I've seen it before, but the second time I watched it, I noticed that the weak and erring heroine in this film was played by Cate Blanchett. Think maybe she embodies people's deep-seated desires, repressed for some reason, intended to unleash this eccentric desire by grasping at someone else's weakness. A good film may not reveal one level. The heroine played by cate is beautiful and outstanding, but she can be locked in by a mediocre family life. On the surface, she loves her husband, family and children, but she can't stand the temptation of a young student. It's easy to risk an affair with a 15-year-old student.

Notes on a Scandal quotes

  • [Barbara's first impressions of Sheba as she watches her in the playground]

    Barbara Covett: [voiceover] Hard to read the wispy novice. Is she a sphinx or simply stupid? Artfully dishevelled today. The tweedy tramp coat is an abhorrence. It seems to say "I'm just like you." But clearly she's not. A fey person, I suspect.

  • [Barbara's opinion of her male pupils]

    Barbara Covett: [to Sheba] Little towers of testosterone. You'll soon get used to them.
