Bang Bang You're Dead (2002)

Excellent Movie that all High School teachers and students should watch

[10/10 · 22 December 2012]

This movie is great. It presents a real problem in high schools, it is sympathetic to both the bullied and bullies... There is nothing quite so terrible in the modern US for many people, than the bullying that goes on in high school. This movie captures the visceral pain that too many adults fail to empathize with, but nearly all of us who have been bullied understand only too well. I especially love the role played by the drama teacher; he really represents some of the kindness that teachers can deliver to their lonely, scared students. There are multiple messages in this movie. We should try and understand social outsiders better; we should try and enhance communication between students and teachers. This is a great movie, good acting, amazing plot; it keeps you keyed up from start to finish, where a great song, Runaway Train by Oleander
