It's still the same slow narrative, and the same combination of multiple spaces. Van Sant, who likes to interject, once again made me ponder.
In the process of growing up, people will inevitably make mistakes, big mistakes and small mistakes, and they will continue to appear, but killing people is always not a good thing. "The Elephant" tells a parable of the elephant: If an elephant appears in your bedroom, either you think the whole thing is not real, or the elephant is not real. But in this film, it gives you another thought, but when the elephant appears in your bedroom, you can think that there is also an aircraft carrier at the same time. In comparison, the elephant is much smaller and has more attention. Easy to get to the aircraft carrier. Maybe the boy mentioned the Iraq war, intentionally or not. After all, the police still have unexpected factors to consider (if there is CSI there is no way).
Every time I watch a movie, I think, what would I do if I ran into it? Yeah, what would I do? In the face of murder, such a huge psychological pressure, how could a high school teenager return to life so easily, not to mention watching half of the people crawling in front of him. The director may warn again that the world is very pornographic and violent, and people will not be surprised if they see so much. Then students will shoot at the school with automatic rifles, or after killing people, they will find a friend to say something secretive. . Fortunately, there is no end to the film, and later on, it depends on everyone's wishes to develop.
I feel sorry for ALEX, it was an accident, really just an accident. His family was unfortunate too, his parents were going to be separated, and most of the serial killers in Criminal Minds were incomplete and wonderful in their teenage years. Van Sant can always capture the hearts of teenagers. Lonely people drive alone late at night to a place called Mihuan Park. In fact, everyone was lonely when they were young and yearned for someone to understand. , yearning for a place where you can let yourself indulge yourself. The whole movie is gray, and the people who watch it really want to sleep, and they are also inexplicably depressed, but this is Van Sant, which will make you always have a feeling of thinking at the end.
Maybe, this is a philosophy movie, not recommended for people who don't like Van Sant's style, because you will definitely fall asleep
