Detachment

Drama

Directed by Tony Kaye

A chronicle of three weeks in the lives of several high school teachers, administrators and students through the eyes of substitute teacher Henry Barthes. Henry roams from school to school, imparting modes of knowledge, but never staying long enough to form any semblance of sentient attachment. From TMDB

    Met Xie Jin in 2008 (a few months before his passing) during a trip to China with The Film Foundation. Great filmmaker; we really bonded over TWO STAGE SISTERS and RED DETACHMENT OF WOMEN. Inadvertently challenged him to a drinking contest--he crushed me--but that cemented our too brief friendship.

    I remember looking for a script for the film 'The Red Detachment of Women' 紅色娘子軍, a patriotic classic directed by Xie Jin 謝晋 in 1961, and finding only files where someone had replaced "Communist Party" 共產黨 with the abbreviation "GCD" to get around automated keyword censorship.

    Took the time of my morning to watch the 2011 film Detachment. A movie about a broken school system, trauma, building walls around yourself and ultimately showing that small acts of kindness can make a very big difference. It's a depressing, realistically dark kinda film. But necessary. 5/5

    I saw a movie called "Detachment," which deals with serious educational problems in the United States. No film has ever portrayed such serious issues as delinquency, underage prostitution and so on. In particular, Adrien Brody's performance is impeccable and remarkable. youtu.be/eFwdw7RhqnI?...

    I watched the 2011 film "Detachment" for the first time today. What a roller-coaster of intense emotions. I almost always enjoy a movie which a plot around teaching, as someone who worked in academia myself, and raised by teachers. The story, however, is tragically devastating. Incredible film.

    Quote of the day, 28 June: St. John of the Cross Let Christ crucified be enough for you, and with him suffer and take your rest, and hence annihilate yourself in all inward and outward things Endeavor always that things be not for you, nor you for them, but forgetful of all, abide in recollection with your Bridegroom. Have great love for trials and think of them as but a small way of pleasing your Bridegroom, who did not hesitate to die for you. Bear fortitude in your heart against all things…

    9. Detachment (2011)- So I picked this movie for my picker wheel entry for Adrien Brody because it's on his IMDb known for and I had never heard of it. There's a reason for that. This is like every troubled school movie thrown into a blender at once. The cast is far too good for the movie they're in
