Is it true not to tell the truth? Unity and decay?

The most exciting part of the movie is the final debate. The male protagonist did not betray his "friend" in the end, and finally became a hero. But is this really good in real life? Let's see what his classmates have done, and such excessive things will not be punished, okay? Looking at their attitude towards the male protagonist, are they really friends?

I feel like the main line idea of ​​the film was problematic from the very beginning. Of course, according to Frank's words, it is true that Simon did not betray others, he is very honorable. But what about events? The students teased the principal, and still in such an outrageous way. Those students who use their money to play pranks without fear, should they really be sheltered?

Let's look at society again. How many sun exposure, exposed crimes are not exposed in court? Because no one is reporting. The film forcibly confuses whistleblower and whistleblower, making whistleblower as shameful and lowly as whistleblower.

Is it because you're not the headmaster who was teased, you don't think it's a big deal? But if one day you are bullied by others and you become that principal, you will defend your rights and seek justice for yourself. But you found that no one came forward, no one testified. Those bad people will always have a wider network than you, and officials will protect each other. You shout alone and no one responds to you. In fact, everyone knows it, but everyone doesn't want to tell the truth, and they don't want to be that traitor.

So, you're telling me that "disclosing" a crime is also a lowly act of "selling out a friend"? You want me to applaud? You tell me to protect those who are punished, and make it just and honorable for those who have been unfairly and humiliated?

Go to your fucking soul.

Scent of a Woman quotes

  • Lt. Col. Frank Slade: Out of order, I show you out of order. You don't know what out of order is, Mr. Trask. I'd show you, but I'm too old, I'm too tired, I'm too fuckin' blind. If I were the man I was five years ago, I'd take a FLAMETHROWER to this place! Out of order? Who the hell do you think you're talkin' to? I've been around, you know? There was a time I could see. And I have seen. Boys like these, younger than these, their arms torn out, their legs ripped off. But there isn't nothin' like the sight of an amputated spirit. There is no prosthetic for that. You think you're merely sending this splendid foot soldier back home to Oregon with his tail between his legs, but I say you are... executin' his soul! And why? Because he's not a Bairdman. Bairdmen. You hurt this boy, you're gonna be Baird bums, the lot of ya. And Harry, Jimmy, Trent, wherever you are out there, FUCK YOU TOO!

  • Lt. Col. Frank Slade: Tickets. Money. Speech. Old Washington joke... from my days with Lyndon.
