    Very close similarities to Dead Poets Society. I love Kevin Kline's character, but the movie seems to drag out a bit towards the end.

    this is really an ethics learning class all by itself!! and it just wills it's themes into your life what do you do when no one is watching do you want anyone to know what is it what you do or no the make some changes and become a transparent person!!

Striving to inspire his students to live rightly, he's the kind of impassioned Classics professor who believes the hist...( read more )ory of the Greeks and Romans is more than just a lesson about the past. He also believes the role of a teacher is not only to educate the pupil but to mold his character. But in the fall of 1972, Hundert finds his cloistered world of tradition and influence upended with the arrival of new freshmen Sedgewick Bell, the son of a West Virginia senator. Almost immediately, teacher and student become embroiled in a turbulent battle of wills with repercussions that would still be felt a quarter of a century later.

    it always feels good to watch this kind of movies, the kinds of dead poets society, from time to time.

    this is a great moral teaching film, and the characters are real esp. the fact that Sedgewick did not change his attitude as he grew older, it shows that not everyone will turn out to be the best person at heart. not only does it teach it's audience but it also has it's humourous sides esp. when we see the students of st.benedicts as kids, i thought jesse eisenbergs character was the funniest and he did it so well, all of the actors we're great. Kevin Kline did another outstanding job, and at first i found his character a but annoying but i soon realised it was because i found him uptight and Kline played him so well that you didn't feel the need to love the character or sympathize with him.
