This ending was so sad and really showed despite all that gangster stuff they were all scared misguided kids. And Mr. Garfield was trying to show them the light.
Some "gangsters" believe that just because they're in a gang and they carry weapons, they can try and intimidate anyone, but when they actually come across someone who sees through them, then they become scared themselves.
@@chrishouston3566 so Sam Jackson just trying to be a good teacher after being stabbed then dies for these idiots?? Remember they made him play this shit. This isn’t even the real ending. The actual ending is sad with the tribute and speech from the one student who actually liked Garfield and he taught her she didn’t have to use her body to get further in life.
props to the director of this film, it shyed away from the happy endings that movies like dangerous minds, stand & deliver and freedom writers had, director wasnt afraid to get dark with it and show what some teachers have to put up with, especially in lower level educational area middle/high schools that dont give AF about the students or faculty alike. 💯💯💯
Technically, it did have a happy ending. The other teacher threw her teaching license in the trash and started a new life. The Hispanic girl, who was pretty lost at the beginning, became the valedictorian.
Dangerous minds didn't really have a happy ending, Guzmaro got killed, he tried to go to the principal but he wouldn't hear him cuz he didn't knock on the door, or something like that, so it was still kinda bad
Everyone always talks about the gang school movie Dangerous Minds & i just show them this & they all stfu afterwards 😂 Fun fact : Samuel Jackson also get his character name of Officer Tenpenny in GTA San Andreas from this film considering he gets shanked half to death by Method man in this film at the beginning by a ten penny nail in his back
4:07, when Cesar says "No" before Garfield blows his brains out, makes you wonder whether he got through to him and if Cesar was going to let him off or whether he was saying no to Garfield taking his turn for him.
@@rainy7106 I’m sure it’s been done way more than in movies. Because nobody has a camera recording in every room in history. I guarantee you, people have been playing games with death, since the beginning of time.
I love the part when the teachers pulls 3 times and he pulls once and they like U THE MAN AND U AINT SHIT but he only pulled once and the teacher pulled 3 times
Funny because Garfield was the true tough guy. Caesar and his gang members were scared pussies and wannabe tough guys alone minus their guns and gang numbers behind them. Cowardice and a bogus attempt to save face for Caesar and his phony pride image.
@@caseymckenzie3951 and notice in the movie when Garfield goes to Cesars house to talk to his mom.. Cesar leaves and comes back with his boys to talk sht to Garfield. Makes you notice through out the whole movie he always needed his boys behind him cause he was a coward. Garfield shows him that in the end and he finally realizes it
I seen this movie once when I was about 6 . And don’t remember anything about it at all but I have always vividly remembered this scene. Very powerful message
Omg same. That's how I finally fount it, typing in Sam Jackson Russian roulette, simply bc it stood out, couldn't tell you a thing about this flick other than this scene. Weird
He said "ill die for stupidity if it'll teach you somethin", then he took caesar's turn and died. Instead of seeing this as some type of redemptive moment/second chance to change his ways, caesar was upset he took his turn so he tried again "i got a 1/6 chance of making it". I guess even with a bullet to the head he still couldnt teach him somethin....
I think what he saw was hope die right in front of him, and he literally provided the gun; I think when Sam killed himself that Cesar wanted to die for it. But yea, it was still a prideful move, bc I'm sure it's not what Sam wanted.
I remember this as a kid. Mr. Garfield was the real gangster in this scene. This is such an underrated movie Mr. Garfield saw right through these guys.
4:43 “Are you saying I’m a chavala?” Dangggg idk why but this hit me hard it’s crazy to think that I know people like this and that those people really exist
@@garrysmith5562 this mentality is too real sir. I grew up in the hood and the majority who died young were gang bangers like these guys. Died as a teen looking for death by their actions. It finds most of them and the rest are in prison. I know someone who at 19 held his baby in his arms as he shot himself in the head. Gang banger meth addicted guy. Loud pop and life is over because of bs. Its not casablanca but it's real.
The teacher was Cesar's last hope to live. Now that the teacher dead, Cesar made the right choice, he can't survive in the real world, why? Because every young gang banger, he's gonna die in the worst way or maybe becoming a junkie. At least one of the three in the movie, graduated from high school before it was too late.
this movie changed my life. watched it as a kid around 10 and was so saddened by it. watched it again when i was 16 and became trouble in school. this film made me respect teachers on a whole other level.
"What's the fucking point?" 😭 I can only imagine the despair one has to feel seeing something like that go down infront of you. Shit hit Stevie so hard, he stop being a pretend gangster and go back to the more affluent part of the neighborhood.
I truly believe that, in the end, Garfield got through to them. That their way of life is garbage. Tragically, people like César had broken him to the point where, despite Garfield having the message to change them, he no longer had the drive to do so. We see that he got through to them via Stevie graduating and Paco seemingly leaving the gang life. It's sad. Especially since in Cesar's case, there was no father in the home. How different his life might have been if there actually was a father in his home. So it's not just the gang life that is bullshit.....
the last scene kinda consternating, i live in a poor southeast asian country, and the film just reflects life in urban and suburban areas of my country. Dysfunction of families negatively impacts on kids'. Many of them just leave house at night and gather with their friends just to rob and murder people who go home from night shifts, they embrace the gang life, all about killing and banging.
What I believe is most powerful about this scene is that Garfield knew no matter what, he was gonna die. He might as well do it teaching Cesar something and that was about how misguided and tragic his life was. He showed all three that he wasn’t afraid to play the game, and he was more than willing to show them what would eventually happen. Great performance, Jackson!
Mr. Garfield reminds these three knuckleheaded delinquents that he caused a lost lifestyle he has lead throughout his days of teaching and now he feels his passion for teaching is being overtaken
Wish it would here showed the part of Stevie crying and asking Caesar “ What was the fucking point????” Finally realizing that this life ain’t worth it when seeing your Homeboys-Eses die literally for nothing🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿
Just shows you through ALL the Bullshit, Cesar had RESPECT for Sam Jackson at the end of the day. Even though it cost him his life! That was the whole point of the movie.
I saw this for the first time ever and the ending clearly shows that once you’ve been through hell nothing can hurt anymore and Mr. Garfield showed that
I understand where Garfield was coming from I lost everything and all I have left is to try to teach people about God but they treat me like shit in return ,God bless
This film is so slept on. Especially if you like dark, bleak, gritty crime dramas. SLJ’s character undergoes an incredible transformation and, spoilers, it’s not a positive one. Unless you root for unhinged antihero types as I do.
Shit they cut the BEST last 2 secs of the kid running back in after ceaser pops himself and says “cmon man what the fuck was even the point” mr.Garfield point atleast settled with him
I've been watching this movie since the late 90s. Today after watching it for the 10th or so time this scene hits home more than ever since I'm fully grown. I can see the message that all the macho tough guy crap is a big front and in the end it's not worth it, evidenced by the remaining gangbangers that regret the parts they played in what went down at the end
Whats crazy is that he put the bullets in himself so he put them both together idk if he forgot or maybe wanted to take his life but that was a big part of this scene rhat make it crazy
Pyrrhic victory on Caesars end he won Russian roulette but lost his respect so in trying to regain it because Garfield took his turn he also lost his life so in reality he gained his respect back but lost his life..... And that's what you call a pyrrhic victory

