I have to say the main character in this film reminds me a lot of myself. Depression, bullying, and suicidal thoughts are things that plague me to this day. But strangely enough this is the only film that comes to mind as far as something I can truly relate to. The whole film showcases a compelling story supported by great acting and writing. This film is something that should be shown to high school students because bullying is a very largely ignored problem that could lead to things such as suicide and mass school shootings.This is definitely one of my favorite films but not many people would understand the true feelings expressed in this film. If you are majorly depressed this film comes to be almost life changing. I will keep this film in my mind and heart to keep going and I more than highly recommend this film. That isn't all I have to say but for now it's enough thanks for reading my review.

Bang Bang You're Dead is a film based on the high school production by the same name and it is easily one of the most powerful and life-changing movie I've ever seen. This film is 11 years old and talks about bullying in schools, how it's a huge problem instead of harmless fun, and how it changes students lives forever. Some students become withdrawn, others depressed, some suicidal, and in the rare cases homicidal. This film follows a bullied student, named Trevor, who is on the edge of becoming all four when his drama teachers asks him to be in the play, Bang Bang You're Dead. It is a play inspired by Columbine, that takes place inside the mind of a school shooter, who is haunted by those he killed. This leads to the main point of this film, will the teacher and play save Trevor or push him over the edge? On a personal note, I was pretty small and got bullied at school, until I hit puberty. This is the first film that was actually able to express all the emotions I've had inside of me for so long. Trevor expresses every feeling and emotion that comes along with being a victim and feeling helpless. By the end of this film, I was crying like a baby. It is honestly one of the most powerful and important films I've ever seen and I only wish that someone would have shown it to me when I was in school.

I've been in school not long time ago, I was in school when Columbine and it kinda scares me how good this movie is, every person remembers the time when something really embarrassing changed the way others look at them, well... this movie shows all that in the most crude way, how a person that act different can be a way to show why NORMAL is not always the best option, this kid Ben Foster is an amazing Actor I knew it when I first noticed him in "Get over it" but this movie must be his best work so far. the way the trogs act, the hurting on those eyes, on those little kids, those lost souls screaming for help, so amazing, so real, so good. I'm sure most of the people have seen this movie but is not a bad option for a day with your childs, it has everything you'll need to make them watch it and get the message.Amazing movie, there's no more words to express it.

OK, here we go. I don't pretend to be a critic, hence the lack of cool phrases like 'the terrific acting, intelligent plot, top notch camera work etc', which lacked even more in this 'movie'. I don't give a sh*t 'bout the imaginary exaggerated problems of the poor American youth, and my English sucks.This makes me quite the average movie viewer.What we got here: -depressed loser -chick -bullies -cool teacher, play-writer-wanna-be -a high-school play (including the typical teen-pathos) and freaking quotes like 'the children i killed are talking' to me... the play is taking place in my head!!! o.O -the idiotic idea about the USA high-school as a caste society: we're the cheer-leaders(preferably blond with titties), we're the rugby players - big, strong and stupid, some metals, rappers and other nerds here and there and oh - here's the extraordinary chick in which you shall fall in love... now! -thousands of clichés, pathetic acting, extremely annoying characters/actors and on and on...I'm still wondering what would make someone to give that thing more than 4-5, so here is my *1* rate and rant comment (to hopefully) balance it a bit.
