"Elephant" ("Elephant"), the Palme d'Or and the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival that year. The background of the school shooting, but there is no blood, how cruel it must be. Introverted, silent, lonely, romantic, a white boy from a privileged family, Alex, calmly buys guns, plans, explores, and calmly kisses his fellow boy before committing atrocities and going to destruction. He is not gay, just to accomplish this. A romantic thing that has never been done. The killing went on peacefully. After Alex shot his companions calmly, he aimed his gun at two classmates hiding in the storage room. The film came to an abrupt end without explanation, leaving only sadness.
