I would never of watched this if I had known it was a movie that was about a Christian boys school that was shown in an extremely negative light. The priests who live and teach at the Christian school constantly drink and say they are unhappy because their bodies are craving sex. The boys seem happy enough to me until there's a scene where some of the boys secretly meet to undress and flog each other. They gang up & try to kidnap an unwilling boy to force him to their meeting and a priest catches them. The boys are expelled and sent home. The next day the Priests stand around drinking and say its proof that the school is too strict with too many rules. The movie has far too many scenes of the Priests in some sort of teachers lunchroom between classes drinking and saying how much they hate their life because they can't have sex. One Priest kept telling the other Priests throughout the whole movie that the strict rules the boys were under at the school to not masturbate or have sex before marriage were too strict. There was far too much emphasis placed on masturbation. Boys in confession about their masurbating. Priests having talks with the boys about the sin of masturbation. Priests watch the boys in the bathrooms to make sure they don't get fully naked in the shower. I don't think this is really how it is at Christian schools. There is a boy at the school who is struggling and he goes off by himself a lot to pray & yells for God to answer him or show himself. A Priest takes him aside and tells him that life is too short and if the church makes him unhappy he should just ignore the rules and do what he wants. I think that's unrealistic. The movie ends with that boy running away from the school and hitchhiking. A car pulls over he gets in and its a couple of his teachers. The priests say they are on their way to a show (it doesn't say what kind of show) and does he want to come with them? So there's no urgency to get him back or to ask what was wrong. They don't offer to listen to him & I think it's odd they don't once mention God. The ending has a dark tone. When the boy says he would like to go with them to the show they all smile & the credits start rolling. It's the end of the movie! It's implied that they are going to further corrupt him. Very sinister. As a Christian I do not recommend this movie.
They hated their life. Talked about.
