That’s exactly why the scene sucks SO MUCH. I’ve read that Korean boy bands (which are a big thing, BTW) have their music written by an algorithm that’s been carefully developed to use a tried-and-true chord progression to produce popular hit after popular hit. The expulsion hearing scene of “SoaW” was the cinematic equivalent: making you think you’re seeing how a hero sticks it to The Man, when what’s really happening is that an argument is being made that the protagonist should be allowed to cover up for his bros so they can all graduate from their tony prep school. Because a code of silence is integrity — which may be so in the face of injustice, but which in this case allows actually guilty students not to be punished for a prank they, you know,
actually committed. Hoo-ah!
