”ll be a Prick, (after Dillion saying he will always be a goddamn Jew.) and Just laughs and walks off knowing who he is was more compelling!
I went to an all boys boarding school that looked a lot like this setting. And it’s true, rich white preppy guys are not man enough to fight their own fights.
I can’t help but wonder if it was by choice that Brendan Fraser didn’t become a big star soon after this film (I mean like Affleck or DiCaprio); his acting talent and physicality were stellar in the early 1990s. Remember Encino Man? Same timeframe as School Ties, a silly film which was hardly as critically-acclaimed, but Fraser’s comedic character was nothing whatsoever like his portrayal in School Ties - the hallmark of a great actor. Some of his roles upwards of a decade later were not in wide-releasing films or even that good (bad scripts?). Something just didn’t work which really should have.
I would have left it there. A swastika in a setting of wasp virtue. Any headmaster would make sure a few asses would sting. And set an example of a board member parent took out his endowment if his son was expelled for jew bating.
It kind upsetting that they never really gave School Ties a lot of credit but then you have A League of their own Same Concept different story all both in the 50's one thing changes from another
A League of Their Own was set in the 40s. The women's baseball league was an entertainment filler for the folks at home while the MLB players enlisted or were drafted in World War 2.
I don't think it means anything , just being a jerk, asking him for something ridiculous to make David work harder. Like saying, I need a fork for my spoon. Just being an ass (Although personally, I grew up sprinkling salt in my oranges and watermelons )
The sad thing is a lot of people today would look at this scene in disbelief of how a good looking white man like this can possibly be a victim of discrimination. Seems like things haven't changed all that much since 1955 after all.
I was in high school when this movie came out and unfortunately there was just no buzz around it. It just came and went like it was invisible. It certainly had all these future star actors in it, but at the time it just didn’t have an audience.
Methinks it's getting modern play in the wake of the Kristallnachts going on right now at American colleges everywhere, and thank God for it. This movie has aged frighteningly well.

Props to the guy who was wiling to swap tables with David.
He was also one of the three that believed David didn't cheat.
Do you the actor's name?

"The Whale" has entered the chat.

@@MrJamieMurph4141969 Well agreed!
I think that Collins, the kid with the glasses at 2:25, was the one who put the swatstika sign in Greene’s room.
I dont know about the greatest scene in the history of cinema. But it is an awesome scene.
Yeah.. 👍 And the entire movie is awesome too... 🤟
@@KnaveMartinetto9 wonderful movie. Reminds me a bit of the Gary Cooper scene in The Pride of the Yankees
@@texastea5686 mmm, sorry too old... But I may take a look 👍 .. Thank you
Liked how that sign he threw out hit the four-eyed nerd.
Yeah. That dweeb had it coming.
David should have beat his ass. He deserved to get beat multiple times throughout the movie.
I hated that prick as much as Dillion
I think that Collins, the kid with the glasses, is the one who masterminded the anti-Semitic sign.
@Logan Dunn The big shots at that school would never have taken a Jewish boy’s side over Collins’ side. That’s what’s disgusting.
The lights being turned on would only make it harder to see David, not easier. Can you believe Batman and Robin go to this school?
They wanted him to see them, escpecially since it allowed him to see just how many people were united against him, that’s what makes it such a strategic and brilliant scene.

It's good he made friends outside of that antisemitic circle.
They eventually did come around though and admitted they were wrong so I wish he at least acknowledged that.
@@TheUnseenPath Well, Jack Connors and Rip Van Kelt came around but not so sure about McGoo, Chesty and some of the others.
@@bluecatky I agree I highly doubt Ben Affleck‘s character came around. He probably knew the truth but chose to defend Dillon.
This was one of the best movies I watched when I was a kid, and still checking if yt will eventually run the whole movie.
That coward with the glasses because he parents rich he thinks he can bully every poor but when things got real he is just coward
Thats real cold of the school to make the work study kids bus tables in the cafeteria. Sheesh...let him help with the grounds keeping, maintenance but not that. Thats horrible.

He was very particular
about the movies he wanted to do
He said he was black listed by Hollywood for turning down sexual advances from a powerful man a la Harvey Weinstein
He did though
@@midtownkitten483and that wasn’t Harvey Weinstein he attacked women ya gay
