The Emperor's Club

William Hundert is a passionate and principled Classics professor who finds his tightly-controlled world shaken and inexorably altered when a new student, Sedgewick Bell, walks into his classroom. What begins as a fierce battle of wills gives way to a close student-teacher relationship, but results in a life lesson for Hundert that will still haunt him a quarter of a century later.

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

And the beautiful girl by the lake! :) It Later Became a model! :) (Melissa Brown) http://www.kimdawsonagency.com/models/women/all/2756At least 10 lines to speak and also in English? This is why it anyway? Is asking me for the first time in my life such a thing ... OK ... :( But I liked the film, one of my favorite form! 10.10! A bit like the Dead Poets similar productions by companies, it became shockingly great development of both the story and the actors shaping and excellent Camera work. In this case, I'm just really proud to be Hungarian I was born because of Lajos Koltai's cinematography work.35/Male

a film like reflection support. about the role of teacher, about the roots of knowledge and its purpose, about the beauty of self definition, about the mask and the truth. in fact, about the metamorphose of teenagers and the courage to be yourself. Kevin Kline does a great work and that is the central point. and his performance is admirable first for the art to not be the clone of other teacher - characters.yes, The Emperor's Club is not version of Dead Poets Society and Mr. Hundert is far to be Mr. Keating. or Mr. Chipping. it is a different level, maybe, a different way. and this detail does this film real special. because the school is more than laboratory. it could be, it must be the spine of existence values.

I've now seen this film twice and on the second viewing got even more out of its storyline.Although not a difficult concept to reckon with - to choose between honesty and deceitfulness - this movie successfully forces you to ask just why it's wrong to cheat your way to the top - if you can get away with it that is.We all know that cheating is wrong - but why? Fair play is what life is all about, playing to the rules and giving everyone an equal chance.In effect, this film teaches us nothing we don't know already about lies, truth, honesty and deceit but it does make you ask why these things remain fundamentally important.It's probably a film that everyone watching will get something different out of. From the idea that here's nothing I didn't know before to the idea that cheating doesn't matter if it doesn't hurt anyone - which is the real measure.The fact that a teacher (Kevin Klein) decides to encourage a failing student (Emile Hirsch) by improving his score - at the expense of an already successful pupil - is a clear case of 'morally-correct cheating' - much like Robin Hood redistributing the wealth from those who have too much to those who have too little (although he was a bit more blatant about it).Ultimately though, this action fails everyone - including Klein's character.There is a glimmer of hope amongst the ashes at the end of the film - an act of forgiveness which seals the overall lesson being taught by the movie.It's a feel-good-feel-bad film and one which is definitely worth viewing. The acting is consistent and, for me, the best aspect of the entire movie is the soundtrack, which compliments the mood and the action perfectly - one of the most intelligent film scores around.
