In the drama, School Ties a young Jewish man is faced with concealing his religious identity in order to "fit in" at the extremely expensive private school that he has been awarded a football scholarship to. I enjoyed the first half of the movie, it was filled with laughs and good fun with all the boys at the school. Things were looking up for the young man but it all went south as soon as his classmates discovered who he really was. The fact that somebody could befriend someone and then totally betray them just because of their religion disgusts me, there were some scenes in the film that really got to me and made me quite upset. Although it does show people how real anti Semitism is in our world. In the society we live in people are raised to be an anti Semitist even if they are not meant to be. All in all I would have to say the film was alright but I think they could of used more explanation as to what happens at the end.
