Comparisons to Dead Poets Society are inevitable, but The Emperor's Club achieves a rich identity all its own. In the honorable tradition of great teacher dramas like Goodbye, Mr. Chips, Kevin Kline is well cast as Mr. Hundert, longtime teacher of classics and assistant headmaster of St. Benedict's Academy for Boys. There he encounters a defiant student and senator's son (Emile Hirsch) who desperately needs--but ultimately rejects--Hundert's lessons on leadership, integrity, and the shaping of character. Adapted from Ethan Canin's short story "The Palace Thief," the film is conventional to a fault, its flashback structure unfolding in Hollywood shorthand. But its noble sentiments remain potently intact, allowing Kline a performance of great emotional nuance while imparting lessons of universal value. "This is a story with no surprises," as Hundert says, but The Emperor's Club may surprise you with its admirable portrait of a life well lived. --Jeff Shannon

Although there are some holes in the script, I love this movie. The performance by the flat-bellied Kevin Kline, a fastidiously erudite teacher at St. Benedict's boarding school of high repute is a memorable one indeed. I teach at a school resembling this, although not of such an elitist brand.
(Did he always need to wear suspenders, rather than a belt?)
First the drawbacks. The professor of ancient history would be the very last to spot technological gadgetry. But here ... Read More

Truely, an inspired movie and performance for all to benefit from. What all instructors aspired to be when they first entered the art and profession of teaching others. Repleat with the joy and heartaches found in adolescence through adulthood. Kevine Kline reveals the drama, humor, agony and joy of why many become disillusioned yet remain, in this timeless classic.

Mr. Hundert (Kevin Kline) desires to inspire his students at Saint Benedicts School for Boys with knowledge and appreciation of Ancient Roman History while teaching them the moral character and values necessary to be American leaders in the future. Ex: "It is not living that is important but living rightly. How will history judge you?" and "All of us are forced to look in the mirror and see who we really are."
However, Mr. Hundert's patience is stretched when Sedgewick Bell (Emile Hirsch) ... Read More

The '02 cinematic release `The Emperor's Club' is a gentle, intelligent and at times profound morality tale that teaches us the importance of understanding the past so we may fully embrace the present and contribute to the future.
Kevin Kline is superb as Mr. Hundert, instructor of Roman and Greek History. As he strives to instill within the students of St. Benedict's Boy School the importance of the past and the need for everyone to strive to the best of their ability to make a lasting contribution ... Read More

It is an interesting movie, because the questions it poses haunts you:
can one really take the professor seriously? How important is it to always do the correct thing, no matter what?
I personally feel that the professor has an exaggerated outlook on life, that life is after all a game too and therefore it has to be fun too. But there is no doubt that the characteristics displayed by the people that built Rome was of profound importance for the Roman empire and that to emulate such great achievements, ... Read More
