The Emperor's Club (2002)
William Hundert is a passionate and principled Classics professor who finds his tightly-controlled world shaken and inexorably altered when a new student, Sedgewick Bell, walks into his classroom. What begins as a fierce battle of wills gives way to a close student-teacher relationship, but results in a life lesson for Hundert that will still haunt him a quarter of a century later.

This film is very old but İt is still impressive.I think so, I watched four times. William Hundert -Kevin Klein- is a teacher at prep school. This teacher have a different method for his student.Sedgewick Bell - Senator's son- come at school. There is a competition in the school tradition called Mr. Julius Caesar. Sedgewick, Martin, Louis and Deepack is the finalists. He - Sedgewick- does the trick and he lose competition. Twenty five years later,Sedgewick organizes a rematch while offering a large donation. Sedgewick does the trick again. Mr. Hundert does to notice.He was disappointed. In the beginning, Mr.Hundert thought 'Sedgewick changed' but he understood he didn't change because human's character never change.I hope so, We will have like this teacher.I hope so, some changes will of our lives.
And the beautiful girl by the lake! :) It Later Became a model! :) (Melissa Brown) http://www.kimdawsonagency.com/models/women/all/2756At least 10 lines to speak and also in English? This is why it anyway? Is asking me for the first time in my life such a thing ... OK ... :( But I liked the film, one of my favorite form! 10.10! A bit like the Dead Poets similar productions by companies, it became shockingly great development of both the story and the actors shaping and excellent Camera work. In this case, I'm just really proud to be Hungarian I was born because of Lajos Koltai's cinematography work.35/Male
This was one the best movies I saw in a long time.I purchased on DVD and was surprised. I thought it was going to be a version of Goodbye Mister Chips or Dead Poets Society, but the movie has an unexpected twist at the end and lesson that we all can learn from. It almost reminded my of Shawshank Redemption when a new prisoner arrived at Shawshank, in Emerpors Club a new student arrives and nothing will ever be the same but the teacher Kevin Kline or his stufents. Now I have a reason why we learned about the Roman Enpire and why it is important learn. I will watch it again soon and recommend it to co-workers. Well done and great acting.
