I love this movie so much
best movie i've ever seen.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
I've been in love with this movie since I was a kid the witty humor to the Underdog Story just a great overall movie Danny DeVito at his funniest with a very young Mark Wahlberg
A movie that's better than you might think from some descriptions. There are a lot of good people in this film, Penny Marshall directed, and it deserves a second look. In addition to the funny stuff, there is a strong theme of socio-economic class, opportunity, and the value of communication skills. Refreshingly for a comedy, the army is not treated like idiots and automatons, though the Hines part is more stereotyped than it needed to be. Still, there are lots of good things and seeing the "educator" (DeVito) learn a few things is engaging and more. A perfect movie for a day when you're home sick and want to watch something you've seen before.
This movie gives us a glimpse of Shakespeare and a glimpse of life in the army. Some people say that only brainless thugs join the army, but thats not true and this movie proves it. Anyways in this movie Danny Devito(aka Bill Rago) loses his job of advertising and he is assigned to teach a group of soldiers in the army training camp. Although it seems impossible to shove education into their brains, at the end of the movie the soldiers realize that they earned the most precious treasure of all, EDUCATION. I've seen this movie for over twenty times and believe me i have never been bored of it. This movie has a mixture of happiness, comedy and a bit of sadness. For those people who haven't seen this movie yet, go to your local DVD store and buy the DVD.
'Renaissance Man' is a film about a teacher who is hired to teach literature to a group of rebellious army recruits. It is a film about the relationship that this teacher has with the students and the changes that all of them make. The teacher learns how to appreciate the army recruits and gets a sense of understanding from them; at the same time, they learn how to buckle down and actually enjoy reading and learning about Shakespeare's 'Hamlet'. This is one of those feel-good films. I got really sick of watching this film as it was always on television and one of those films that my family tended to watch and rewatch at least a dozen times. This film has its share of laughter and succeeds in providing a feel-good story and a happy ending.
