I would of been fascinated to talk to this guy. Being albino wouldn't of bothered me worth a damn. The movie does a good job of showing how most people fear and detest what they don't understand.
All i can think during the cafeteria scene is, why doesn't anyone stand up for him. He's just eating by himself, not hurting or bothering anyone and they all flock like a pack of rarbid fucking animals. Says a lot about humanity. :'(
@Sporky86 It's generally true that people will act like that. Group thought, people generally go with the flow of the crowd. It's rare for someone do go against the mass. It's because we're a social species, a survival mechanism in our mind gives us a susceptibility to go with the group, even when we know that it's wrong.
Pay attention to day to day activities. You'll find that you take part in group thought on a regular basis. From small matters, to big ones.
@billy1212ist You may wish that you lead, but nature says otherwise. I'm not talking specifically about the scene, obviously it's a scripted scene so it doesn't depict a real scenerio. Group think isn't something you choose to do, it's naturally ingrained in the psyches of all social species. Like I said, pay attention to everyday things when you're in big groups, it happens on a regular basis in everybodies day to day life.
@Sporky86 *Says allot about a portion of society's humanity,or lack there of.I have been there,and said "leave him alone",not with words,with actions.I would go befriend him,sit,smile and talk,that's all.I'm 5'-5'',and 200 pounds,with gorilla like arms,etc.People tend to shy away from me.Tough guys are few,but disposed of.I;m the guy,that ran into the fire,with my friend,Bobby Pappas,and we saved the six kids.Pushed two people out of the way of a speeding car.Saved a drowned boy.We are here too.
A boy at my high school had albinism. He played varsity football and was part of the so-called "popular" crowd. Why can't everyone accept everyone else for who they are? Breaks my heart seeing people bullied.
They talked to him horribly, but you guys saying they deserved to get beaten up are disgusting. you try so hard to sound 'deep' and better than those guys in the movie when you're exactly like them.
First, he's really attractive. Second, those assholes deserve a jawbreak for treating him so cruel. and Third, after he owned them in the cafeteria, they should've backed off right then and there :-)
@Divdona777 Oh yes, violence ALWAYS solves life's problems. =) how wise and gentle like Jeremy you are!
people like you guys disgust me... you act like you think you're so deep and superior to the rest of humanity just because, like the director wanted, you feel sympathy for the poor kid like you're supposed to. get real.
Wow, Get a life and stop harrassing everyone on here that has a different opinion than you. It's terrible of me to feel sorry for a kid getting ganged up on at school??? If you don't feel any sense of pity then you aren't any different from the callous people who just stood by and watched it happen. I never said I was deep or superior to anyone. You just assumed that about me. Violence doesn't solve much but in the real world, a bully will back off if you fight back.
@xxmightyonexx The lunch scene took place at the boarding house. You do have a good point though, that no administrators came in or were even present.
UGH!!!!! Douchebags!!! The sad part about this movie is that it is based on true events. Not necessarily about this person, but your everyday ,in fact. People dread going to school, work or even in public places because they're considered "abnormal"! Behavior such as this can break a person's self esteem down enough to consider suicide and people shouldn't have to kill themselves to make a DAMN statement!!!Each and every person is beautiful in their own particular way.
AFTER WATCHING A MOVIE LIKE THIS, HOW COULDYOU POSSIBLY REMAIN PREJUDICED, RACIST OR JUDGEMENTAL .... THIS MOVIE MADE ME THINK.......& CRY.....& CRY!!!
i agree. from the begging up to the end i was like "ohhhhhhhh he's gorgeous, he's sexy, and a good man too....." GREAT MOVIE!!! AN EXCELLENT MOVIE! A ROUND OF APPLAUSE TO THE DIRECTOR AND TO THE ACTROS AND ACTRESSES!
I would of walked over and taken that spoon, stuck it to the guys eye, and asked him, 'would you like to keep your eye? (when he said yes) then leave him alone' I love being a bully to bullies!
@Campcouch uh, tell yourself that... they wouldnt have said "yes", they like all confident, successful bullies would laugh their behinds off at you and humiliate you in front of everyone till you cried. no way you could 'bully' a true class bully.
Is it not obvious to that dumb bitch that if he goes to a school full of fuckwit jocks that he's gonna get picked on? It's too fucking stupid for words.
I can't stand bullies. They just had to go over there and fuck with him. And you would think after what he did with all the silverware, they would have just left him the hell alone. Dumbasses. Poor Powder, even though he must have been use to being by himself all of the time, I still would have went and sat and talked to him. He wasn't doing anything to anybody.
dumba** jocks, i swear some people are complete morons, they have no real reason to dislike this guy except the way he looks, this is what we as human beings have resulted to, hating some one without really getting to know them because of the way they look, thats have superficial we've become and its quite sad and the funny thing is even with his abnormally white skin he's more handsome than any guy sitting in that cafeteria and he's sweet and intelligent and thats even more attractive
yeah dude again...if he werent in such an ignorant ass white hick town, he would have been reassessed as a fucking genius...coulda went to a real big city college or even made millions of dollars...B.S.
Humans are like that, I mean I think that's how racism is developed. People fear things we've never seen before, in turn they're hostile. It's fucked up, but sadly true. This movie does a beautiful job of bringing awareness to it.
@ROXIO7 they don't get any satisfaction from it, you retard, they're actors. it's a movie, not a documentary. can you seriously not tell the difference between a movie and real life?
@LiloPelakai Edward Scissorhands didn't cross my mind at all when I saw him and that was a retarded assumption
and the point I was trying to make was everyone should be treated with kindness unless given a reason not to (for instance, your stupid ass reply does not deserve kindness :P)
Holy shit...if Jeremy walked around with his shirt off--or his pants for that matter---he would never have trouble getting girlfriends at least. Lol. Fucking sexy.
I would have sat with him. And as weird as this may sound, I think he's goregous. It breaks my heart seeing those meatheads treat him like that. and yes, i understand this movie isn't real lol.
I love the movie i no of a lot of really big guys that had cryed on this movie so have i the movie makes u think a lot about your self it really do an herley is an asshole
During the launchroom scene i would have went over and had launch with him. NOT LIKE THE OTHER GUYS DID! I mean just to sit and say hey whats up?? I hate seeing people alone
they laugh at us...u will repay for what u did!!!!
