    A Sad Reality In The Lives Of Our Children
    The Dirties is a film about two high school boys. They are given an assignment to make a movie and choose a plot that deals with taking down a gang of people called "The Dirties" who are bullies, troublemakers and like the title suggests, they are generally dirty folks. When they finish their film and present it, the boys, who are already victims of bullying, see an escalation of abuse. This triggers one of the boys, who loved filming their movie, starts taking the plot of the film and planning an attack on his real life bullies.

    This film is simplistic but I really liked that. It brought a realism and showed the progressive mental decline through how these boys were being treated. It was intereting to see the relationship between the friends begin to change and even though there was concern, there was still a naive position that everything was going to be okay.

    Bullying is a terrible thing and it is never really about the person that is being picked on. There is something going on within the bully that makes that person believe that by the mistreatment of others his or her own status is elevated. It is even more sad that people stand by quietly allowing the mistreatment of others to take place. Children/teens have not yet reached a point in their mental development to understand why someone would do these things to them and most of it is internalized and will eventually show itself in other ways. In this situation it was shown through seeking revenge.

    I thought that this was an excellent film. It was simple and direct. We have to do a better job in making sure that we aren't just saving kids from bullying but also saving the bullies from whatever is making them feel the need to tear someone else down.
