This movie gives you so much to think about. Are parents really putting their children first when their property value is their top priority? Should protecting property value also be the school system's top priority? Frank sums up one great inequity himself when he points out that he's supposed to safeguard the property values of the wealthy on a teacher's salary. And, on a different subject, forcing people to deny who they really are only elevates their skills to deceive even those closest to them. Frank is as much a victim as he is a perpetrator He is a victim of a world that does not accept ALL of who he is, forcing him to shape his image to impress those around him so he can succeed. His skills of deception become so refined that he even foosl his spouse, who says, "You can't lie to me." In some ways, the world Frank creates says a great deal about the values of our modern day society -- success at any cost, refusing to see each other for who we are, and a selfish mentality of "I've got mine so I don't care about anyone else."
