Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2007)

This movie is sure a classic and it will stand the test of time. It's a story about rebellion against fossilized views. It's a story about the beauty of freedom. It a story about the struggle to find your own niche in society. It's a movie about loyalty, cowardice, prejudices, breaking the cast, leaving the coop. It's a movie with great actors, from Ethan Hawke (Todd Anderson) to Dylan Kusman (Richard Cameron). It's one of the best performances by that unbelievably versatile actor Robin Williams. It's simply a great movie. The plot is very well told, the photography is astounding in portraying the oppressive atmosphere of an ultraconservative private boarding school in New England (it looks like New England. Sorry if I'm wrong). It certainly a movie deserving a place in every movie-lover collection. A must see.
