Bang Bang You're Dead (DVD, 2003)

Completely compelling movie... one of the few movies that actually depicts high school realistically. The bullying/teasing made me cringe but kids can be THAT cruel.

Schools tend to believe the "normal" kids more than the outsiders... maybe they don't want to face the truth, who knows... which is probly why some kids don't even bother reporting anything.

I could relate to Ben's character Trevor in the way he felt isolated (aside from wanting to blow up the football team).

'Bang Bang' sheds some light on how someone could feel helpless/angry/frustrated enough to want to something drastic and how being bullied plays a role in it. *I'm not condoning violence in any way though*

The play in the movie no-one in the town wants done but its a sort of therapy for Trevor, working out some of his inner demons and giving him a sense of pride and purpose I guess you could say.

He's walking a fine line in the movie, close to the tipping point... the only people who really seem to believe in him are his drama teacher and Jenny.

Everyone in the cast gives compelling performances... you really believe them in their roles and lose yourself in the story. Thats the mark of a good movie, which more often than not, hollywood can lose sight of that.

I was really impressed by Ben Foster... Trevor's a complicated guy and in the wrong hands it would've been a disaster but Ben really gets into the character, you find yourself rotting for Trevor not to go down the dark road.

I can't wait to see what else Ben does... he's sure to have a long career :)

'Bang Bang' should be shown in every school.... maybe it would help prevent some school violence and/or tragedy

This movie is a hidden gem that should be more well known... I highly recommend it :) 5 stars in my opinion

I bought the Bang Bang your dead and was immediately impressed. this is my all time favorite movie. i will be watching it a million times over an over. i advise you to buy it if you interested yuo will love it your self.

AWESOME MOVIE!!! would recommend to anyone this movie was amazing my friend told me about it so i looked it up thought it sounded interesting once i watched it i was blown away A MUST WATCH MOVIE!! if your offended by violence and images of bullying i may not recommend it to you there is much of this in the film but school bullying is the main part of this movie it shows how hurtful it can be and how it CAN CHANGE SOMEONES LIFE!!

I love the movie. A very good performance by Ben Foster. I wanted to buy it becuase I have a lot of things in common with the Trevor charactor. Only my "X" is a lot lower than his.

I bought the movie because my son had to watch it at school and told me that it was a movie that he wanted me to see. I watched it and it really does explain alot about peer pressure and some of the things that can cause a kid to become violent i would recommend this movie to anyone who has teenagers at home to help them see what teasing and tormenting can cause another person to feel.
