🎬Movie: The Gambler (2014)

“How to get the entire class to hate a person” step 1

The writers wrote this while daydreaming they were the genius writer he was talking about

This is Mark’s idea of how a University professor acts. 😂😂😂

I grew up being told I was the smartest person in the room, teacher included. I had a high IQ. I hated it. Being the smartest in the room doesn't mean anything if you never achieve success, or lack social skills to make friends. Having a high IQ doesn't make you better than others. A neurosurgeon can talk about the brain for hours on end, but at the end of the day, they still bring their car to a mechanic when it needs to be fixed. There's always someone better than you at something.

Can we ban this music altogether

Her role literally was supporting him gambling all his money away. And when she wasn’t there, he actually won!

meh, so many people get called naturally gifted/talented for their skills, and it's almost insulting to them to discount the hardwork and effort they had put in to get there. No one is born with all the skills needed to be world class at something - they may have a slight advantage, but to reach the top ranks it's more a requirement of dedication than talent.

Bro roasted the whole class including himself just to praise her 😂😂😂😂

Mark Wahlberg plays a hell of a Mark Wahlberg!

Bro it's always the same background music

How to get your student bullied 101:

Him singling her out like that makes me so uncomfortable

You can tell nobody ever said this to the writer of the movie

The worst thing that ever happened to me was an educator acknowledging my intelligence. It put more pressure on me than I knew how to handle at that age

When you're smart you learn to shut your mouth, because you know people often won't really listen anyway because they are so caught up in their own reality

“Why are you better than the rest of us?” Genetics.

So if you're not inherently the best at something, you shouldn't even bother? Great message. Worst teacher ever.

The writers were trying really hard here. Keep trying, writers.

Brie Larson loves being told she’s better than everybody else 😂

I wouldnt sit in a class with a teacher that said this, not even if I was the "genius" he's talking about. Complete waste of time if the teacher thinks that everyone should quit the class if they dont naturally understand something. Im in the class to learn, not for the teacher to tell me there is an imaginary bar that I will never reach even after working hard and studying.

Imagine a professor doing this in front of an entire class. Talk about bad teaching.

Mark Wahlberg playing a professor is like Paris Hilton playing Socrates

I can tell you from personal experience that parents and other trusted adults beat any and all emotional reward out of excelling (naturally excelling). I understand that it must have been endlessly frustrating for my parents to see that I naturally excelled and failed when I didn't try... but I was always trying. Nothing hits me as hard to this day than still only hearing compliments and missing me from my parents ONLY through someone else that they have told. Not that they told them to tell me, but like they didn't want me to ever get any reward, inspiration, or motivation from naturally being good. If I had a child, I would try really hard to understand that childs strengths and weaknesses to build a proper human. Obviously that's easier said than ever accomplished, but still a better starting point than saying "I'll just love them" while drawing weird lines on what my limits of love are.

Same as my son, he can read and write at the age of two..😊 when he first saw a Xmas card at 7 months old,he stares at it as if he is reading it,look at me and smile. Can't forget it,,haha

How not to teach

Dude this feels like complete wish fulfillment "...and then he tells the varsity athlete that he's not that great and he tells that stupid nerd that he's annoying and then he tells everyone that I'm the smartest and I just sit there all cool because I don't actually care and then ge goes on about how genius I am and then..."

Her parents allowed her to read at 2 and inspired her to do so. My son was out of diapers, was doing well with beginners ASL and just starting to learn to do a full run at the age of one. Inspiration and positive reinforcement creates paragons. Sorry for saying this, I was denied a lot as a child and I learned that I suffered because of it. This short inspired me to say something even if it was TMI.

Even the music couldn't save this scene. 😂

Movie: The Gambler

Aptitude and talent are valuable. Attitude and dedication are invaluable.

This movie should be called "The Groomer" I had a professor try this on me in grad school. Not in front of a classroom, but multiple times in front of other grad students. It was the early nineties and I reported him and was told nothing vould be done about it because he was full professor and brought a lot of money into the university. Turned out he had had many affairs with students, another he had treated as he did me had reported him, but they "could not do snything about it because he was too powerful " Yes things were quite different, not that long ago.

Movie name: Cringe

Talent is nothing without purpose and dedication. There is something to be said about human power of will. To be able to push yourself and achieve greatness. Yes, you may need an aptitude but talent doesn't keep you going when you're hurt, scared, tired or alone.