Same
This scene disturbed me as a young kid.
@@junfaa i remember watching this movie with my brother and Im always still able to vividly recall this scene despite forgetting the name of the movie
Man shut up. We all saw this film at the same time late night on some random movie channel.
Omg same. That's how I finally fount it, typing in Sam Jackson Russian roulette, simply bc it stood out, couldn't tell you a thing about this flick other than this scene. Weird
He said "ill die for stupidity if it'll teach you somethin", then he took caesar's turn and died. Instead of seeing this as some type of redemptive moment/second chance to change his ways, caesar was upset he took his turn so he tried again "i got a 1/6 chance of making it". I guess even with a bullet to the head he still couldnt teach him somethin....
Sometimes Egos are BIGGER then Life it Self....
@@dinkyramirez9866 Therefore, César was willing to die for stupidity. Like César said: it's all he had.
And when he blows his brains out Ceaser proves him right. He coulda walked out but his pride got in the way and he just HAAD to beat him.
He did reach him.
What Caesar learned 🤔 was taking his turn regardless of the consequences.
I think what he saw was hope die right in front of him, and he literally provided the gun; I think when Sam killed himself that Cesar wanted to die for it. But yea, it was still a prideful move, bc I'm sure it's not what Sam wanted.
This movie and the contrast in lighting always struck me. In New York it was blue sunshine and L.A you had this burnt orange dusty look.
That's a good observation. I never noticed until you said something.
I remember this as a kid. Mr. Garfield was the real gangster in this scene. This is such an underrated movie Mr. Garfield saw right through these guys.
What a scene. Such an underrated movie as well. Brilliant performances from all these guys.
Cesar’s mom got her wish. Her and her other kids can live peacefully now without him.
and why is that?
@@DeANGELIS4735 because he was a terrible person and was a horrible son. She said that to the teacher “that sometimes she wishes God would take him.”

