茶馆人气旺,大虾也多.看谁能帮帮忙.
电影主要描写做为教师所应该具备的优秀品质. 男主角是一所中学的历史教师,为人正派耿直,对所有学生不偏不倚.
这个学校似乎有一个传统,就是在每年举办一次关于历史知识的PK. 学生中有一位老爸是学校董事之一的男生,家境优越,而且比较有野心.在一次年届历史PK中,跟另外一位印度裔的男生最后争夺冠军. 在明知自己所学不及对方的情况下,这小子采用了作弊的手段.将一张张写有密密麻麻历史内容的纸片,贴在学袍的内侧,以便不时之需.
自以为作弊手段高明的该男生,在PK激烈进行中,终于被坐在观众席上观战的男主人公也就是历史老师发现了端倪.历史老师没有因为该男生的父亲是学校董事之一就对此行为采取纵容态度.他告发了该男生,并且建议该学校的大学本部慎重考虑是否允许该男生入学.
该男生最终被判PK失败,印度裔的学生获得胜利.但历史老师也遭到了报复,被迫离开学校(亦或是退居二线?)
事情并没有结束,几十年后,在家尽享悠闲的历史老师某天忽然接到一封请柬.原来是当年的那个作弊男生如今已称为一有钱有势的人物,但他对于当年那次令他蒙羞的失败深感耻辱,这些年来一直耿耿于怀.因此,他将在近期于自己的公馆内再次举办一次类似当年的历史PK. 而受邀者包括历史老师在内,还有当年的获胜者,以及大部分当年的观众.
历史老师乘坐该男生特派的直升机空降到一座富丽堂皇的行宫.该男生现在已明显是一副成功人士的派头.热切地与自己当年的同窗和老师打招呼.历史老师一时也被气氛感染,还在欢迎宴会上发表了一番慷慨陈词地演讲.
在该男生庄园中潇洒过后,历史PK上演.参战双方依然是该男生和印度裔学生.包括历史老师在内的所有人都饶有兴趣地坐在台下观战.看得出该男生为了这一次多年后的PK确实下足了功夫,在二人抢答过程中是对答如流成竹在胸.PK进行得既热烈又紧张.
但在一霎那,历史老师突然发现了一个细节,该男生耳朵边上的一根电线.顺着该男生似是有意无意的目光寻去,发现在大厅的一个角落,有一个人同样身披电子装置,在不断地发送语言提示.
一切都恍然大悟,几十年来,这个男生喜欢作弊的习惯分毫未改.
历史老师仍然是那么地正直无私,他起身提了一个做为本次PK的最后问题:你们谁能答出当年我们教室门廊上的那条名人语录? 谁就是今天的赢家.
做为当年并不用功学习的学生,该男生瞠目结舌,而那个坐在角落里发送提示的家伙自然是更不会知道.而包括印度裔学生在内的很多人几乎是对这条名言此烂熟于心.
于是该男生在几十年后的PK中再一次地不体面地败北.
PK结束后,在洗手间里,历史老师跟该男生狭路相逢,该男生撕下了一直绷着的伪装,用很多轻佻的言论报复老师,一改之前尊师重教的面目."你确实是一个很正直的人,但有什么用呢? 看到没有?现在客厅里面坐着的那些人,都在有求于我"
老师则用不失风度和自尊的话语回敬该男生后走出洗手间,该男生出了口恶气的同时震惊地发现自己的小儿子从另一头的小隔间走出来,默默地注视着自己,眼中充满复杂的内容.
2004年左右在电视上看过这部电影后,我认为这是好莱坞人文电影中一部非常优秀的代表作品.叙事风格明确,人物刻画准确,气氛烘托地恰到好处.只是无奈当时看的时候就是从中间插着看的,电视画面也没有显示电影的名字,而一直到现在我也没有再看到这部影片.
如果有哪位博闻强记的大虾指点,本人不胜感激!茶馆人气旺,大虾也多.看谁能帮帮忙.

没看过这部电影，但是楼主的讲述已经引起了我的兴趣，到时候知道了名字，我去电驴上下载来看看
LZ还记不记的里头有那些演员或者电影发行公司呢？要是确定了演员或者电影发行公司的话就好找多了，看你的描述这部片子好像是一部低成本的影片
我也对这部电影发生了兴趣，留个名，等有答案了去电骡上下个看看
楼主可以多提供一些信息，比如主要角色姓名、学校名字、地名等等
这个要碰运气了，很多小成本电影是蛮难找的
这个要碰运气了，很多小成本电影是蛮难找的
倒霉就倒霉在当时没有记住任何一个演员的名字,毕竟当时对好莱坞各方面还不怎么通透.男主角外形略象 哈里森福特
这片子应该不算是商业片,成本不会太大,但也不太可能很小.因为是在地方台的 "每日佳片" 中播的.

