LEADERSHIP AND RESILIENCE

The film primarily focused on a man who is known for his leadership abilities and resilience named Joe Louis Clark who transformed the lives of the children of Eastside High into something unimaginable. 

Gang violence, drug use, and vandalism filled the halls of Eastside High , and students and teachers alike seemed resigned to the school's downward spiral. Then entered Mr.Joe Clark into the lives of these children as their new principal who entirely changed their attitude and way of living. Clark’s method of controlling the children seemed to be controversial and unpromising. Even his method was not liked by all the staff in that faculty.

He implemented strict discipline policies, including dress code and zero-tolerance approach to misbehaviour. He expelled nearly three hundred students who were deemed troublemakers and clashed with the teachers' union. Despite all the resistance from students and staff he was resolute on his mission to turn the school around. He inspired each and every student to learn and bring the best behaviour and education out of them. He entirely changed the thought process of each and every student in the school.

But Clark’s method of tolerance was put to question by his frustrated colleagues and parents. But his unconventional methods yielded promising results.

In the climatic scene, Clark rallied the students to improve the academic

performance which eventually led to a dramatic turnaround in the result of the students. His efforts finally led to the results and he was even praised by his fellow teachers and students. 

"Lean on Me" is a compelling and inspiring film of leadership, resilience, and the enduring power of education to effect positive change. Through its powerful storytelling and memorable performances, the film continued to resonate with viewers and served as a reminder of the importance of hope, determination, and community.

This is a story based on the real incident and the character of Joe Clark was portrayed by Morgan Freeman in a commanding way.

The film overall portrays the leadership qualities and the resistance and resilience of Joe Louis Clark to transform the children for their better upbringing in an unorthodox and unconventional method.

MY OPINIONS AND REVIEWS OF LEAN ON ME Movie

 "Lean on Me" is a very nice movie based on the true story of Joe Clark, a tough but inspirational high school principal who transformed a troubled school in Paterson, New Jersey. The movie portrays Clark's unorthodox methods and unwavering commitment to improving the lives of his students. It's a gripping story of leadership, discipline, and the importance of education. "Lean on Me" is a phrase that conveys the idea of seeking support or assistance from someone else during difficult times. The movie opens with a brief sequence showing Clark starting out at a well-run Eastside High in the 1960s, alienating his principal and being transferred out. It continues 20 years later, with Clark more or less happily teaching in a good school in a nice neighborhood. "Lean on Me" movie is widely praised for its compelling narrative, strong performances, particularly by Morgan Freeman in the lead role, and its uplifting message. However, some critics have noted...

Lean On Me Review

  It's 1967 Paterson, New Jersey. Innovative agitating teacher Joe Clark (Morgan Freeman) is transferred from the idyllic Eastside High School so the union can get a raise. Twenty years later, the school has become a rundown urban jungle. The school is ranked last in the state. 75% of the school must pass a minimum requirement exam or the state will take over. Frank Napier  was Clark's friend and fellow teacher at the school. As superintendent of schools, he hires Clark as the new principal. Clark institute new dictatorial rules battling the government, the bad seeds, the teachers and one particular parent Leonna Barrett to rein in the unruly school. This is Rambo taking over a school. I'm not saying it's the best way to teach. Maybe it's the only way that school could be controlled. All I'm claiming is that this works as a movie. Morgan Freeman delivers a rip roaring performance basically as a dictator. At times, his tyrannical nature pushes the audience but I ...
