This is certainly not the worst movie I've ever seen but clearly not the best but it is a movie that makes me keep thinking about it after watching and that is uncommon.
There was one major thing I didn't like about it, the main character Terence Fletcher was a brute. He was a complete tyrant and spent a lot of time trying to justify his behavior. I sure hope nobody will ever agree with his abusive tactics that he smoothly rationalized. A good teacher is nuturing and encouraging, never pushing you to your limits with brutality and emotional abuse. He is a person that all people should stay clear of. The boy should not have taken the tainted apple being offered by the monster, allowing himself to be again in harms way. There was not enough reinforcement in the movie to point out that what Terence Fletcher did was evil and wrong. This would be a good discussion movie. There are just too many people in the world just like him and people need to be careful.
