當羅斯林高中的帳務弊案爆發時,玉樹臨風的學監法蘭克對怒氣沖沖的董事們說,等等啊,要是貿然報案,學校名聲臭掉,很多大學可能因此不敢錄取本校學生,那又有多少人願意搬來這裡讓孩子就學?對學區附近的房價又會有何影響?頓時,所有董事眉頭一皺⋯⋯
.
這時候還沒有人知道法蘭克鑿的坑有多深。
.
依據真人真事改編的《壞教育》(Bad Education ,2019)的選角實在妙不可言,找來以金鋼狼、尚萬強等英雄形象聞名的男星休.傑克曼(Hugh Jackman)來飾演惡名昭彰的法蘭克・塔松(Frank Tassone),顯然是刻意讓觀者認知失調,即使醜聞一一揭露,也要你繼續臣服於他的魅力之下,忍不住為他說情。
.
本片是新銳導演柯瑞.芬利(Cory Finley)的第二部執導作品,其前作《良種動物》(Thoroughbreds ,2017)曾在日舞影展大放異彩。很快的,在《壞教育》之中,他已經證明自己能夠駕馭如此奧斯卡級別的作品。故事對人性善惡之模糊地帶的探索、體制敗壞的揭露,整體呈現上成熟完備,其中對校園政治的刻畫也讓人聯想到亞歷山大.潘恩(Alexander Payne)的《風流教師霹靂妹》(Election ,1999)。
.
值得注意的還有麥可.艾伯勒(Michael Abels)的配樂,他延續了《逃出絕命鎮》(Get Out ,2017)的野性風格,在理應代表理性與知識的學校當中,巧妙運用了原始部落調性的曲風,讓一眾儀表堂堂的人物像是手持棍棒分食叛徒的食人族,更使得電影主旨為之凸顯,即人物的表象之於人物的內在的差距。一直保持壓抑的休.傑克曼始終將角色表現的分寸拿捏得宜,自始至終,他都沒有「失態」的演出,保持風度,卻令人生畏。
.
片中值得玩味的一段劇情──起先以為是電影杜撰,沒想到是真實改編──將弊案率先公諸於世的可不是《紐約時報》或《洛杉磯時報》,而是校內發行的刊物。在劇中,高一校刊社社員瑞秋原本只是單純要做一個制式報導,怎料挖掘下去之後,不小心掀開了黑幕。處心積慮的塔松仍故作鎮定,指她的調查會帶來難以想像的傷害,勸她三思。
.
顯然,一個體制發展到一定的規模之後⋯⋯猶如玩家之於疊高積木,脆弱的可以,卻無可選擇地只能繼續往上疊,即便所有人都知道這個遊戲的結果就是崩塌。塔松以他的笑容征服了所有人,施技於無形,將所有人都拉攏進自己苦心建立的龐大利益結構之中。當他對向鏡子看向自己時,我們會發現他彷彿也被自己的魅力給蒙蔽,有如希臘神話中瘋狂迷戀上自己的納西瑟斯(Narcissus)。原來最高明的騙子,是能騙倒自己的。

在我眼中,那是滿佈缺點的強大
1996年,那時我是一個湖人迷,真的。
在台灣,幼時接觸NBA憑藉著是對籃球的熱情,當時資訊傳遞遠不如現在,只能靠雜誌、報紙、和為數不多且被篩選過的比賽,能看的就那麼幾隊,家裡的長輩常幹古湖人的Show Time怎樣怎樣,就被影響也成為一個湖迷了,長大一點後才知道,其實他們自己也沒看過幾場Show Time的比賽。後來那幾年轉播開始變多,但仍不是像現在想看哪場就看哪場,我也搞不清楚自己是由愛生恨,或是由恨生愛,我支持拓荒者、太陽、超音速,剛好被Michael Jordan蹂躪了一圈。
那年我喜歡湖人,主要是前一年以Eddie Jones為首的小湖人,打出好看的比賽和戰績,Shaq和Kobe同時入隊,我不是很喜歡Shaq,也不知道Kobe是誰,反正Eddie Jones還在,我也就繼續跟著湖人跑。
Jones越打越好,Kobe入隊那年,其實也是Jones在湖人的生涯年,但開始看到一些聲音說應該送走Jones,我心想哪根蔥哪根蒜,命中率4成出頭、場均7分、19歲就一臉屌樣,憑什麼?20年後「Kobe只是運氣好點的JR Smith」這鄉民梗,我早20年前就用過了,隔年生涯只打過7場先發的Kobe還入選了明星賽,我真覺得這傢伙就是含金湯匙出生,在洛杉磯、高中生、跟Shaq同隊,種種因素讓還沒任何實績的他成為了天之驕子,而球季結束後,Jones還真被送走了。
我很自然成了Kobe hater,也跳槽了,又這麼剛好,我跳槽的對象是同一年崛起的國王,新歡一崛起就和舊愛展開了連續數年的恩怨情仇,我成了Kobe hater + Lakers hater。
😢😢
到了2002,新歡實力終於能和舊愛平起平坐,甚至還猶有過之,兩隊決戰前,我第一次嘗試寫了比較完整的系列專欄,本命名為「終於到了那一天」,後被改名為「五虎填湖傳」刊登於nbamag,當時我真心以為,這是一次和Kobe及湖人的總清算,我萬萬沒想到的是,後來這個人可以繼續讓我恨了15年,哪根蔥哪根蒜,是恨不了那麼久的。
