The best movie ever. You guys just don`t get it

Different from the other cliches where the teacher changes
the bad guys in a moral sense, rather reaches them through
there own levl of life. ( Cesar states from recollection "
it's all I got" ) A rare show of emotion after the
depressed and spiritually dead teacher plays roulete.
Another aspect of the escape from the cliches is his
vigulante style, ( the substitute not realistic). Garfield
cuts of cesar's finger, showing more emotion of a teacher
gone too far, not a pretty atmosphere of simply leaving the
education system altogether. Garfield was driven too far,
like Michael Douglas in ' Falling Down ', the last scene of
the two dead bodys, teacher and gang banger, was known to
be coming yet still haunting. This was the real last scene,
not the graduation where everybody cries, very original.
And maybe the reason it got such poor ratings was the
haunting, confused state the viewer was left in. No happy
endings, teacher dead, "no matter how many of you I take
down" he just could not stop it. (quotes are from
recollection please do not use them as quotes in further
material for or against my opinion)