额虽收有几百部DVD，可印象中没看过这个。[:a6:] 如果地方台放过，那可上这个台的网站查一下啊！:o
略象 哈里森福特?难道是梅尔·吉布森？
汤姆●李琼斯？？？

Plot
William Hundert (Kevin Kline) is a passionate and principled Classics professor enthusiastic about the start of the school year. His class turns out to be a strict yet inspiring lesson for the new students arriving at St. Benedict's Academy. It is here we are introduced to the party-minded Louis Masoudi (Jesse Eisenberg), the introverted Martin Blythe (Paul Dano), and the studious Deepak Mehta (Rishi Mehta), all highly intelligent. He inspires them to study hard in order to become one of the three contestants for The Emperor's Club and be crowned "Mr. Julius Caesar", a competition which pits the top three students of his class in a contest where they will be asked questions regarding the Classics. Blythe mentions that his father was once a "Mr. Julius Caesar".
Hundert quickly gains the respect of his class and the school year gets off to an orderly start. However Hundert finds his tightly-controlled world shaken when a new student, Sedgewick Bell (Emile Hirsch), walks into his classroom. Sedgewick Bell is the cocky son of a senior senator who possesses none of Hundert's principles. Initially, a fierce battle of wills takes place between Hundert and Bell. Bell's rebellious nature quickly makes him the interest of the class, as he not only is willing to talk back against Hundert, he also freely shares pornographic material and is willing to play hooky and travel to a nearby prep school for girls. Despite Blythe's constant pleas not to break rules, Masoudi and even studious Mehta find themselves enjoying their rebellious tendencies with Bell. Despite this, Hundert is able to humiliate Bell when he asks the class to list, in chronological order, all the Roman emperors. All the other students comply in perfect unison, effectively embarrassing Bell who has not studied the course material. Hundert also makes a trip to Washington, D.C. to meet with Bell's father, the senior Senator from West Virginia. Bell's father is clearly uninterested in his son's character development while at St. Benedict's, giving Hundert some insight into the younger Bell's prior upbringing. Hundert returns to St. Benedict's and finds that Sedgewick Bell has received a phone call from his father, the Senator, who reprimanded him for wasting his time (but not for performing poorly in class). Hundert and Sedgewick begin to develop a close student-teacher relationship as Hundert tries to become a mentor-figure to Bell in order to help change him into a better man. Bell proves to be a bright student and eventually his grades improve enormously. Bell eventually finishes in the top three in Hundert's competition that precedes the Emperor's Club contest, along with fellow classmates Masoudi and Mehta. Bell had actually earned his position at fourth place, until Hundert privately decided to raise his grade on the final essay after reviewing it again, thus moving him above Blythe. Hundert is caught between celebrating Bell's newfound success and feeling guilty when he sees a dejected Blythe sitting all by himself under a tree. This is especially important as it is a break from Hundert's stance on integrity.
The entire school watches the competition, as the three contestants are quizzed by Hundert. After many questions, the confident Masoudi is the first to make a mistake and he sits down. As the competition narrows down to Mehta and Bell, Hundert becomes increasingly suspicious of Bell raising his toga to his head to think. He then asks Bell a question not in the books: "Who was Hamilcar Barca?", knowing full well that the answer would not be on any materials used to cheat (It was not even in the curriculum) but knowing that Mehta would be able to answer it due to his extracurricular studies. Bell is stumped and Mehta is crowned Julius Caesar of The Emperor's Club. Afterwards, Bell openly admits to Hundert what Hundert had suspected earlier: that Bell cheated by placing notecards on the inside of his toga sleeve. It is revealed in the end, Bell couldn't take the pressure of losing, and like his father, tried everything he could to win it easily. Although Hundert does not reveal this information to anyone else, the trust he once had with Bell is broken. The next couple of scenes show the students graduating to higher grades before finally leaving St. Benedict's Academy. During this time, Hundert regrets not being able to influence Bell more.
Twenty-five years later, Hundert is denied his bid to become headmaster of the school by the board, who feel he doesn't have the ability to drum up financial donations for the school. Hundert immediately resigns. Later he receives an invitation for a class reunion and a chance to meet up with his students at an event (surprisingly) staged by Bell, who is now quite successful. Once reunited with his students, he is impressed that every one of his students from that fateful class had done well since their days at St. Bendict's and all had successful careers. It is also revealed that Hundert, ironically, is the key to gaining a large sum of money to be donated to the school under the circumstances that Hundert would host a "Mr. Julius Caesar" contest rematch between Bell and his fellow alumni Masoudi and Mehta. Before the match Bell talks to Hundert about how his influence had really changed his life and he hopes that he would be able to regain his dignity in the rematch. An enthusiastic Hundert agrees to host once again. And so the Emperor's Club contest is again played, albeit the crowd being the students and their respective family and friends. Masoudi quickly falls on the first question after talking on his cell phone and then declaring himself to be the next Julius Caesar, showing that despite his success, he has forgotten most of his Classics. Again the main competition is between Mehta (Rahul Khanna) and Bell as both still remember (or studied) their lessons from Hundert's class. Sadly, despite Hundert's belief that Bell has changed, he is able to perceive that Bell is cheating, this time through a man telling him answers from the book through an earpiece. Hundert poses another unofficial question, this one regarding the plaque over his door, regarding the identity of Shutruk-Nahhunte. Despite supportive shouts from his classmates that this one is easy and they all know this one, Bell again does not know the answer and loses to Mehta again. Once more, only Hundert is aware that Bell cheated. After the competition ends and Bell recongratulates Mehta as "Julius Caesar", Bell announces that he will be running for a seat in the U.S. Senate and stresses the importance of government funding of education. Hundert finally sees that Bell only used the event to drum up support for his campaign and to get financial backings from his old classmates.
Shortly after his announcement, Hundert and Bell run into each other in the bathroom, where Hundert confronts Bell about his immorality. Bell coldly goes on to tell Hundert that it does not matter that he cheated, as life is full of cheaters. Just then, Bell's son comes out of a stall with a shocked expression on his face, and Bell is left to face his son knowing that his father is a cheater. Hundert, realizing again that he has failed Bell, now recognizes the importance of letting Blythe know that he had given away Blythe's seat in the original "Mr. Julius Caesar" contest. Nonetheless, this confession, for Hundert, is not enough to keep him from feeling like a failure as a teacher.
The next day the Bell family smiles and says goodbye to the rest of the class as they are busy planning the campaign. Hundert wakes up the next morning and goes to the dining room expecting one last breakfast with his pupils. Instead he finds an empty room and that they have all left already, only leaving him a message that they wish him well. Hundert dejectedly walks back, only to discover that his former pupils had thrown him a surprise party. All his students except Bell are there including Masoudi, Mehta, and Blythe. The meeting is an exciting event as Hundert and his remaining students talk about how much he has influenced them and how they are grateful that he was their teacher. Hundert finally comes to the realization that while he wasn't able to turn Bell into a better man, he still has influenced a great many of his pupils and he should continue teaching.
Hundert thus returns to St. Benedict's Academy and again teaches Classics to a new class (which is now co-ed). It is also revealed that one of his students is Blythe's son, who is proud that his father was once Hundert's student. When Hundert looks outside his classroom window, he sees a smiling Blythe wave and walk away. He then asks Blythe's son to read the plaque over his door, just as young Blythe did at the beginning of the film.

