      serious comedy

      Director Brett Simon made his first feature film. Before that, he had only two experiences of directing experimental short films. In the process of directing this film, he fully demonstrated how important experience is to filmmaking, and he has a serious lack of control over the film. The style is too messy. Fortunately, there are still many bright spots in this film. The beautiful cast, good music and editing, and the cameo of Bruce Willis make this film a little tougher. . .
         In fact,...

      It's simple, but exciting

      The story couldn't be simpler, and I guessed where it was going from the start. Yes, I'm the kind of person who keeps guessing at the beginning of the story.
      The simplicity of the story is not important, and the excellent casting adds a lot to the film. The combination of old drama bones and handsome faces is suitable for all ages.
      A surreal high school. Mistakes will be punished like a prison, with all kinds of handsome guys and beautiful women interspersed among them, this seems to...

      really ugly

      The style of the film is very clear, it is narrated from the first point of view, interspersed with the characteristics of different characters, both real and fantasy, looking at the feeling of dizziness, maybe the high school era was so psychedelic, confused, trying to find the answer but Confused by the answer again, this film too deliberately emphasizes the wisdom and restraint of the protagonist. At the same time, the things around you are very different. If you don't go deep into the...

      Only music can make me ecstatic

      The beginning, not the end

      At first, I saw this film out of boredom, so I began to review
      "The High School Principal Conspiracy", the only thing I can think of is
      whether it is a shootout film or a prank about the high school principal? Makes me a little confused

      You are my home coming qween!

      I originally wrote two short comments, but I still felt that I should write something more. The first thing that came to my mind was the sofa in the movie, probably because I was going to sleep on the sofa tonight.
      This sofa appears twice in total, forgetting the color, forgetting the material, and only remembering the person sitting on the sofa. Marlene was sitting on one side of the couch, and a younger chick was lying on the other side after drinking too much. Funke sat on a small sofa...

      High School is as deeply imprinted in American culture as an Icon. It is not just as simple as preparing for the college entrance examination. So for me, who spent my high school life preparing for the college entrance examination, not so touching, but still, to be so Impulse without regard to...

    Serious comedy

    At first glance, "Assassination of a High School President" seems to contain many elements of movies, such as youth campus themes, realistic themes that criticize the current society, or horror and suspense. It makes people feel a little "four different" themes, the screenwriter of the film Tim Calpin said: "This film is essentially a very 'realistic' story. The main meaning of the word reality is reflected in the authenticity of the...

      Clara: Forget it, Funke. It's high school.

    • Bobby Funke: [Narrating] Their alibis were like dutch ovens - gamy, but air tight.

    • Tad Goltz: He didn't give you a whole lot? How could he not give you a whole lot? Look at the guy, people love him. He's fucking JFK, he's smart, he's charismatic, he's good looking, he's a tenacious athlete.

      Bobby Funke: I am sorry, Tad. I didn't realize you felt that way about him. Sad.
