I liked the part where
he knocked off the giant.

1:11:03
Who cares? The whole thing here's
a phony.

1:11:07
- You think Jack should've killed the giant?
- Yeah. He was chasing him.

1:11:11
If somebody stole from you,
wouldn't you chase him?

1:11:14
The way I got it figured,
this Jack, he's a square.

1:11:16
First off, he don't care
if his old lady starves to death.

1:11:20
Then he sells the cow
for a handful of beans.

1:11:22
- Then he turned burglar.
- Then he commit murder.

1:11:25
- And for all of this, he gets a reward.
- He's rich.

1:11:27
- He marries a princess.
- You know why?

1:11:30
Because he took what he wanted.
Crime always pays.

1:11:32
- But it was a crime.
- So what?

1:11:34
- It was only some giant.
- Why don't you like the giant?

1:11:37
- Because he's a giant.
- You're a Dodger fan.

1:11:40
No kidding, fellas. I mean, you don't like
the giant because he's different.

1:11:44
- That's right.
- But is that right?

1:11:46
I mean, is it right to dislike somebody
because he's different?

1:11:49
I mean, there's a lot of us here
in this classroom who are different.

1:11:53
If the story's so cockeyed,
what's the point?

1:11:55
Now we're getting somewhere.
1:11:57
All your lives, you're gonna hear stories,
what some guy tells you...

1:12:00
...what you see in books, magazines.
What you read in the newspapers.

1:12:04
But if you can just examine the story...
1:12:06
...look for the real meaning...
1:12:08
...and most of all, just learn
to think for yourselves...

1:12:11
Here it comes.
Here comes the commercial.

1:12:15
That giant, if he done wrong...
1:12:19
...least I think he should've had a trial.
1:12:22
- Teach, how about some more stories?
- Yeah, a story about football.

1:12:25
Hey, teach. Maybe I'll turn out to be
a critic on the movies.

1:12:29
How did you like Jack and the Beanstalk?
Turned out to be a thief.

1:12:32
I liked the story.
1:12:38
- So you finally got through to them.
- I think so.

1:12:41
Yes. For once, for the first time.
1:12:43
What's the answer?
Visual education?

1:12:45
Yeah, partly. If you
just get them stimulated...

1:12:48
They'll go for movies, but will that
teach them to read?

1:12:51
No, but if you can get them to use
their imagination, to reach out.

1:12:54
But certainly not knowledge.
1:12:57
If they use their intelligence,
get their minds out of comic books...
