Does Anyone Think Hart Is.....
difficult to take by the end of the film? How can anyone be so blindly adoring of another human being? His obsession with Kingsfield borders on the bizarre.
First, when he is above the stacks and finds Kingsfield's notes, he begins to really get weird. It's as if Kingsfield's writings are some holy code explaining the meaning of life itself. ("Oh, how cute....he doodled in class!)
Then, in the football stadium, I always laugh out loud when he yells "I AM HAVING A TRUE SOCRATIC EXPERIENCE!!"..... as if he deserves some kind of award. I always think..."dude, I'm happy for you, but no one cares".
Even his girlfriend gets sick of hearing him wax poetic about old PK.
I know he finally "breaks free" at the end....and he seems to treat others well...but does anyone else think Hart's idolatrous fixation on Kingsfield---which is prevalent in about 98 per cent of the film--is a little strange? After all, Kingsfield is not God....he's a human being, just like anyone else.
PS--Speaking of Kingsfield.....talk about a guy that needs to loosen up!
