this movie takes a very realistic approach to life instead of tackling social issues with an imaginative one as most motion pictures do, Seeing that status can easily replace and be rewarded more than hard work and effort despite those who take advantage of their power may look one day in a mirror and not like what they've become. It's a classic and a must watch alongside dead poets society.
its actually much better than Dead Poet's Society,its funny how people thought its copy because of little similarities and don't give it credit it deserves.
I watched this in social studies class last year and a kid fell asleep when we started it. When he woke up, he thought we were watching Dead Poets Society.
