Coach Carter (6/9) Movie CLIP - Our Deepest Fear (2005) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
The team recommits to improving their grades while Timo (Rick Gonzalez) eloquently expresses his thanks to Coach Carter (Samuel L. Jackson).

FILM DESCRIPTION:
The true-life story of a coach who tries to teach his players that there's more to life than basketball is brought to the screen in this sports drama. Ken Carter (Samuel L. Jackson) was once a star player on the Richmond High School basketball team in Richmond, CA, and years later, after establishing himself in publishing and marketing, he returns to the school and to the team as the new basketball coach. Carter quickly sees that his work is cut out for him -- the team is having an awful season, and their fights off the court are more decisive than their play on the court. While Carter wants to make the Richmond cagers into a winning team, he also wants a lot more -- to teach the boys to respect themselves and one another, and that they must excel in the classroom as well as in the gymnasium. Under Carter's guidance, the team turns their losing season around, with the state title a genuine possibility. However, when Carter learns that a number of his players have let their grade point averages slip below 2.3, as mandated in a contract he entered into with the students, he decides to lock the team out of the gym and send them into study hall until their marks improve. Carter's plan quickly becomes a subject of controversy among parents and team boosters, and their objections are soon picked up by the local news media, many of whom are not sympathetic to Carter's belief that his players must have goals beyond college ball or the NBA. Coach Carter also features Rob Brown and Rick Gonzalez as members of the team, and R&B diva Ashanti in her film debut as the girlfriend of one of Carter's players.

If I gave that inspirational speech in front of my team I'll just get mocked for the rest of my life.

[layonduff]

"You saved my life" is probably the best thing one could say to a good teacher

[kagomefan]

“I want to say thank you. You saved my life.”
Man, I got chills. Timo Cruz grew so much in this movie, and it proves here how important a strong father figure is in one’s life.

[TheOneKeyToLife]

Fun fact: Samuel once said in an interview after Timo’s speech and when the scene was ending he had to try his hardest to hold back real tears.

[Hysokaofficiel]

that "you saved my life" phrase gave me goosebumps

[James]

Man this speech never ceases to bring me close to tears.

[yaniyaj]

This movie is GOATed. Everyone focuses on the beginning part of this poem, but as I've gotten older, this part speaks more to me now than ever...

"Your playing small does not serve the world, there is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that OTHER people won't feel insecure around you."

[Stormertheboy]

Coach Carter is the perfect example of "Do not fear an army of lions led by sheep, Fear an army of sheep led by a lion"

[bobbyjensen]

Damn, the Movieclips tune at the end kills the moment though lol

[rck]

It's been almost 10 years and I keep coming back here to remind myself of the strength of this quote. Thank you Coach Carter for bringing this to my attention. You've lit my flame as a kid

[sulamccaskie]

Whoever plays cruz is an outstanding actor.

[luisvanegas]

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness
That most frightens us.
We ask ourselves
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
Your playing small
Does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine,
As children do.
We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us;
It's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.

[maitreyajinn]

This may be the realist scene in Hollywood history.

[alialhamedy]

One of the best movies i've ever seen.

[MarkSmithhhh]

The fact its a true story and this guy did really save lives is a beautiful thing

[pointofsidtetris]

This speech is very powerful. I’m 29 years old and was re-watching this movie on Netflix. This message resonates with me deeply and I did not grasp/understand it in my teenage years when I saw this movie. For many years I have played down my personality, charm, goals, intellect for acceptance. I’ve reached points in my professional life where lack of development in my personal life has held me back. The joy and shine we all carry derives from happiness; how you make other people feel around you. Finding peace and letting go of the hate we learned in the hood is not an easy task. In my earlier 20s I could argue that ‘hate’ is what fueled me to keep developing myself. Loving oneself and becoming the best version of yourself is a task more easily said than done. I yearn to be happy and the best version of myself.

[George_Jackson_]

Very deep.. Look into his eyes 👀 when Timo Cruz says "Sir I just wanna say thank you… you saved my life".

[strahinjagov]

Who's cutting onions around here?

[menethil]

Beautiful speech. He knew after hearing this speech, that he could go back and lead the Avengers and not have to worry about the neighborhood he grew up in.

[TheMMAConnect]

"As we let our lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
