Summer City (1977)
Interesting...
This movie was definitely not as great as Braveheart :). But it is interesting to watch for the low-quality. For example, one part of the movie you can not even see the characters it is so dark, and the talking is mumbled; The plot line didn't even really start till about half way through the movie; and the climate did not happen till three minutes to the end, no jokes. But it was funny in the low-quality way, and there were funny moments in the movie.
If you watch movies for good character development, special effects or plots; I advise you not to see this movie, unless you are open minded.
For all you Mel Gibson fans, like me, you should really see this movie. They might not have it at your local video store, but make sure that you check under all the movie titles it goes by.

Elephant (2003)
All your comments are correct
Depending on your point of view, this movie could have been boring or brilliant. For me, it was brilliant and disturbing. I get upset every time I see the interviews with the teens from columbine that day and want to cry every time i see the video's in the library. I didn't watch the entire film, i mostly listened to it. But that parts that I did watch were boring at first, then when I looked at it dramatically, they were amazing. even the simplist movements. I loved the style that the director filmed it visually and the time sequences.
I agree with the user that said that it showed how hopeless the children were. It shows the power of anyone with a motive and a gun. It's frightening to me. I'm in school right now and a bit scared. Anyone could be walking around with guns on them ready to shoot the school. If you've seen one of the Michael moore documentaries with the kid that has many guns hidden in his clothing, then you know how many weapons one can carry.
This movie opened my eyes though I wish it hadn't. It's frightening what can go on at any moment.
