This movie gives you a lot to think about.
Lessons: A good lesson about how we shouldn't paint everyone with the same brush. All those 10 members if looked superficially are all the same: good education, got into oxford, rich, coming from prestigious families. Alistair Ryle however was very different from Miles. Completely different. While Alistair and the some of the others did all hold this anger towards the poor and how not all the world is not like them, Miles never shared these views. He even had a girlfriend who came from the middle class. While 'posh' is not always bad, this movie shows that 9 times out of 10 it is.
A good lesson also about how prestige should not be the only criteria when evaluating if to join something or not. You should not join something without knowing if you'll like it just because it is prestigious. But then again I guess how can you find out how something is without being in it. One should surround him or her self with people that you can count on, friends, nice people, people that have considerations for others, for their feeling. Not with people like those unscrupulous members of the club, no matter how prestigious that club might be. Not with people who would scapegoat you without a second thought to save themselves. It shows how disgusting people that think that money can buy everything can be. And the saddest part is that people like Alistair just like in this movie sometimes do end behind important desks no matter what.
Do they care about other people's feelings? This all you need to know about one person to get a hint with what you are dealing.
Another important thing-was Lauren rushing and judging Miles too quickly about what happened? Was she right to not even give him the chance to explain? Miles now was a reminder of what happened. Guilty or not guilty, how much of a role does it play when you can only forget what happened when you distance yourself away from everything reminding you about it. Sometimes in life you pay even when your not guilty.
Plausibility: I really loved the fact that at the end the actual guilty one was taken by the police even he probably won't get the punishment he deserved. How I did not find plausible however, is that in order to be part of this club you have to be one of the brightest. I just think that if you are one of the brightest you would not behave like those in the club.
