“With Honors” (1994), is a heartwarming drama about the unlikely bond between a Harvard student, Monty Kessler (played by Brendan Fraser), and a homeless man, Simon Wilder (played by Joe Pesci). The film explores themes of humanity, compassion, and the value of learning beyond academic walls.

Simon, despite his circumstances, delivers a profound statement about democracy and the U.S. Constitution. Addressing Monty’s professor and peers, Simon states, “The genius of the Constitution is that it can always be changed. The genius of the Constitution is that it makes no permanent rule other than its faith in the wisdom of ordinary people to govern themselves”. His words highlight the enduring strength and flexibility of democracy, emphasizing the faith placed in individuals to shape their collective destiny.

This moment resonates deeply as Simon, a man society often overlooks, reminds the audience of the fundamental principles of fairness, adaptability, and trust in humanity. It’s a compelling commentary on how wisdom and insight can come from the most unexpected places, challenging preconceived notions about privilege and intellect.
