這是一部很有趣的電影
台灣沒有上映
我是今天中午無聊的亂轉頻道，轉到HBO時看到的
劇情簡介如下：
快高中畢業的巴特比面臨前所未有的升學壓力，他投出8封大學入學申請信，全軍覆沒，他簡直沒辦法對父母親交代，巴特比不是唯一一個陷入困境的學生，他的好幾個死黨全面臨著同樣的問題。
無法進入大學而逐漸黯淡的前途、父母「沒進大學人生便沒希望」的壓力、被夢中情人莫妮卡唾棄，這些都是巴比特的惡夢，巴特比和他的朋友，一群毫無經驗的高中生，在對「自由主義」一詞做出廣義解釋之後，他們突發奇想的仿造了一張入學通知，進而仿造了一間大學，順便做了網站，最後，乾脆一不做二不休的將一間被廢棄的精神病院改裝成南哈蒙理工學院，South Harmon Institute of Technology的校舍。 (XD)
以該大學的名義給自己發出錄取通知，藉此矇混父母和朋友們。誰知才剛剛把他們認為需要的一切都安排好之後，巴特比和他的朋友們發現自己的工作好像做得好過頭了——從各地趕來的好幾百個跟他們一樣，被無數大學拒絕的人們站在了「南哈蒙理工學院」的門口，要求加入這個總共只有一座二層小樓的大學。
面對著隔壁正規大學學生蔑視的眼光，巴特比和他的朋友們在這條造假的路上越走越遠，他們開始不斷地完善著這個大學的功能，同時與那些慕名而來的學習者相互鼓勵，共同成長，努力讓這座假冒的三流大學變成一座真正合格的大學……

很簡單也很典型的美國校園電影，
在看起來很簡單的故事架構下，卻處處有讓人驚喜發笑的KUSO(比如說他們的校名XD)。
是一部能讓大腦放鬆的小品電影，
但是卻又蘊含了許多對教育的省思與啟發。
這個社會是逐漸的異質化或同質化？
和別人/主流/體制不一樣，是否就不見容於這個群體？
學校是一個傳統的建立者或是創意的激發者？ 教育的本質是填鴨還是啟發？ 不依循傳統而走的創意，是否也能被尊重與肯定？
我很喜歡電影中的這幾段台詞
Bartleby Gaines:.....I'm an expert in rejection, and I can see it on your faces. And it's too bad that you judge us by the way we look and not by who we are. Just because you want us to be more like them when the truth is we're not like them. And I am damn proud of that fact. I mean, Harmon College and their 100 years of tradition. But tradition of what? Of hazing kids and humiliating anyone who's a bit different? Of putting so much pressure on kids they turn into these stress freaks and caffeine addicts.
Dean Van Horne: Your curriculum is a joke, and you, sir, are a criminal.
Bartleby Gaines: You know what? You're a criminal. 'Cause you rob these kids of their creativity and their passion. That's the real crime! Well, what about you parents? Did the system really work out for you? Did it teach you to follow your heart, or to just play it safe, roll over? What about you guys? Did you always want to be school administrators? Dr. Alexander, was that your dream? Or maybe no, maybe you wanted to be a poet. Maybe you wanted to be a magician or an artist. Maybe you just wanted to travel the world. ......But out of that desperation, something happened that was so amazing. Life was full of possibilities. ...... We don't need your approval to tell us that what we did was real. 'Cause there are so few truths in this world, that when you see one, you just know it. And I know that it is a truth that real learning took place at South Harmon. Whether you like it or not, it did. 'Cause you don't need teachers or classrooms or fancy highbrow traditions or money to really learn. You just need people with a desire to better themselves, and we got that by the shit at South Harmon. So you can go ahead, sign your forms, reject us and shoot us down, and do whatever you gotta do. It doesn't really matter at this point. Because we'll never stop learning, and we'll never stop growing, and we'll never forget the ideals what were instilled in us at our place. 'Cause we are SHIT heads now, and we'll be SHIT heads forever and nothing you say can do or stamp can take that away from us! So go!
這部電影真的很好笑！