Jackson shines in every role he does. A true, naturally gifted actor.
Chilling scene. This was a sad scene, and I didn't see it coming although the possibility was getting more and more stronger as the end approached.
One of Sam Jackson’s best films yet very few people heard of or seen it. This was a depressing, disturbing but important vigilante film/social drama.

play with me and the i cantkill u
Criminally, underrated movie..💯
I love how the teacher taunts Cesar he knows he is all away stupid to die from his own pride
They need to make a prequel... When he said no matter how many of you I take out... That could be a premise for an entirely different movie
Never thought of that. Very interesting
Good idea, but the actor would have to be different
They did, it's called "The Substitute" with Tom Berringer.
Could be.. but I always thought he was referring to Benny
An ending never to be forgotten.
The teacher was Cesar's last hope to live.
Now that the teacher dead, Cesar made the right choice, he can't survive in the real world, why?
Because every young gang banger, he's gonna die in the worst way or maybe becoming a junkie.

Because that person actually did his schoolwork and got the grades

The fact that the bullet were right next to each other he didnt even realize despite him putting the ammo in himself

Please show this in the schools around the country. Beautiful film.

Hits me Everytime
0:13 silly in movies like this they always spind the cylinder when its locked in place.
Hollywood has no experience with guns, ask "gun control" advocate Alec Baldwin.
Cesar was so f'd up by this that he cleaned up his act and became a cop in 2005
Samuel L jackson is so intimidating in these movies
My fav Sam Jackson movie
At least he manned up in the end ,good ending sad but true
I understand where Garfield was coming from I lost everything and all I have left is to try to teach people about God but they treat me like shit in return ,God bless
Oh so now you are the victim?. Right aren't they all deep down inside. I love how he showed him.
He probably did manage teach the other guys.

I've been watching this movie since the late 90s. Today after watching it for the 10th or so time this scene hits home more than ever since I'm fully grown. I can see the message that all the macho tough guy crap is a big front and in the end it's not worth it, evidenced by the remaining gangbangers that regret the parts they played in what went down at the end
Sam Jackson's best an most underrated movie..
had to show my G this ,
Yagiヤギ did it help?
He’s got the biggest plot armour ever
🤣🤣🤣
Whats crazy is that he put the bullets in himself so he put them both together idk if he forgot or maybe wanted to take his life but that was a big part of this scene rhat make it crazy
He spun the cylinder again before he took his last turn though
yes he did. that's why he said he got one of the 6 chances spun it n pull the trigger
This movie was part of my childhood so much nostalgia 💯💯
I don't remember much about this movie - except for this last scene as it was very intense.
This is literally frank tennpenny vs
Ceaser vilapando.
Criminally underrated movie
You can't kill me homeboy I am what I am

Great fucking movie
Frank Tenpenny and Cesar Vialpando playing Russian Roulette... amazing.
A very underrated movie
Cylinder wont spin once it's back in the frame.
Cesar may not have had cojones but he at least had honor which is why he took a turn for Mr. G.
He took his own turn. Mr g would have won the game.
“Oh,so now you’re the victim?“ has always stuck with me. I’m 30 and I’ve been saying that for 18 years
I just finished watching this. The ending always gets me emotional 😢❤
Pyrrhic victory on Caesars end he won Russian roulette but lost his respect so in trying to regain it because Garfield took his turn he also lost his life so in reality he gained his respect back but lost his life..... And that's what you call a pyrrhic victory
