Alex Vojacek Sadly, for sake of moral insanity on this world, the best part of this movie is actually when the group is working on how to cheat.I will explain this, in further detail.When confronted with an impossible task of defeating a Senior decathlon group who nobody can, a suburb group lead by a rebel professor, having found a copy of the next decathlon exams decide to cheat.The movie is filled with moral dilemmas, trying to balance its way out of it with real insightful ideas on how society scheme is not just "black and white" where good moral is to do it right and cheat is satanic.The best moments in the movie are related to how the team moral values plays out and the fantastic aspect of this movie is specially dedicated on how good the team work when they are together, it is a very contradiction of terms, to see the team working so good together when they are actually trying to cheat.Sad is that society is really preachy, society is not nice and never was, cheating is only a part of the equation and this is beautifully portrayed in the movie, for example when the guys are subjected to the worst prejudice comments from the people, when the people suspect of cheating, prejudice is far worse than cheating an exam but society doesn't see it that way, putting the team against each other in a police type interrogatory is far worse than cheating, telling lies about your friends to get what you want is also worse than cheating,but, society approves because it serves the purpose of maintaining the status-quo.When you balance the movie out, it is clear what the message is, the education system is flawed,I for one identify much more with this cheaters than with the whole system of education. Outside of school copying and helping each other in a subject is called collaboration, inside school, this is called cheating, working as a group, helping each other inside an exam is called cheating, doing this exact same thing on a corporation is called "group-work" and as a matter of fact, it is highly well paid in corporations like Valve and Google for example.Cheaters is a wonderful movie, really, this guys does bring a very important moral dilemma in which, sometimes, something that seems "wrong" is not so and some things that everyone knows to be right, are, VERY wrong.An unjust competitive system of education which compels young people to take each other's eyes out for a score is NOT right, a system that encourage prejudice, that encourage absolutes, a system that values success as a win or die and not as a learning process is WRONG.The movie ends in a graceful note, the moral values are beyond what society teaches, and "Cheaters" is a movie for the human race, it tries to put the matter into perspective and teach us what is wrong with the system and it does this with brilliant presence, nice script, very good acting and clever directing.This is a jewel of a movie and one you should not miss.A solid 9 out of 10.

michelle_1156 Oh my goodness, it's surprising how people totally ignorant of that situation and even the movie itself still take the time to comment. Whitney Young is no private school- it's a public school on the southwest side of Chicago that doesn't get nearly enough funding with kids that are just as poor as the 'rebels' from Steinmetz- and Steinmetz was no pseudo-Gandhi, just a bitter team that didn't dedicate the hours or resources needed to win.What occurred wasn't some glorious 'civil disobedience,' it was a group of kids who wanted to win the competition against a school who worked harder and did more. Puh-lease, this movie is an ill-fated attempt to be 'edgy' and skew morality for it's stupider viewers. There were no life-lessons involved, just a bunch of cheaters.

ilke akbulut I've seen this movie today on DVD and i found more than i expected. It's a great movie. Not only it deals with students who cheat and a teacher who helps them, but also the differences in a society. We say every one is equal, but this movie shows us that some are more equal. I totally agree with the idea that this things would never come up if those students were in a better school in a better part of the city. Let's face it. There is still discrimination among people. I don't approve cheating, but i got no harm from cheating. In this movie, we see that we can come over this discrimination even if we have to cheat. The fact is if they had taken that boy to the team, no one could claim they cheated. So it would be possible to cheat the system.

maike-thiemann Hey everybody .. I'm from Germany, my English isn't that good, but I hope I'm able to use enough words to make you understand me and my question. And of course I hope that this message actually will be read by anyone. You know that problem, I guess. You hear a song, somewhere, in the radio, in a club, somewhere outside .. or in a movie .. and you KNOW that melody, but have no idea who sings it and what is the title. Often you remember some lines of the lyrics and have the chance to search for it in google or something like that. It's getting really hard if it is a song without any lyrics, classical music, for orchestra. Perhaps anybody here can help me ... The song that is played when the students win against Whitney Young and run to the stage ..It sounds very triumphal and is often played in situations like that.. If anyone has an idea .. please let me hear (read) it.. Thank you
