Movies: Professor walking up and down the aisles, the entire class awake and engaged.
Reality: Professor standing at the board the entire lecture, writing incoherently and the students half-asleep.

Holy shit the acting of the pothead tennis genius is so good

This is why it's so important for kids to be exposed to a wide variety of hobbies, subjects and perspectives. True genius is rare. I think in 42 years I've met maybe 2 and neither of them were in fields of study or work where their aptitude would ever shine so other's would notice, not unless you knew them very well.

“ Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.” - Mozart

This video is a great example of difference between being either hard working or being prodigious with raw talent

Had a mini panic attack when each of those students was called out 😅

"What lies behind every controversy about Shakespeare is rage over the nature; an unequal distribution of talent. Rage that genius appears, where it appears, for no material reason at all."

I've always liked movies with a lecture scene. I guess it reminds me of my days in college and the professors in the movies tend to make some profound points.

Some People are way more GIFTED than others and No amount of wishing or practice will change that... VERY TRUE

[lohwentao]

I like this scene because it makes no sense.

[AussieManny]

Some very challenging dialogue in this scene.
I dig it.

[tamaashii]

"Genius is magic, if you don't have, you don't have it, No amount wishing will make it so!"
I wanna be a genius, and hell of a quote.

[sonnycusa]

Wow, gotta say that this is some of the best acting I have seen in any Wahlberg movie!

[anonymous-bdej]

The magic of this movie is that it’s sense are so minimal but says more then it displays

[frankjennings]

Allen Gannett debunks the myth of the "magical, unattainable genius" in his book, The Creative Curve. There are many actions and factors that go into the creation of a "genius". Natural-born talent is only one of them. That said, not just anyone can become a genius at anything. Like they say in Ratatouille, not everyone can become a great cook, but a great cook can come from anywhere.

It really feels like Mark plays the same character in every movie! This time he’s just not swearing

[mediterraneandiet]

Always felt this way about people who doubted that Shakespeare could have produced all his great works.

[spencer]

This is the most pretentious comment section in history😂😂😂 Everyone here is a genius and an artist.... Delusionally.

Classic Jung and Nietzsche oozing from this scene: Be gods, become what you are. Powerful.
