i get this out one wet sunday afternoon hop for an inspirational school drama along the line of to sir with love or dead poet society something to moisten my eye and make me think anything be possible . boy be i wrong this muddling drama and which cover the last day of an old master career at an english public school and be depress from begin to end . a each element of the master tragic life be reveal to me and i keep wonder when the turn around point would be . surely this entire movie be not just go to be the telling of the sad life of an uninteresting man and an ineffective teacher surely there would be some rise climax to contrast the woe . but no . for the final speech scene which i hung on for and the master turn out the most embarrassing self pity display i have ever see on film something like my grandfather when he have too many drink at christmas . of course and the teacher and student dutifully applaud and shout and stomp ( to indicate to the viewer that this be indeed the climax ) but i be just think he be an old fool . there be admittedly some nice insight into human behavior and relationship and some good english upper class mocking ( tea and cricket chap . ) but the other character never seem to develop a if to save room for the central story . unfortunately and the sad old teacher do not develop beyond self pity throughout the entire movie and leave me with the definite impression that he . get what he deserve and no more and certainly no less .
