COCA COLA


NEVER DRINK COCA COLA WHILE EATING MENTOS.

The Emperor's Club


Today we watched a movie called The Emperor's Club.

William Hundertis a assistant headmaster at St. Benedicts who teaches students lessons about life from his Greek and Roman classics. Hundert believes it his duty to mold and shape the young men he teaches until a student joins his class that challenges his methods. Sedgewick Bells the son of a well-known Senator who causes problems in his classes, introduces his fellow students to porn magazines, commandeers secret outings to a girl's school and ultimately causes Hundert to re-evaluate his teaching methods. Bell challenges Hundert in a way no other student ever has and Hundert equally challenges Bell by getting him to enter a contest that tests the abilities and brains of the few who make the best grades. When Hundert selects Bell to be in the famous "Emperor's Club" (a competition between students who've earned the highest grades), he's surprised by an event that jostles his faith in the school and forever changes Hundert's view of his world and perhaps more importantly, his own choices and character. Twenty years later when Bell and his classmates are grown and have careers and families of their own, Hundert is called to judge a "rematch" of the "Emperor's Club". Once again Hundert is confronted with the past and haunted by a decision he made, but he is also rewarded with getting a firsthand look at how his investment in each of the young men he "molded", paid off in the grown men they became.
