Review of Elephant (1993) by Elizabeth N — 20 Oct 2008

I love this film. It's so clever and chilling, even though all you really feel like your doing is walking behind people, but that's the beauty of it - we watch as though we are CCTV and it is beyond our control to try and prevent what is going to happen.

I also love the fact that we're presented with a range of options as to why these boys acted the way they did but its never answered. The fact that they used normal teenagers in the role rather than actors was also a very brave move which, in my humble opinion, paid off as it added a more realistic feel and made the ending that little bit more tragic.

I studied this film in media and now I love it, its just so flipping good, but a hard one to watch especially the end.
