This became all a more meaningful movie because of my experiences at IIM Lucknow। I like to call this place a "Glorified jail" .
Anyways this is one of the most powerful performances given by Robin Williams। Its a pity that I did not hear about this movie earlier. Ethan Hawke looks like a kid n in fact he is a kid considering the year this movie was made.It explorers an extremely different relationship that a teacher shares with his students.
One of the scenes where Robin The Teacher brings out the best in Ethan Hawke - one of the most shy students of the class - to bring out lines of importance (read POEM) is truly mind boggling.All his methods were questionable according to conventional methods but he never cared. He knew that he had a class to teach and the best way to do that is to involve all his students(interested or uninterested).
But the SYSTEM is supreme and You have to fall in line or otherwise YOU will be forced to fall in line. Luckily this was not the case with Williams until an unfortunate incident took place and The Sys got its chance.Believe me it will be one of the eye openers of your life. It will give you courage to question the set standards. An opportunity to Free Will n Free think otherwise one more reason to submit and die while you r alive.Watch and let ur spirit fly!!!!!!
