[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really enjoyed it too.

Agree with pp that Paul Giamati's character seemed over the top harsh on the head master.[/quote]

OP - yeah that was the only piece that did not make sense - all the other plot developments were like peeling off layers off an onion to get to the pearly inside …

PG is such a brilliant actor and somehow made us root for his character’s despite his looks, personality, and often, his lines … [/quote]

And smelling like fish!

He hated the headmaster for a few reasons, I think:

- The headmaster had been his student, and not a very good one
- He thought the headmaster was too concerned with money and power, and not enough with integrity and knowledge
- He resents all the rich, socially smooth people (who don't smell like fish) who he thinks always get whatever they want while he has to struggle for everything[/quote]

Ok that makes sense - thank you! I thought the head master gave him a second chance when others would not though?  …

Forgot about that unusual Medical condition that caused him to smell like fish.  Poor guy! I’d be tempted to turn to cheap whiskey or whatever with his bad luck as well.

The movie director had such a great eye for retro detail - felt like I was in New England in the 70s!

The main young actor was top notch also. Guess we will Be seeing more of him …
