I appreciate the work and the time spent but...

.. I would join -GhostMint- on the cliche (taxi driver, natural born killer). I was surprise they only played a car race and not a Doom.

I appreciate the time spent, it's a long movie, should have been a lot of work. I appreciate most the fact we never speak enough about the "columbine thing". For this u worth a 10. But personnally, i didnt like very much the graphics, that i think was a bit simples (ex miss some shadows or face expressions details). The music is good, but the voice are a bit annoying.

anyway, it worth being watched ... Thanks u

"Elephant" Anyone?

Im guessing that this was inspired by the movie "Elephant". Alot of scenes in this where really similar to those in the film. The scene where they tell the kid in the parking lot that "serious shit is about to happen". The scene where the teacher runs and gets shot in the back and the kid says 'bitch'. Some of it was accurate aswell such as the "do you believe in god?" bit and the part where 'andy' comes up and they let him go(though i think the real kid had a different name).

Another thing I noticed is the music you used, its also from the film Elephant. I can understand being influenced by that movie, its really a mind blower. I give this cartoon a 7/10

Thanks for the review. Elephant is indeed a very good movie. However, all the situations in the flash were animated after research. The 'serious shit is about to happen' part was literally said according to wikipedia. The only part similar to elephant is the 'bitch' part.
The music isn't from elephant either. The main score is by Fernando Sor, a classical composer who i stumbled upon after browsing through my cd collection. The other songs have nothing to do with elephant either.
I think some people compare this to Elephant because it basically uses the same approach on the theme. A very nihilistic, almost documentary approach. I think this is the only approach that works for the columbine topic. Putting the emphasis on action, drama or personal opinion would ruin the movie in my opinion.
Thanks for the review
