I just watched Elephant, for those who don't know is a movie based on a school killing. I found it to be a very odd, but interesting. Anyone here seen it yet? thoughts?

I thought it was interesting. In the begining I was losing my mind waiting for something to happen, but by the 25 min. mark I was oddly entertained and thought Gus Van Sant was doing a good job of capturing a typical High School with typical kids.

 

I didn't think I was as great as the critcs said it was. I also thought it got pretentious in areas after the shooting started.

 

I also hated the very last scene.

 

 

BTW, contrary to what's been said the movie is fiction not based on any one school shooting in particular.
