Elephant - 4

This is Gus Van Sant's fictional, but reminiscent, story of high school students who go on a shooting spree and kill a number of fellow students. The bulk of the film just shows what life is like for a few of the students, most of whom are the victims. All of the actors are actual high school students and most of them go by their own names. There isn't any way to talk about this film with out spoiling the ending, which I also heard about before actually watching the film, so there was the element of anticipation for when the shooting would start. The point of the movie is really to just show the complexity of logic and thought that are behind human behavior. It may initiate some conversation but is not really very enjoyable to watch.
