Elephant suspense. I love the director's take that Eric shoots his partner in crime, didn't see that coming;-) which is not what actually happened but a small touch like that makes all the difference vis a vis hate, accumulated hate. The kiss that girl gives that boy gives us hope. The school itself seemed good enough. The headmaster fairly reasonable. The school has all the facilities. OK nothing is perfect as in the real world. But as John Lennon said (just a mere coincidence that he was shot) "We all got both Hitler and Jesus inside of us, we all want Jesus to win" Trust me I'm not religious. Everything in this film is so pre-9/11 isn't it? Even the slow jump of the dog..... freezes the tempo of the film.... the intro and the 3 angles of repetition of the shooting .... a masterpiece of a film based on a real story.
