"Elephant", once again confirms a commonality of almost all artistic creations - what is expressed is not important, what is important is how to express it. There are countless ways to shoot the subject of school violence. You can shoot cruel, heart-wrenching, sad, and of course, you can shoot so calmly like "The Elephant". Calmness is not easy, calmness is the devil.
Long shot, follow shot, back view, different perspectives of the same scene, simplified lines. "Elephant", a calm and unusual school violence film. The smooth piano song "To Alice" in the bedroom, the ethereal sound of bullets in the teaching building, the hand that pressed the key and pulled the trigger turned out to be the same hand.