那時我也真夠年輕,和許多年輕人一樣,努力找出我自以為充實的論述,Kobe只是一個滿佈缺點的蔥蒜,一點都不可怕,但看到第二、三戰Mike Bibby的好表現幫助國王取得系列領先後,心中其實怕得要命,Phil Jackson這老狐狸千萬別讓Kobe來守Bibby,我在口中不斷論述Kobe這滿佈缺點的蔥蒜同時,心中卻不斷承認這蔥蒜其實並不是塑膠做的,他一堆缺點還能刷出好數據,還能讓湖人凹到三連霸邊緣。
😢😢
讓我想想,我那時最常說他什麼?極差的出手選擇、不會跑位要持球才會打球、該傳不傳尤其不讓指揮系統能運作、助攻數都是one-done的傳球刷來的、自私缺乏團隊意識、finish的對抗性其實不好都是靠空中身體延展來閃過防守、外圍單防兇換防快但缺乏包夾長人的意識、瞧不起隊友。
我想論證Jones並不比他差且國王可以打敗他,所以我不斷從他被吹捧的優點背面找出這些缺點,我為了找這些缺點觀察他入微,我對他的每個動作每個判斷了然於胸,比起看到他一個飛扣一個後仰就歡呼大叫的迷弟迷妹,我覺得我更了解他,因為他是最重要的敵人,所以我用了無數心思研究他,只是那時我還沒體認到的是,原來我才是最能認同他在這麼多缺點之下還如此強大難纏的那個人。
😢😢
Kobe剛出道的那幾年,除了被媒體刻意塑造成Jordan的下一代飛人,其實比較容易被比較的對象是Grant Hill、Jerry Stackhouse、Michael Finley這幾人,接著和Allen Iverson、Vince Carter各自成為一方之霸,但真正第一個和他稱為一時瑜亮的,是Tracy McGrady。
一直到現在,每每聽到一些側翼飛人被拿來和Kobe類比,我都可以很直觀馬上告訴你,他們和Kobe的不像之處,因為他每一顆進球或打鐵,都是我重要的樣本蒐集,Kobe向右邊帶球跳投時後仰的幅度會加大,向左邊帶球跳投時直接拔起的機會比較多,他之所以用那麼多後仰除了身體延展性好之外,還有他出手點很固定不會因後仰而變形,以及他投籃的弧線大而穩定,他因為手小,要走右邊切入才比較多機會單手飛扣,走左邊切入時經常是用雙手護球,如果單手多是類似大車輪的動作,但他的大車輪又比較類似半橢圓形的軌跡,他定點跳投時因為協調性好,膝蓋和手部動作幾乎一致,不會有類似Kawhi Leonard或Russell Westbrook那種直上直下的感覺。
😢😢
十幾年下來,每每我可以馬上講出一個球員和Kobe的不像之處,我才漸漸發現,原來我很了解他的強大。
我批判LeBron James,當球員就好好當不用那麼早急著佈局做生意,且還想干預球隊人事,我用的反例叫Kobe,我批判Kevin Durant,球隊奉他為尊,遇到一些不順無論是戰績、隊友、教練也該和全心支持你的城市共同奮鬥而不是繞跑,我用的反例叫Kobe,我批判Carmelo Anthony,不是不能當自幹王,但至少防守態度要有才不會拖累球隊,我用的反例叫Kobe,我稱讚一些年輕球員的苦練態度如Buddy Hield,我用的正面案例叫Kobe,我稱讚De’Aaron Fox年紀輕輕就懂得嚴格要求飲食,把自己調整成最適合長期比賽的身形,我用的正面案例叫Kobe,我稱讚一些老將不管幾歲上了場就是全力以赴,不擺老拿出積極的態度當表率,我用的正面案例包括Kobe。
不知不覺間,我早已認同這個我恨了最久的最重要敵人,他的職業態度是每個球員都該學習的。
😢😢
看球快30年,我支持的球隊從未拿過冠軍,除了國王自己的比賽外,最興奮的一次季後賽就屬2011年西區準決賽,看到Peja Stojackovic終於帶著我們那一代國王迷的夢,射掉了我們最痛恨的一個人,Kobe Bryant。
在Kobe退休的那一年,我接到了不只一兩次關於Kobe的文章邀稿,對於邀稿我一向來者不拒,但關於Kobe的邀稿我都拒絕了,我用的理由是我不屑靠寫Kobe來賺稿費,對我來說,Kobe就是一個敵人。
😢😢
唯一一個,夠資格稱為敵人的球員。
唯一一個,不想用戲謔的調侃,而是想認真打敗他。
唯一一個。
再見了,我以身為一個Kobe hater為傲。

The last time the Philadelphia 76ers won 11 straight road games, Allen Iverson was 5 years old.
Iverson scored 30 points and pushed a frenetic pace as the 76ers tied a 21-year-old franchise record for consecutive road wins with a 114-98 victory over the Dallas Mavericks.
