本片获1990年奥斯卡最佳原创剧本奖。威尔顿贵族学校1959年度开学典礼暨建校100周年庆典正隆重举行。校长诺伦博士骄傲地回顾着学校的辉煌,为学校100年来始终坚持“传统、荣誉、纪律、卓越”四大信条,并因此成为美国最好的大学预备学校而骄傲。沉闷的氛围、陈腐的说教,让威尔顿的大男孩们倍感压抑。同学们私下里咒骂威尔顿是地狱学校,且篡改四大信条以示嘲弄。也就在这一天,威尔顿的荣誉毕业生、从伦敦回来的约翰·基廷回校出任英文教师。他与众不同、离经叛道的上课方式,立刻在同学们中掀起波澜。
This film won the 1990 Oscar Best Original Screenplay Award. The Wilton Noble School 1959 opening ceremony and the 100th anniversary celebration were held. The President, Dr. Norn, proudly recalled the glory of the school and was proud of the school’s four precepts of “tradition, honor, discipline, and excellence” for the past 100 years and has thus become America’s best college preparatory school. The dull atmosphere and stereotyped preaching made Wilton’s big boys feel depressed. The students privately cursed Wilton to be a hell school and tampered with the four creeds to show ridicule. It was also on this day that Wilton’s honorary graduate and John Keating, who came back from London, returned to the school as an English teacher. His unique and deviant manner of class immediately ignited waves among classmates.
