School is the epitome of society, I believe many people are familiar with this passage. But the dark comedy "Bad Education," directed by Cory Finley, makes the meaning even more intriguing. Based on the real-life almond altar scandal, Bad Education tells the story of the $11 million misappropriation of public funds by the director and deputy director of Education at New York's Roslyn high school, who ends up in jail. From the beginning of the film, cory chose to depict the unique charm of Frank Tassone, the core criminal figure, with the macro momentum and pattern of political films.
We see Tassone standing at the podium, as if a head of state were receiving the cheers of teachers and students. Mr Roslin is the sort of country he rules, with a clean executive office for cabinet meetings and a canny deputy commissioner, Pamela Gluckin, as prime minister. Tacong know that, as long as the school's graduation rate do the clothes, the board of directors will not interfere with his style.
"Bad Education" tells the simple story of a perfect empire, left behind by loneliness and greed, that has been wiped out overnight. Mr Roslyn's teachers and students call Mr Tassone "Pecksniff" (dickens's villain, a hypocrite who exploits others), and he does turn life into a fiction. Some readers see tasson as a con artist, others as a narcissistic educational wizard. But whatever the Angle of interpretation, the author may not know the real answer.
