oh ya, forgot to mention. watched this pretty disturbing movie, ELEPHANT partially fictitious (but based on actual happening)of 2 teens involved in school shooting(READ: Columbine High School). Freaks me out, man, how the 2 guys calmly walk around school in full ammo(READ:sawed-off shotgun,Hi-Point semiautomatic rifle & bombs)They actually start the spree with these 2 words in mind, "Have fun". Freaky...
The cinematography is gorgeous, the direction superb.Gus Van Sant..whatdoyya expect? (Hello, winner of the Palme D'or award, Cannes 2003) The layout of the whole movie is similar to that of 21 GRAMS, where various scenes are segregated and rearranged, like an undone jigsaw puzzle. What is different bout' Elephant is that each scene is further broken down into various angles, focusing on different characters, each time. Interesting. So intriguing...
