I'll check out that link, Jim. I just saw that you posted. When I first saw the movie, I admit that I was distracted. Didn't watch it all that closely and thought it ran long. But, I was wrong. Cate Blanchett is just terrific, I love her. That scene got my attention. She is correct, or her character is correct, but notice that she hangs her head at the end of the scene. And it's kind of how I feel about it. The student isn't wrong for questioning what we hold in high regard, but he can't see beyond his own limitations, too, and in fact calls her a "fucking bitch" at the end of the scene. Which of course undermines his whole point of view. And his leg shaking throughout was a nice touch.
