Elephant (imdb | rotten tomatoes | buy) was brilliant. Using real kids made it feel authentic, and made it chilling. You watch all thse kids, all seeming normal, wondering who was going to snap first and who was going to get it in the end. And how bad. Some you felt bad for, others you didn’t…and the fact that I could even think that way made me realize how, with a few well-placed and unfortunate triggers, kids (and people in general) could find themselves on that sliding scale of detachment with a gun in their hand.
Big Fish (imdb | rotten tomatoes | buy) was Forrest Gump done by Tim Burton. That’s not to say it’s bad, it’s just to say what it was.
