"Lean on Me" Review
1989
A John G. Avildsen Film
Protagonist: Morgan Freeman
Run-time: 1 hour 48 minutes
A school is in a constant, delicate state of balance with the students on one side and the teachers on the other. If one side gains power or loses interest then it all falls into chaos and anarchy.
When this happens; discipline and unyielding will is the only thing that can turn things around.
This film follows the tyrannical new principal; Joe Clark(Morgan Freeman), as he turns a school of slackers into what it is supposed to be: an institute of learning, while balancing respect, courtesy and the letter of the law in order to achieve the task he has been given.
There are instances of violence, but for the most part this is a drama film that I feel everyone should see at some time.
