FREEDOM OF RELIGION?
|
| This is a very fine movie,well acted, once one clears the initial premise:imagine a strict Catholic Prep School of the 1950's admitting anyone who wasn't Catholic regardless of his football prowess.Once past that hurdle, it's clear sailing for the viewer.Fraser,as expected, lives up to his reputation on the field and in the classroom, and also steals Damon's girlfriend. Damon comes from a long line of Harvard graduates,and in succession is forced to play "second fiddle" to Fraser on the field, in the social scene,in class popularity.Enter bigotry, exit Fraser's school standing. Only late in the movie is his Judaic background exposed, leaving him the scapegoat in a cheating scandal,facing expulsion. Only at the very end is Damon's virulent bigotry revealed, and Damon's true role in the scandal is exposed. Immediate expulsion follows. But, one is left with the clear distinction that the remainder of Fraser's Senior year, if not his entire life,will be forever changed, and not for the better. |