Philadelphia has not lost on the road since a 96-85 setback to the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers on December 5. Its 18-4 road mark is the league's best and represents more wins than nine teams' totals for the entire season.
"It's hard on the road," Iverson said. "You've got to concentrate a lot more on the road. It's the toughest environment to play in. So you have to be focused and I think we've been real focused on the road. We understand everything is not going to go our way. We understand that we've got to keep playing for 48 minutes."
The 76ers tied a club record set from October 15-November 26, 1980, when the stars were Julius Erving, Andrew Toney and Maurice Cheeks, now an assistant coach with the club. They can break the mark Wednesday in Houston, which has a losing record at home.
"Coming into here, you know they beat us in Philly, and we were kind of shorthanded, not having (Rodney) Buford and Tyrone (Hill) to go with our other injuries," Sixers coach Larry Brown said. "It's been that way all year. We just find ways to win games and have guys step up and make valuable contributions."
"It's pretty good," forward Toni Kukoc said. "I think when you can win 11 games in a row on the road it tells you how good of a team we are. If we can keep our home court a little safer than what we've been doing, it would be nice."
Toni Kukoc scored a season-high 25 points for Philadelphia as he repeatedly knocked down open perimeter jumpers. He started for the flu-ridden Tyrone Hill and made 4-of-6 3-pointers.
"I was looking to pass the ball more than I was looking for my shot, then later on, I felt pretty comfortable shooting the ball," Kukoc said. "I had to find the good places and get open, especially when they started doubling. I spaced the court and my teammates found me and I hit the shots."
