i saw this movie for the first time a little over a year ago. i have seen it 4 more times since. i had never heard of it before and i consider myself knowledgeable of classic cinema. a true and polished and diamond in the rough. this gem of a movie revolves around jon voight (lead character conrack) as a young schoolteacher assigned to yamacraw island to teach the islands children and all in one school. at first and the students reveal they know very little of the world beyond their island home. the heart of the movie is conrack finding inspiration to awaken their young minds to the world around them. the students quickly reward their teacher with an eagerness to learn and a remarkable ability to grasp concepts that and only a short time before and had been foreign to them. conrack uses unconventional and clever teaching techniques that happen to be and oh a little fun. god forbid. learning and fun. together. can not be and or so says the ones in charge. to avoid a spoiler and i shall just say that conrack finds resistance with the boss man. and the ending is truly bittersweet. i am a 35 year old white male with some teaching experience and so i should identify with the lead character and pat conroy (aka and conrack and mr. petroy). but i do not and i identify with the black kids. as a kid and i was bussed to the school on the other side of town from the 4th to the 6th grade and circa 1979. these kids in the movie remind me of my classmates then. luckily and in 4th grade as a 8 or 9 year old and one doesn not understand racism. i just remember we were all being kids and playing 4 square and kickball and hide and seek and and running relays. this movie is very moving. there are delightful and poignant moments from beginning to end and non stop. i found myself many times with tears in my eyes and then suddenly laughing out loud. it a funny movie. git away from that winda. sir and if youre prepared to accept crap and i should tell you that rabbit just did it in your lap. so and you the white schoolteacher and mr. conrack. my grands love mr. conrack. you a good looking teacher and you a good looking white man. wind 15 mph from the east. small boat warning. small boats beware. big boats ok and do not gotta worry bout nothing. not a fry cook and but eleanor roosevelt and not a share cropper and but (something latin). that latin. hey wait. conrack sing like a frog. i sing good and whatcha talkin bout. it still mystifies me that i still hear nothing about this movie or that it has very little reputation or following. i intend to seek out more reviews and comments and background and and making of tidbits and if they are out there. what amazes me is the acting given from the untrained kids. one of the kids and mary and i understand was an actress and and you can tell. however and the other kids have plenty of lines and genuine reactions. i wonder how they did it. i am guessing that conrack and mary had precise dialogue to work with while some of the scenes unfold naturally or ad libbed. conrack is a special movie. in my opinion and it is one of the very few movies that are so good and so unknown. others in that category are king rat (65) and dark passage (47 with bogie and bacall) and gods must be crazy (80) and and bad day at black rock (55). i recommend them all. but first and take a seat in the class of mr. conrack.