This scene takes me back to a moment long ago in High School when my, normally observant yet quiet self- chose to speak up and challenge the substitute Teachers conclusion at the end of his story. "...and this is the only way that could have happened, therefore they ARE the guilty party!" So I spoke up and asked him "Why is that the only way it could have happened?" He is visibly annoyed and returns said challenge with a very loud "Well why don't you enlighten us with how else it could POSSIBLY have happened!?!" I am shy but I give him three quick examples, the room is silent so I add "and that's just off the top of my head, i can come up with more if you give me a minute." He glares at me, turns his back on the Class, crosses his arms and starts furiously tapping his mouth. I fear his angered wrath while a few Kids make those "ohh you did it now" noises- I am terrified. He suddenly whirls around, points at me and says "YOU! If you don't go to College, what a waste, WHAT A WASTE!!!" He continues on while I am frozen in embarrassment. Then all the whispering comments began to swirl around me, "brown nose!" "Teachers pet!" "know it all!" "smarty pants" I heard the compliment yet I felt about 2" tall! I silently vow to keep my big mouth shut. Good times! ❤

Mark playing a college professor is the biggest joke on professors.

In my experience, the quiet person REALLY doesn't want you to acknowledge them in front of the rest of the class. I had something similar happen in a math class in high school (Not being told I was a genius, but the teacher bringing up my test scores and such). In my Freshmen year, a new book in the Wheel of Time series came out (Path of Daggers), and I did a re-read of the first seven books of the series and then started on book eight. I did most of my reading in school, sometimes before class in the hallway, sometimes at lunch, but often in my classes when I was already done with what needed to be done with the class. A few weeks into the semester, maybe even mid-term, not sure, we got the grades back from a test in my geometry class, which was the third test we'd had so far, and I apparently had the only good grade in the class. I had somewhere between a 98-100 on the test, while the rest of the class had grades in the 70s and below. At the time, the teacher used to put the number of tests with each grade on the board, and I was consistently the only "A". He never put names up there, just like, A = 1, B = 3, C = 12, D = 7, F = 3 or something for 26 students (I don't remember the exact number of students, but it was 20+ students for one teacher). My classmates always used to complain because "someone" messed up the curve, and if "they" hadn't gotten an A, the teacher would have had to grade give out bonus points or something. I don't know if that was a real thing or not, but that is what everyone believed in school! Anyway, after giving our tests back, he put the numbers on the board, and there was 1 "A", and every other person had a "D" or an "F" (At that time, a 70-78 was a D, and everything below that was an F.) The teacher then proceeded to go into a rant about how nobody was trying and all that, and then he pointed me out telling everyone that I spend half the class "reading novels" and was still the only one who got a good grade. Needless to say, I really didn't like being singled out like that, because now everyone knew that I was the one throwing off their curve! Not just that, you can't just shame people into being better at math...

"Now that you've identified the student most likely to be *gr👀med* into sleeping with you, can we move on?" EDIT: Better?

Because professors know everyone’s name in an auditorium class setting.

The quiet ones are strong in literary arts because they are observant.

For those who wanted actual advice here, the answer is Passion. Intellect and skill can get you far, but if you don't have the drive to be the best that you can be and then more, you'll never truly be the best. Look at Muhammed Ali or Mike Tyson, they lived and breathed Boxing. It was their passion and for Mike, probably still is. Look at Keanu Reeves. Constantly in interviews he talks about how much he loves movies and action and storytelling, and because of that hes considered one of the greatest actors ever. Edit: Alright fine, for the people judging my taste in actors and what I enjoy, feel free to insert Willem Dafoe. If I see anyone slandering Willem Dafoe, I will find you. Its Passion. The answer to why someone would be better in that scenario is because they are passionate for the topic.

In reality, this would make multiple people extremely uncomfortable and report this teacher to the dean for specific targeting of students and revealing personal information and details they did not consent to share

Mark playing a professor, ive seen it all 😆

These vids are so good

It's a fantasy: that those who felt themselves overlooked are secretly unrecognised geniuses. That is not the case. Get out of your shell and work hard, and make something of yourself. Don't wait for that one person to come along and recognise your worth, because you ain't worth anything until you actually go out and try, hard as it is.

Awesome movie.

I thought he was talking about Dexter Morgan for a second

Movie: how to embarrass and hookup with your students

He didnt even let her answer the questions he asked 😂

I can't get enough of the background music 😂😂😂 it's sooo beauuuutifuuuul and 😂😂😂

The quietest student in the room is gifted❤

Who the hell let wahlberg play a teacher. Probably his most unbelievable role

So this is where she got it from, Marky Mark tells you you're a genius and you believe him? ❤😂

This was one of his best movies

Elizabeth zott is a genius in every movie i see her in.

Mark whalberg is just himself in every single movie.

What people are looking for is a documentary called ‘In search of greatness’ that about sums up perfectly what sets perceived genius from the rest. The two qualities you have to posses is what the experts in said documentary called ‘A rage to master’ (as in not a desire to master something but a RAGE) and an ‘ability to learn’ (as in quickly pick up the concept of what you’re trying to be good at i.e piano).

