dpac Posted May 6, 2004 Report Posted May 6, 2004 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?
MDH257 Posted May 7, 2004 Report Posted May 7, 2004 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.
Guest Choken One Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 I hought it wa ok but clearly they were focusing in on A very specific shooting.
Guest MissMattitude Posted May 16, 2004 Report Posted May 16, 2004 Yeah, it was very much influenced by Columbine.
