Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Emperor's Club is a 2002 drama film directed by Michael Hoffman, starring Kevin Kline and Emile Hirsch.Based on Ethan Canin's short story "The Palace Thief", the film centers around teacher William Hundert (Kline) and his students at a fictional boys' prep school, St. Benedict's Academy, near Washington, D.C. It follows the relationship between Hundert and a rebellious student named Sedgewick Bell (Hirsch), which turns into a power struggle that spans literal decades over a classics trivia competition. | |

Bittersweet Ending: After receiving a "The Reason You Suck" Speech, Hundert has to accept that he has failed to influence Sedgewick into becoming a moral and principled adult - and one who is on track to becoming a US Senator. However even if Sedgewick's classmates are blind to his flaws and support his political career, they appear to have taken Hundert's lessons on board and clearly hold their teacher in high regard. | |

Artistic License – History: Hundert ultimately ensures Sedgewick's defeat in the first Mr. Julius Caesar competition by asking him who Hamilcar Barca was, a question which only Deepak can answer since Hamilcar did not feature in the assigned class reading (see Chekhov's Gun below). While it is possible to omit Hamilcar from a cursory Roman history, it is unlikely in a class emphasizing this subject - Hamilcar Barca was a major figure in the First Punic War and the influential father of Hannibal Barca, who nearly destroyed Rome in the Second Punic War. | |
