- Elephant truly disturbed me. With no main character or "hero" it made the movie feel very real as we follow different students around their high school. I must have stared at the screen for a solid five minutes after the movie ended not sure what to think because I felt so uncomfortable. I loved it. The long camera shots were very interesting to me as well. I know this movie seems to get mixed reviews but I think it is probably underrated, mainly because it doesn't progress or end the way the average movie does. I plan on watching it again next weekend.


Blibble, have you seen Last Days? It's my favorite of the three films that get grouped as Van Sant's "death trilogy".


"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."
