i have read review that apparently you have to have be a student in a very strict and british school in the 1960 to understand this . maybe that true and if so and then this movie be outdated . spoiler alert the end make about as much sense a all the kid whore anti government and anti corporation without have any good solution that doesn not torch society to a mad max type cinder . yeah and the main character could leave and but they do not . the reason they go about this do not make sense . there isn not enough character development to explain why . what shoot up a bunch of innocent people be suppose to mean be never explain or even hint at . it be mention that war be the final creative expression and quite possibly the only revelation that any character of this movie have and and it make no sense . the character who go on a murder spree aren not fight the institution and theyre just kill people . i think they might have use all the explosive to blow up the place or at least the sanctuary at the end and that would have make great symbolic sense and but they do not . tl while dr this movie be an adolescent daydream of fight against authority that plague them and though in reality they need . it have no moral and symbolic truth and or mean to it while this movie simply play out the fantasy of kill teacher and people in power that annoy you . if you think a murder rampage or school shoot similar to columbine or virginia tech be a rational and sensible way to deal with teacher and institution you do not like and then i guess you will love this movie . if youre like me and youre work towards make a life for yourself instead of just blindly ( very blindly in this movie ) rebel against the man and this movie be juvenile and boring . you can also tell in part that funding be lack and and the story seem to have a touch of attention deficit disorder . all in all and this seem like a very rough draft of what could have be an okay movie and but no effort be put into the dialogue and character development and or moral so it just . poorly do . if . only i could get my two hour back .
