Yeah, I'm pretty convinced of it.
Only with this post have I seen the parallel: The Caine Mutiny. The independent TM teachers are mutineers who've done what they've done to save the ship. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046816/ In the book, though -- I don't remember if the movie covers this ground or not -- Queeg is vindicated in the end. from http://www.writing.upenn.edu/~afilreis/50s/caine-mutiny-text.html Keefer quickly said, "Speaking, from ignorance, sir, my, understanding is that mental disability is a relative thing. Captain Queeg was a very strict disciplinarian, and extremely meticulous in hunting down the smallest matters, and quite insistent in having his own way in all things. He was not the easiest person in the world to reason with. It wasn't my place to question his judgments, but there were several occasions when I thought he bore down too hard and spent excessive time on small matters. Those are the things that were recorded in the medical log. They were very unpleasant. But to jump from them to a conclusion that the captain was a maniac -I was compelled in all honesty to warn Maryk against doing that." - testimony by officer Keefer " Queeg deserved better at my hands. I owed him a favor, 'don't you see? He stopped Hermann Goering from washing his fat behind with my mother." - the attorney Greenwald to the acquitted officers of the Caine ------------------------ Yahoo!
