so I clicked on the button where it says "subscribed" and nothing happened. I don’t understand how I’m supposed to watch it from here. I don’t want to pay a second time to go watch it from the website.

Hi Liz. Sorry for the confusion. It shows you as a subscriber. Does this link work for you? https://thelastclass.substack.com/p/watch-the-movie-the-last-class

Thanks-- I finally figured it out!

Elliot Kirschner's avatar

I'm so glad. And thank you for your support. I would love to hear what you think of the film. As filmmakers, we put work out into the world very curious how others see it.

It was actually very different from what I expected. I think I expected to view the last class *session* as opposed to the last class meaning "group of people" to attend his class. I found the film interesting and engaging, especially the more personal aspects that he shared (the bullying! Michael Schwerner! 😥) but in the end I did not find it particularly hopeful or an “antidote to despair.” I was hoping we would get some very clear message about how we can get ourselves out of this horrendous crap we’re in. But I know there’s no one who is going to give us one fail-proof answer to that problem.

Thank you Liz for the honest feedback. One way I think we can get ourselves out of this horrendous crap is through educating and inspiring the young people who have no choice but to inherit this mess. To see how they responded to Prof Reich's message gives me hope.

I’m glad. The more of us who feel hopeful, the better— I guess… I think we need a generation of AOC’s.

Wow! I'm going to wait to rent, till I can share with expat friends, here in Norway. (Right now in rehab after knee replacement surgery, the other oldies here are more interested in seeing how Norway will do tomorrow night in Eurovision Song Contest, lol).

So pleased you are able to make this available to people, no matter where on the 🌎🌍 planet.

Thank you!

(While many on the staff are immigrants from all over, a fact Trump would hate, I seem to be the only foreigner presently admitted).

My God! This film is simply so lovely!

I'm surprised over how the film has a very great warmth, added on top of the human approach of mr Reich. The cutting is very skilled. I'm going to watch this film many times, to get the narrative and to get inspired by the laughter and connection between people shown.

Mr Reich has a kind of way of treating people like equals. That quality in him, and in the movie itself, really touches me in a way I was not prepared for.

Thank you, guys!

Thank you, Jakob. We’re so glad you enjoyed both the craft and the message of the film.

We’re now working to spread the word about The Last Class through word of mouth. So if you know others who might enjoy it, we’d be grateful if you shared it with them now that it’s available to watch.

Thank you for making it possible to watch the film abroad as well. I never stopped believing it would happen.

Now I’m hoping that Act Blue won’t prove to be an obstacle again.

I paid for viewing for 30 days, but can’t figure out how to see it. Now what?

I've now PAID for watching the movie, but I can't find a way to watch it.

Please, tell me how to work this, how to make i possible to watch it.

Sincerely,
