Really Surprised!
Let's be realistic.
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Do not watch if you are like me and seeing adorable boys die hurts don't watch. Usually I have a cold heart, but this made me depressed for weeks on end. When Dominik died it hurt me deep, and him screaming for his parents didn't help. That girl with the pink hair she was a complete and total idiot, she destroyed Dominik's life. He would have been fine if she had stayed out of it. But, if you are not very emotional I suggest watching it because it is a great movie with wonderful acting. But if you are like me, please I beg of you do not watch! Great movie kept me interested the whole time! I love You Dominik! I always will!:(
I want to write here first and foremost that I did check that this contains spoilers, so please please please don't read this if you haven't seen this amazing Polish masterpiece yet.As an agoraphobic and very suicidal young adult I could very much relate to this movie, it had me shaking and in tears within the first ten minutes. The way this story is written, following Domonik as he struggles with his sexuality and bullying, is just beautiful from every aspect. It opens your mind and isn't afraid to dig down deep into your emotions and pull them to the surface. The SADDEST part I found to this movie by far was the ending, not because of his suicide (yes, it was very sad) but the terms OF his suicide. I'll admit that I've done almost the exact same thing he did, I sat on my bed one night while my mom was gone at her BFs, drank a beer, and swallowed eight pill bottles worth of anti-depressants, anti-psychotics, and other miscellaneous prescriptions of mine. And I'll tell you that the last memory I have of that is literally chugging away the pills, I have no memory of anything from that night. So after Domonik had swallowed those pills sitting on the toilet, he would not have remembered those "funny drunk" moments he had, he wouldn't remember crying and begging for someone to call his parents. Hell, he wouldn't have even had that vision of going out and dancing with the pink haired girl. He would have died, with his last memory sitting on a dirty toilet, alone.
I found this movie to be absolutely incredible, the acting was moving and so believable. Jakub Gierszal (Dominik Santorski) portrays what every teenager goes through at one point or another only he experiences what happens when no one asks the right questions or in this instance doesn't ask anything at all. It makes me sad to think that this is a reality for some and that the world around them have no idea what's happening. I urge everyone to see this movie and take note of the people around you, more often than not it's the ones that don't ask for help who need it the most. In my humble option I thought this movie brilliant and deserves more exposure than it got.
This is a very slickly produced, very pretentious, heavy-handed and plodding movie that presumes to be about teen suicide... or something - I'm really not sure what it was supposed to be. Maybe you have to be heavily into video games and Japanese cartoons - or a suicidal teenager - to appreciate it. All the technological glitz to me was just a huge, actually an insurmountable distraction. I tried to pick out what was happening to Dominik through all that crap, but it was hard work.Evidently he was a rich, spoiled, whiny, self-centered baby in a man's body, throwing fits in public whenever he felt put upon. That's what most of us are like at that age: some get over it and grow up, some get older but never grow up, and evidently some go off into a weird techno-nightmare and either stay there or kill themselves.The movie has a note at the beginning giving a hotline number for suicidal teens to call - if this movie brings comfort to any suffering kids, thank God for it; but as a movie, as entertainment, it's a plodding, heavy, glitzy, pretentious failure.