George Lynch added 16 points and 13 rebounds for the Sixers, who had six players in double figures and shot 54 percent from the field as they avenged a 112-94 home loss to Dallas on December 15.
In that game, Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki scored 36 points on 13-of-19 shooting. But the German sensation was held to 15 on 4-of-12 this time as Dallas had a three-game winning streak snapped.
"We just defended much better than we did in Philly but it didn't matter, I mean they were on fire in Philly," Brown said. "It wasn't just Dirk. I thought everybody on their team had a terrific game and made open shots. Today we stayed at home a little bit more. We didn't gamble quite as much or look to double-team as much."
"I didn't really get any open looks today," Nowitzki said. "Somebody was always standing by me. They did a great job defensively and you've got to give them credit."
Michael Finley had 27 points and a franchise-record 10 steals for the Mavs, who have lost five of the last six meetings with the Sixers.
"Gary (Mavs forward Gary Trent) talked to a couple of the Sixers yesterday that he's good friends with," Finley said. "That's all they kept saying was how we embarrassed them in Philadelphia. That was on their minds and it showed. They didn't give up. They came out and defended us."
Coming off a 51-point game against Toronto on Sunday, Iverson came out flying and never slowed down. He made 12-of-16 free throws and five steals as he cheated the passing lanes on defense and went hard to the basket on offense, forcing the tempo.
"He's one of the best players in the league," Finley said. "The way he handles the ball and as many times as he has the ball, he's always a threat. He's been playing well. He's been carrying this team."
Iverson scored 17 points in the first half, when Philadelphia led by as many as 13 before settling for a 51-48 halftime edge. Dallas tied it, 57-57, on a jumper by Steve Nash with 9:10 to go in the third quarter before the Sixers took control.
Iverson fed Lynch for a layup and made a pair of buckets. A 3-pointer by Kukoc and a jumper by Aaron McKie completed the 11-0 surge and gave Philadelphia a 68-57 lead with 6:32 left.
The Mavs got no closer than six points thereafter. They got within 77-71 late in the period but Kukoc made a 3-pointer. They closed to 71-75 early in the fourth quarter but a layup by Ratliff and a jumper by Kukoc rebuilt the lead to 10 points.
And when a free throw by former Sixer Shawn Bradley made it 85-79 with 8:41 remaining, Philadelphia sealed it with a 17-5 surge. Kukoc had another 3-pointer and capped it with a jumper for a 102-84 lead with 3:13 to go.
"Kukoc played well tonight," Finley said. "Toni was definitely the X factor that put them over the hump. If he plays like that, that team will easily be in the Eastern Conference finals."

EAST 111, WEST 110, at MCI Center (Washington, D.C.)
ATTENDANCE: 20,374
MVP: Allen Iverson
In one of the greatest comebacks in All-Star Game history, the Eastern Conference stormed back from a 21-point deficit to the Western Conference in the game's final nine minutes to claim a 111-110 victory. The game marked the first All-Star Game decided by a single point since 1977, when the West beat the East 125-124.
Sixers guard Allen Iverson took home MVP honors by scoring 15 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter as he weaved through the West's much larger lineup. Nets guard Stephon Marbury played a crucial role in the rally, nailing two key 3-pointers in the fourth quarter to help seal the win.
Tracy McGrady, who made seven All-Star teams in the 2000s, made his first All-Star appearance as a starter for the East. He finished with just two points. David Robinson wrapped up his All-Star career in this game, finishing with eight points and four rebounds off the West bench in 10 minutes.
Rookie Desmond Mason of the Sonics took home the Slam Dunk Contest crown with a left-handed power jam. Ray Allen of the Bucks became the first Milwaukee player to win an event at All-Star Weekend when he claimed the 3-Point Shootout title. Finally, Timberwolves sharpshooter Wally Szczerbiak had 27 points off the bench to power the Sophomores to a 121-113 win over the Rookies at the Rookie Challenge.
