From the lack of music to the stoic expressions of the students, the uninspiring lackluster school ceremony establishes a bored mood to the Welton preparatory school. When the headmaster proclaims the four values of the school as being "tradition, honor, discipline, and excellence," he connotes that the school's goal is to shape the students' minds and behavior into a specific, predetermined mold. In past years, the school has been successful, because over seventy-five percent of the students moved on to ivy league schools after graduation. The question is though, at what costs? In the opening school ceremony, no individuality or creativity emerged from the students. The behavior and actions of the students later in the movie are likely to be influenced by the school's overbearing strictness.
Interesting usage of the idea that they are losing something with everything gained. Also love the language used. Lackluster is not a word one could use to describe this post.
