I'm going to start this review off by saying that the first time I watched this was when I was 15. Me and a friend were having a sleepover, and we stayed up all night watching IFC when it came on. We had no idea what to expect, only that it was set in a high school (so we could relate) and it had a hot blonde boy in it. Needless to say this film is what made me interested in film study, and media ... read more

A bit of a let-down

Having watched this film I have to say that I'm disapointed with it. I liked the fact that unknown actors and actresses were used and that they actually used their first names in the film, but the acting (IMHO) didn't seem very realistic at all, but maybe thats because I'm not an American. I didn't really like the camera work, especially the gliding after a character walking down a corridor, that ... read more

Gus van Sant is a very good director but not all of his movies are successful (for example, Good Will Hunting is rather overrated). Not this one... A really schocking story told in a very particular way. I'm sure that many viewers would find this movie frustrating as many questions are raised while watching it but no answer at all are provided by the movie. I loved the fact that you have to think ... read more

Description: "Elephant" is a film about a normal day in high school that ends in a Columbine-esque massacre. We become observers of the events that happen throughout the day, as the film is filled with long tracking shots of students going out of and into classes, the cafeteria, the gym, or the library. The characters in the film are mos ... (more)

"Watched: 30.3. Erittäin vaatimaton ja kaunistelematon elokuva perustuen tositarinaan koulupäivästä, joka päättyi traagisesti kahden lukiolaispojan kouluammuskeluun tappaen 15 ihmistä ja haavoittaen 24. Elokuvan kulku tapahtuu näyttäen muutaman hahmon näkökulmasta heidän päivänsä arkisia tapahtumia, jossa samassa kerronnassa on mukana kouluammuskelijoiden omia hetkiä ja suunnitelmia ennen kyseistä tapahtumaa, mikä onkin elokuvan ns. loppuhuipennus ja päämäärä. Tämä loppu"

" it feels like being in high school (lots of walking)... everything just happens routinely, and then you realize it's all falling into place for the big finale... i enjoyed it a lot."
