Why does this movie spend most of it's time introducing aspects of the characters lives that we don't care about, shopping, parties etc. I cared about maybe two of the characters. And are they purposely trying to insinuate that other than the odd spit ball in class, anyone who is motivated to kill their classmates is just a regular kid at school but secretly goes home and watches Nazi videos and engages in secret homosexuality and spends hours practicing piano? I got zero meaning from this movie, and zero compassion and I was basically offended by the simplistic way they represented such a complex social problem. It's not just an anomaly. School is hell for a lot of teenagers and movies should make this clear. I've yet to see a realistic representation of high school in a movie. The hidden hierarchal system and the way someone quietly or not so quietly makes you feel worthless.
