IT Could Happen To You

I seldom blog here but would love to blogpost something when I see some movies worth watching and worthy of review, just my own opinion about the story and cast of characters. Recently, I watched a movie of Kevin Kline, in his portrayal as a teacher in a highly respected institution known as Saint Benedict's school for boys. It was an old school, very traditional conservative way of teaching is implemented. Kevin the teacher has taught so many vital information in his class including the list of emperors during the Roman Empire. Well the story has something to do with "Emperors" right as it is the movie's title THE EMPEROR's CLUB. Then one day, a late comer arrived at his class and he was accepted by teacher. He seems arrogant yet so frank and answer to questions directly without wasting any time at all. Though the answers were actually incorrect and he becomes the light of the club > class sort of ice breaker. The point is that's not what conservative OLD SCHOOL is. The teacher likes him the very first time he met him at his class and it turned out that the boy was a son of a government official. Hmmm...sounds like a similar situation I encountered when I was in elementary school. Anyway, it's very interesting to know how the teacher able to set him free from the guilt of being responsible to the "conspiracy" as he later been relieved that the rest of the classmates of that boy conspired to that kind of  "legacy been started by old ancient emperors before." You know them all right? You can begin knowing them from the Holy Bible. Now who's the only living emperor? Do you know?

Lesson: No school will ever be built without the support of wealthy individuals who support or give donations to make education better and productive. (Really? Am I correct there? Or just trying to make things easier not to provoke?) Truth is the schools are built by public funding through the help of the government. Most of the schools in public are owned by government and fully funded. Though teachers cannot approve of that because of "small funding." As if not enough. Private schools are different, most of the funding are derived from loopholes or donations from rich people. Why rich people donate? Is that duty or obligation or they have conscience? Or because their sons and daughters attend that school? Or they are members of the club or stockholders? It's easy to find out. Knowledge is power...however >  Somebody's medal or certificate can be stolen or given to somebody else whose donation exceeds and can manipulate the outcome of every test or exams. In that particular movie which made me furious and sad for students who deserved the mark. However when the students also are "infected" to the conspiracy what can you do? They are PAID at least! Would you like to be out of place and be not paid at all? So the theme is they are already WORKING. They are paid to that conspiracy. Better than be a volunteer eh?


The point is it's a crying game for those who are really intelligent and or smart but don't have money to support their education. Shame! Shame!
