Bad Genius (2017) : The Characters

  The 2017 Thai heist thriller film "Bad Genius" was directed by Nattawut Poonpiriya. Four central characters engage in a high-stakes cheating plot during their high school examinations in the story, which centers on them. How these characters vary is as follows:

The main character and most brilliant and resourceful student in the movie is Lynn. She has amazing problem-solving abilities and a remarkable capacity for quick thinking. Although Lynn is first shown as a conscientious and diligent student, she eventually gets involved in a scheme to cheat in order to make money. She is motivated by ambition and a desire to get away from her underprivileged upbringing. Throughout the film, Lynn's personality changes as she struggles with moral quandaries and the repercussions of her choices.


Grace is one of the main participants in the cheating operation and is Lynn's best friend. Grace is not as bright intellectually as Lynn, but she is talented in acting and mimicking. By taking tests on behalf of other students, Grace assists Lynn in carrying out their cheating scheme. She sticks with Lynn and encourages her in all they do. Grace offers comic relief in the movie, frequently bringing humor to uncomfortable circumstances.

Pat is a different student who becomes involved in the scheme to cheat. He starts out as a top student, but he doesn't have the money to pay for the cheating services. The moral perspective in the movie is embodied through Pat's persona. He struggles with the ethics of lying and has second thoughts about taking part in the scam. Pat's internal conflict gives the narrative complexity and contrasts Lynn and Grace's objectives.


   Bank enlists Lynn and her companions to carry out the cheating scheme. He is a wealthy and entitled student. He is shown to be a cunning figure who exploits Lynn's brilliance. Bank illustrates the wealth gap between him and the other characters and stands in for the affluent class in society. He plays a key role in the organization and planning of the cheating operation, using his resources and influence to make sure it is successful.

    The characters in "Bad Genius" each contribute distinctive traits and viewpoints to the narrative. Pat stands for integrity, Lynn is motivated by ambition, Grace contributes with her acting talent, Bank is a symbol of privilege. Their contrasts produce a dynamic and intricate story that examines moral issues, social inequity, and the pressure to do well in an intensely competitive academic setting.
