So this "radical portrait of American high school life" is as shallow in its portrayals of American teenagers as the filth foisted upon them by MTV.
Perfect. I totally agree. I don't think Elephant raised awareness so much as it did contribute to the public's already skewed view of teenage mentality. Gay kids with guns who like video games will kill your children. Poignant observation, Gus.

basically, if you want a film that properly analyzes the whole high school shooting thing, watch Bowling For Columbine
I saw a good analysis buried somewhere beneath the sensationalism and the oh-so-subtle "shock-you-into-reality" moments. I just can't take a "documentary" like this seriously when a big fat moron is parading in front of me the entire time. Michael Moore is 0% journalist and 100% celebrity. He has some good things to say; he just can't say them in a professional manner. I hate him.
