Dangerous Minds: Keating, Coolio, and a whole lotta inner-city drama

So, I just rewatched Dangerous Minds the other night. Man, 90s movies, am I right? Michelle Pfeiffer, leather jacket, and a bunch of at-risk teens... it's a whole vibe. Look, it's no Dead Poets Society, let's be clear. Robin Williams climbing on desks is a WAY more compelling teacher move than Ms. Johnson using Bob Dylan lyrics to teach poetry. I mean, come on. But still, there's something about it. Pfeiffer's got that cool factor, and the soundtrack? Iconic. Coolio's "Gangsta's Paradise" is PERFECTION. Seriously, try to find a more 90s moment... I'll wait. I remember seeing this in the theater when it came out, and yeah, it was kinda powerful, especially the stuff with Emilio and Callie. That hits you in the gut, even now. Some of the methods Louanne uses are a bit... questionable, let's be honest. Giving out candy for correct answers? That's gonna get you fired today, lol. And listen, I'm not saying it's a perfect movie, or even totally realistic. I mean, do inner-city schools really look like that? I dunno. But it's entertaining, and it makes you think a little bit, even if its a little heavy-handed. I always wondered if Pfeiffer got grief for the "white savior" thing. Definatly something that gets talked about more these days and I can see it. I'm not a critic or anything, just a Gen Xer who likes movies and remembers when MTV actually played music videos. But overall, I'd say Dangerous Minds is a solid 90s flick. Cheesy? Maybe. Over-the-top? Probably. But still kinda good. Anyone else feel the same? Oh! And did anyone else notice that the director is just unknown? Like nobody wanted credit... that's wild!
