Great movie. A must watch...

Indignation is defined as anger or annoyance provoked by what is perceived as unfair treatment. One word title that captures the whole narrative.

A free and independent thinker challenges the traditional foundation of his college as apparent in the intellectual fight between the dean and the male lead character. Also, the inability to tolerate intrusive roommates assigned according to the jewish faith and pressured into social groups of sorts.

The clear prejudice and discrimination towards Marcus by the Dean on the basis of atheism. On matters of changing living space to the incident with his girlfriend, I can understand why there is Indignation. Accusing someone of raping someone and getting them pregnant would cause Indignation.

It is relevant to today's context from mandatory chapel/praying requirement to negative stereotypes towards free-thinkers. As an atheist, I appreciate the representation. I admire Marcus' strong convention and standing up for what he thinks. It is sad to think there are a lot of people like the Dean.

Finally, I would like to appreciate the slow, sweet and satisfying ending...
