Courage and Self-Awareness: Powerful Scene from Detachment
The 2011 movie Detachment is one of the successful productions that shed light on the world of education. Adrien Brody, who plays the leading role in the film, plays Henry Barthes, a substitute teacher. In his first lesson in his new class, Barthes will give his students an important lesson about anger management and self-awareness.
I’m Mr. Bart… Listen up I have one rule just one if you don’t wish to be here don’t come… question about what a friend or a parent might say about you during your funeral okay you have 30 minutes… That bag, it doesn’t have any feelings, it’s empty. I don’t have any feelings, you can hurt either, okay? I understand you’re angry. I used to be very angry too, okay. I get it you have no reason to be angry with me, because I’m one of the few people that’s here trying to give you an opportunity now. I’m going to ask you to just sit down and do your best and I’ll give you a piece of paper how’s that?
Kids don’t have any attention span, they’re bored so how are you supposed to reel them in with classic literature if they don’t if they don’t believe that you have something meaningful to share? Why’d you throw Marcus out of class without Jerry? Well, I had to make an example out of somebody anyway mark has verbally assaulted you and’s not allowed in my classroom what they say to me is immaterial.
Say you really don’t care what the kids say to you. Perhaps I’ve gotten used to it. I wish I could be that strong. It doesn’t take strength, Meredith. You gotta understand that unfortunately most people lack self-awareness, you should really keep that in mind as you head into the trenches of the second period you’ll meet him again at every age
