Class of 1984 (1982)
Ultra violence
A drama at the beginning turning into an ultra violence movie at the end. Mark A. Lester paints the portraits of young people living for violence and turning adults into scapegoats for their violence. What a pleasure to see it over and over again. Actors are great, Van Patten a perfect punk gang leader, charismatic and clever but insane. The end of the movie is really a perfect illustration of violence unleashing violence. The best school violence movie ever made. There are a lot of moments really good in this movie: a few examples: The scene of the drug dealing, the scene where Timothy Van Patten hurts himself in the toilets, the track he plays at the piano, the scene of the rape, and the whole scenes of the end of the movie which goes crescendo in the violence. This movie made in 1982 is always pleasant to watch, and things that happen in the movie can happen in every school nowadays, a great vision of what the world of education has become in most countries.
