Have anyone seen this movie?

i watched half yesterday, and half today. well made. didn't help me with this depression i've been carring around for the last day or two though LOL.

anyone seen it or have any thoughts or questions(in case someone wonder what it is about 😉)

the movie was shoot in portland. there are only 3 actors in it, the other people(or the high school students) aren't really actors. But they do such a great job. its about these school kids and a day they won't forget, and a day some of them won't live to see the end of. it carries us through the school and through some moments of two of the kids.

its an exploration on why do kids bring guns to school to shoot the other students? what takes the there. it doesnæt give you a clear answer, it just shows you some moments in the 2 boys lives.

It hurt to watch this movie. Yes, it is pretty depressing, sad, tragic... but what made me want to jump out a window when I saw this, were the oooh so long takes. Just imagine how many times they must have had to shoot those takes to get everything right, gah. Made me crazy (yes I am crazy, people (*cough* 😉 ) keep telling me).

This movie is beautiful, and have way less dialogue and way less story than I had ever thought possible... But then again, there are those loong takes, walking down the corridor, into a room, eyecontact with someone, following that person walking instead, stop, walk, turn...

Um yeah. Sounds like I hate this movie. I don't. I don't like it either but I thought is was good, and I'd probably even watch it again if I got the chance.

We watched it in media a while back. Its kinda weird, not sure what to make of it really and the only thing I can think is I like the DVD menu setup. Hmm.
