Trial by Fire

This movie brought up such painful memories for me. My high school years were tainted for me by the same kind of false rumors and character assassination as this teacher, only I was a student and did not have anyone to support or defend me. I was subjected to the worst kind of bullying and insulting behavior that can be imagined. I figured the best way to defend myself was to not defend myself at all, to just mind my own business, make good grades, and get the hell our of there as soon as I could. I still don't know what these boys had against me - I didn't even know them, and they were going around telling the worst kind of lies imaginable. Of course, everyone believed them. They didn't stop until I started dating the captain of the wrestling team, first of all because I was "suitably taken", and secondly they were afraid of him. I am all grown up now, but it still hurts. I don't understand why high school boys do this to innocent girls.

I thought this movie was ok. The acting was kind of lame though. However I do recommend that you see it for Gail O'Grady and maybe not the acting. I also recommend that you see Another Woman's Husband. It's excellent!

A teacher is accused of sleeping with her student who later kills himself. The two versions of what happened are interesting to contrast.

Gail O'Grady is pretty and sympathetic.

About: A female teacher is caught between a rock and a hard place after a male student 47 himself.

Story: It was fine.

Production: I liked how the flash backs were not forced and irrelevant. Overall a fine production that could have used a little more substance. Court room scenes felt dull.

Worthiness mutts?: there was a worthless mutt in this movie. Only at the very beginning which is still a relief.

Moral code: for the boy you need thick skin made of uru to survive in this forsaken world. For the lady she did nothing wrong but adults always need to be vigilant when working with children. The system isn't broken its suppose to be the way it is. Even if you didn't do anything you may have to pay for crimes that you did not do. Though this teacher got off the hook but the damage can remain with them for a life time.

Highlight: the lead teacher was kind of hot.

Unworthiness level: 0

Should you watch this?: Yea. It was a decent good movie.

This movie can help save lives. Especially teachers and adults with children related careers. This movie is more about warning people of the dangers of working with children than it is entertainment.