Just then, Bell's son comes out of a stall with a shocked expression on his face, and Bell is left to face his son knowing that his father is a cheater. Hundert, realizing again that he has failed Bell, now recognizes the importance of letting Blythe know that he had given away Blythe's seat in the original "Mr. Julius Caesar" contest. Nonetheless, this confession, for Hundert, is not enough to keep him from feeling like a failure as a teacher.
The next day the Bell family smiles and says goodbye to the rest of the class as they are busy planning the campaign. Hundert wakes up the next morning and goes to the dining room expecting one last breakfast with his pupils. Instead he finds an empty room and that they have all left already, only leaving him a message that they wish him well. Hundert dejectedly walks back, only to discover that his former pupils had thrown him a surprise party. All his students except Bell are there including Masoudi, Mehta, and Blythe. The meeting is an exciting event as Hundert and his remaining students talk about how much he has influenced them and how they are grateful that he was their teacher. Hundert finally comes to the realization that while he wasn't able to turn Bell into a better man, he still has influenced a great many of his pupils and he should continue teaching.
Hundert thus returns to St. Benedict's Academy and again teaches Classics to a new class (which is now co-ed). It is also revealed that one of his students is Blythe's son, who is proud that his father was once Hundert's student. When Hundert looks outside his classroom window, he sees a smiling Blythe wave and walk away. He then asks Blythe's son to read the plaque over his door, just as young Blythe did at the beginning of the film.

索逮斯乃! 赞美楼上大能和互联网.............................楼上也看过这部片子?
Sadly, despite Hundert's belief that Bell has changed, he is able to perceive that Bell is cheating, this time through a man telling him answers from the book through an earpiece.
悲哀的是,尽管Hundert认为Bell已经洗心革面,但最终他还是发现Bell在进行作弊.这一次,是通过事先安排好的人利用耳机向其传送答案.
