This is a typical film that explores "If a person's achievement is high, can he be allowed to have moral defects?" But at the same time it is a movie about a crisis of trust. The fictional illusion is too perfect. When it is broken, people don't even want to believe in reality. #Hugh Jackman# The principal of the private school, Frank, is a very charming and accomplished person. In the first half of the movie, he is basically a beautiful character loved by his family. However, following a school newspaper reporter's investigation of school expenditures and the exposure of one of his employees who had accepted bribes, Frank and his staff's misappropriation of public funds for a long time was finally revealed. Even with the fermentation of the incident, we discovered that a lot of this person's information was a lie. It's just that while the story shows that his career was damaged because of this, we still see how he uses his achievements, charm, and power to try to conceal everything. And the most amazing thing is that he doesn’t seem nervous or mad at all, as if he is still the winner, or, because he has lied for too long, he doesn’t know which one is reality, and would rather continue to live in lies. . It is not the first time that Uncle Hugh has appeared in this kind of charismatic but flawed person, and it has been proved that he is very suitable for this kind of role. When people see him, they will be impressed by his charm immediately, even if there are moral flaws later. I can't hate it at all. For example, the presidential candidate in "The Front Runner" or the circus manager in "The Greatest Showman". The principal in this film is more confusing. Basically, before the turning point of the film, there is no way to make people believe that his essence is so different from what it seems. Especially in front of students and parents, it can be said that he has never shown his feet. I feel that if Uncle Hugh continues this route in the future, he can act as more scandalous politicians or leaders. Although this story is adapted from real events, many details are still surprising. Almost no one has checked such a large amount of expenditure for many years, and many addresses and phone numbers are fake. No one doubts that these educators live such a luxurious life. Even the character of Uncle Hugh keeps saying that he has a dead wife, and no one even doubts it. If it weren't for the accidental "disclosure" by one's own person, everything may be kept secret for a long time. Everyone Frank knew thought they knew him well, but as a result, no one knew the truth about him. Life is really like a play, and he himself has lived in the play too long, he may have forgotten his true identity, let alone other people. Although it may seem ordinary and low-key, it is a very magical story that is worth seeing.
