this is the kind of flash movie that proves that the genre is not exclusively used for bad jokes and violant humor, as many artists I have befriended tend to think.
This movie provides good insight into why those boys did what they did. Pushed to the breaking point by being different in a small town, they lashed out. It has happened before, but never like this...
I must say the scene that effected me the most was right before the massacre scene. "...fuck off, I kinda like you..."
Thank you for saying what no one else has the balls to say.
Masterpiece.
One of you guys mention in the special features that you'd seen Elephant, the indie flick directed by Gus Van Sant, and that you really didn't want this to be like that. Well, don't worry. I've seen Elephant too, and I thought it very disappointing.
I would rather watch this flash any day. More effort and class has gone into this than in any single frame of GVS's film.
Some amazing techniques here - split-screen was cool, especially the way it's kinda only split between the characters and not the backgrounds.
I also had fun spotting all the different movie posters. All these small details add up to a very real feel.
I gave you a 5 for violence, I dunno why but it felt wierd to give you a ten. Those were real kids who died, I can't celebrate in graphic interpretation of that in the same way I could in a horror anime or any other fictional violence. Not long before Columbine, were I used to live in Scotland there was a town not far from me where an adult walked into a primary school (Grade School for US) and shot an entire class full of kids and their teacher. I don't think I could watch a flash movie based on that.
A provocative 10 overall.
Wow
That was a really good and touching movie.
man
You are going to heaven when you die. Dude, this was the best flash animation i have ever seen. please dude, make more of this kind of crap. You ha a nack for this and it shows. This was very deep, and the animation was very slick and powerful. great job
