Synopsis:
In this modern version of Shakespeare's 'Othello', Odin James is the black star of the basketball team at an otherwise white boarding school. He is headed for big time with his sport and is in love with Desi, the most popular girl in school. Meanwhile, Hugo is the coach's son, but he is outshone on court by Odin, and his father says he thinks of Odin as a son as well. Hugo's feelings of envy and neglect lead him to construct a plot to make Odin doubt Desi's love for him, a plot which Hugo is willing to take to its most extreme consequences.

| Trivia |
+ Natasha Lyonne and Mena Suvari were considered for the part of Desi.
+ The rally cry the basketball team uses during timeouts ("What time is it?
Game time!") is the same one used by the Chicago Bulls throughout the 1990s.
+ Some post production sound was provided by students at Sir Francis Drake
High School in San Anselmo. They added their sound to the basketball crowds,
party fight scene, and the shooting scene in the girls' dorm.
+ This film was being edited by night while O Brother Where Art Thou was
being filmed during the day.
+ This film finished production in 1999, and its original release date
coincided with the Columbine High School shootings. The release was
postponed because of the film's themes of violence and murder in a
high-school setting.
+ The music at the end of the movie, "Ave Maria", is from the end of Verdi's
opera "Otello", which was also based on the Shakespearean play "Othello".
+ Christina Ricci originally had the part of Desi Brable, but had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts.
+ Referred in Lucy (2006) - There is a film poster hanging on the wall of
Maggy's room.
+ A modern remake of "Othello" by William Shakespeare. |
| Goofs and Mistakes |
+ Continuity: When Odin and Hugo are in Hugo's
room talking about Mike and Desi, the jacket hanging on the bed changes
positions.
+ Continuity: In the end when Emily is confronting Hugo about telling
O that Desi was cheating on him, she is pointing in O's direction with her
left hand. In the next shot, she has changed hands and is pointing at Hugo.
+ Factual errors: When Odin kills Desi, he kills her by
strangulation. However, at the end when she is dead from this, she has no
visible finger marks or bruises on her. |
| Quotes |
+ [first lines]
Hugo: All my life I always wanted to fly. I always wanted to live like a hawk. I know you're not supposed to be jealous of anything, but... to take flight, to soar above everything and everyone, now that's living.
+ [last lines] Hugo: All my life I always
wanted to fly. I always wanted to live like a hawk. I know you're not
supposed to be jealous of anything, but... to take flight, to soar above
everything and everyone, now that's living. But a hawk is no good around
normal birds. It can't fit in. Even though all the other birds probably
wanna be hawks; they hate him for what they can't be. Proud. Powerful.
Determined. Dark. Odin is a hawk. He soars above us. He can fly. One of
these days, everyone's gonna pay attention to me. Because I'm gonna fly too.
+ Emily: I have something for you.
Hugo: You have things for lots of guys.
+ Emily: All this time I've been looking for romance and all I had to
do was steal something.
Hugo: You didn't steal anything, you just borrowed it for a little
while. And if you wouldn't mind I'd like to borrow you.
+ Hugo: I did what I did, and that's all you need to know. From
here on out I say nothing.
+ Odin: Jason, ask him why he did it. Ask him!
Hugo: You don't say nothing, I did what I did, and that's all you
need to know. From here on out, I say nothing.
+ Hugo: [Roger accidentally shoots Mike in the leg]
No! Fuck Rog! It has to look like suicide! It has to look like fucking
suicide Roger! Fuck!
Roger Rodriguez: I did what you said! Now we do it up close!
Hugo: No! The cops will know someone else fired the first bullet!
Fuck Rog! You fucking herbed us! You fucking herbed us! Where's the scarf?
Where's the fucking scarf!
Roger Rodriguez: I lost it.
Hugo: When the cop comes I'm gonna tell them you shot him in self
defense.
Roger Rodriguez: If he wakes up he's going to tell on me!
Hugo: Sorry bro, Desi's dead.
[Shoots Roger]
+ Odin: My life is over, that's it. But while all ya'll out here
livin' yours, sitting around talking about the nigger who lost it back in
high school, you make sure you tell them the truth. You tell them I loved
that girl, I did but, I got played. He twisted my head up. He fucked it up.
I ain't no different than none of ya'll. My mom's ain't no crack head, I
wasn't no gang banger, it wasn't some hood rat drug dealer that trip me up.
It was this white prep school motha fucka standing right there. You tell
them where I'm from ta make me do this. |