I was shamed in childhood for being the quietest child in school. And i have been a genius all my life but i am only discovering it now.that pain still with me. Why does everyone need talking some of us are happy with ourselves silent

Mark Wahlberg playing an intelligent teacher is like conor mcgregor playing van gogh

My senior HS English teacher pushed me really hard. We had a paper worth a 1/3 of the grade. We were constantly revising it with his feedback. We had to think of the intended audience and keep it as concise as possible. We wrote the initial one and he had us scale it back to a bare bones skeleton form and build off of that. It was stressful because I had to pass that class to graduate. I was never pushed that hard before. I even got a C in AP Calculus because I'd be doing my paper in there. He really did bring up my skills, and that did help me in my career.

He's not wrong at all. Although geniuses can be cultivated and aren't necessarily always natural occurances, they are fundamentally at a level above their peers. And it mostly has to do with time. They gain an understanding and ability early on that allows them to be prodigious in their field. Anyone gaining that degree of understanding any later is already at a huge disadvantage, and the understanding itself is already rare enough. The only way to "catch up" is as the old saying goes (which I'll paraphrase horribly) "hardwork is better than talent when talent fails to work hard."

Based on his logic, he shouldn’t have bothered to study and teach.

The danger in saying anything like that to Brie Larson is that she will believe you mean it.

Movie: the one face she can make and all of her roles.

Does she have one of those contracts like the rock where every role she's in she has to be beloved by everyone around her? Like he's literally sitting there "omg she's literally the best ever, she'll never fail"

Thank you.😊😘❤❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥

Creative topic for a movie plug! I can't wait to see this!

I can never see Mark Walberg as any sort of teacher. 😅

Mark Wahlberg as an academic. I was OK with a black mermaid and female ghostbusters, but come on...this is artistic license gone too far. :)

Wow Never seen this great movie!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

There's always someone better than you at something.

Stop casting him as a professor... It doesn't work...

World class acting from bri

7:52 hyunter always helping each other

When your script writers are trolling the editors.

Every genius studies more. Every pro athlete plays more. Every musician practices more. Every prodigy is a person who does one thing more than anyone else. If you train well for an extra 10,000 hours you'll get as good as them.

After your IQ is ~120 or more, social class has more influence on success. Several large studies have been done on this. It means that a fair few people who should be brilliant surgeons, scientists, artists, cousellors etc are working shifts to have a normal existence. I like to think everyone has moments of genius, some people just have more of them.

WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS MOVIE I WOULD LIKE TO WATCH THIS MOVIE ?????

"Why are you better than the rest of us?" "Because, Brie Larson won't take a movie if she isn't" lol

First great act by Mark

Very nice.

only in fictional movie will Bri Larson hear that she is a genius and a artist 😂

Movie name: The Shawshank Redemption

Brilliant 👍😎

Mark can play any role. Any genre of movies 🎬 he's got it. 💯

I'm so sick of this song

Imagine reading a script you thought was great, signed onto the film, and then found out Mark Walhberg was cast as the professor

nobody would ever talk like this professor

In case no one bothers telling the actual reason she's better at writing than he is at tines. I'll go ahead and say it here. The person who studies a subject but doesn't stand out in anything else spends more time on that subject than the person who masters a subject yet spends time partying, looking for girls or boys or enjoying their victories. He studied the game. He spent his time reaching the highest level and stopped. After that he spent maybe 5% of the entire time he is awake during a month on the game. The quiet person who studies their chosen field. That person, if they don't stand out publicly tends to spend as much of their waking time on that subject as they can. They go beyond simply mastering that field. In ancient Greece, the athletes would be declared gods. This is because these people studied their chosen profession quietly until it was time to demonstrate it during the Olympics. There is a masturbation meme about someone with a giant arm and a normal arm on the other side. This is actually a thing the athletes who threw discusses or the javelins in ancient Greece experienced because they had arms like that. They've dug up their graves and examine their bodies and the arm they used to throw whatever it is they were throwing was a third larger than their other arm. This is how much time they spent on their sport. I once saw a blacksmith working on a ranch who picked up a 600 pound anvil by its horn and walk across the room with it and set it down on a pedestal like it was a gallon jug of milk. There's also many KZfaq videos of a Slavic power lifter, who goes into a gym, dressed as a janitor and trolls the giant guys. He's telling them they're lifting fake weights. He's like 5 foot nothing and looks to he is barely above a stick figure. He walks up to 8 or 900 pound weights. Lifts them like there nothing. Just so he can troll those giant power lifters that they're lifting fake weights.😂 kzfaq.infoJJlcU-ZF9z0?si=sw1HkFoAfTXB-kPm

She stays quiet because Brie Larson knows that nobody likes her.

Honestly kinda embarassing at this point that she always takes roles where she is massively better morally, physically and mentally than anyone else in the show lololol.

Interesting! 👍

What name this movie??

Movie name

😂😂 right believable casting. Markie mark as a professor and Brie Larson is a genius 😂😂😂😂

Reminds me of how everyone called Thomas Aquinas the “dumb ox” bc he was quiet, until a paper he wrote for fun was discovered by a professor.

Title of this movie

Brie Larson let that last line go to her head 💯

I was one year when I could read though
