The movie, "Elephant"

[DukeStreetKing]

Has anyone else seen this movie? I watched it last night and it was very disturbing. The movie follows some high school kids during a very short time period as they interact with each other and eventually two male students go on a shooting spree in the school. It appeared to be a scripted version of the Columbine incident. Wow, that was a freaky film.

I saw this movie and hated it. True, it was chilling, and I will never hear those songs on the piano again without thinking about this movie, but just didn't care for it overall.

Isn't this the one that tried to make a big deal out of not using "actors"? Which only means that they didn't use TRAINED actors since obviously there was acting....

As an actor I find it irritating that non-trained non-actors are seen to be better than hiring real actors. JMHO naturally.

YES MsLeFever. They just picked these kids with no experience. It was sad to watch.
