Welcome to the Dollhouse opening scene

[bobithasmitherson]

This movie is sad as fuck.

[DoctorChibi740]

The original Napoleon Dynamite... with a vag...

[megaswenson]

I lived this scene. Transferred from an elite Jewish school in LA, to a 'Christian Academy' (nothing to do with Jesus/everything to do with Football) in Shreveport. My year in Hell, esp. when I wouldn't do sports. But I did weight-train like crazy & came back from a summer in Sweden, tall, 'big', & suddenly muscular, & my bullies suddenly wanted my body (on the DL, of course). But family net worth had tripled & we moved to Mississippi & a bigger house/better school. Not everyone is so lucky.

[purplebanana1000]

Dawn looks so sweet.

[deactivated2011]

middle school was the worst and i really dont understand why people act like that but just mellow out later. maybe its puberty that makes everyone act like an ass in 7th/8th grade? who knows.

[TheMasterGouki]

school really is worst fucking time in a person's life

[oldgreggaliciousss]

this movie wasnt her in highschool, but middle school. same difference though.

[ValleyGyrlTV]

How ironic they called her a lesbo and I just read that the real life Heather Matarazzo is going to marry her female partner in New York.

[ValleyGyrlTV]

Man, if this wasn't the biggest advertisement for home schooling, I don't know what was. I feel this character's pain, I was a geeky kid and was bullied, but not to the extent that she had to deal with.

[Newreligion100]

@kurtywurty85 your kidding right, bullying is worst than ever, especially in middle school.

[problemgirl1238]

Chanting lesbo what r they 6 years olds out on the playground

[susiegupton46]

Thats rude my mom got called lezy loo by a lezbian.

[SusanBaudelaire]

Why did that girl say she made a pass at her?

[hisluckienstar614]

@SusanBaudelaire that girl looks like a lesbian not heather lol.

[Rowan07001484]

great film. very strange though. not exactly the same as my pre teen life. I was a bit happier. it was when I was a bit older, when school life became harder. i hated it. but it wasn't all bad.

[54lilmeme]

can someone please post the whole movie

[heavyshine]

it's me

[MaggieLovesJimmy]

Wow, some bad memories came flooding back to me. I sure as hell DON'T miss high school!

[thebjm1967]

i love this movie

[missyxxmischa]

gee it would suck to have to sit in a cafeteria at lunch time. 

[AGFashionAcademy]

lol school in the 90s is obviously different from now. if tht bitchy girl had asked me if i was a lesbo, i would be like "hell yeah. i have a HUGE crush on you. want a kiss?" with a whole bunch of sarcasm in my voice. :)

[omgeah]

@AGFashionAcademy don't say it with sarcasm. you should say it with conviction to show that you're thinking on a higher level than they are. they won't know how to react. scare them with craziness.

[doodl3bugg13]

This makes me want to cry.

[GenericChristJesus]

LOL LEZBO LEZBO LEZBO, this movie was both funny and sad at the same time

[JeJuIsland567]

will someone please repost this movie?

[shootthemessenger33]

Actually the actress who played her is a lesbian.

[Drakesxxgirl]

if that was me, you would have been looking at a bunch of cheerleaders on the floor screaming for me to stop beating them lol

[NoMind87]

The movie is great. Its so funny but so cruel and sad at the same time.

It so reminds me of my own childhood at school. I was exactly like Dawn - ugly and unhappy and unpopular. And my parents were exactly shallow like her mother.

I am happy Ive been gone through this terrible time and I am still alive))

[GenericChristJesus]

@NoMind87 Same here

[artkjj]

The history of my life!!!!

[deanleerip]

To me it I would say the girl who looks like a boy with the long hair seems and looks more gay then dawn.

[millicent1990]

she should of said yea u want me to lick ur pussy?

[borderlinecelebrity]

it's so strange. i actually think dawn is pretty. that's definitely an awkward stage, but even then it's still obvious that she'll be good-lookin when she's older. and ya know, this shit happens all the time in middle school/junior high. little immature girls think they're empowered when they use homosexuality as an insult to some poor sap.

[kikikyami]

I really think oprah should narrate this scene

[devils3332]

thats filmed in my school and were called the chiefs

[gaya1323]

haha. she said that scene helpd her realize that shes gay :)

so cute :)

[angerdraw]

her life is sad, people are just insensitive and she ain't ugly wtf? she doesnt deserve to be treat in that way. Sadly looks is the only thing that matters to most people

[dancediva100]

umm...this is my cafeteria...hahaha they even have our team name and everything except were caldwell chiefs not frankiln chiefs

[Hikaks]

i like this movie (:

[PyramidHeadOwns]

This girl looks exactly like I did as a kid. Creepy.

[JamieeTheGreat]

Did you know there is a sequal? And it explains Dawn kills herself =[

[geandily]

@JamieeTheGreat Why the negative thumbs for this comment? It's true! In Palindromes they talk about how Dawn killed herself

[Detth2you]

thanks for spoiling it!

[JamieeTheGreat]

No no!

That happens between the end of this movie and the start of the second, sorry :(

[Detth2you]

Stop it!! :[

[nagyaron86]

that cheerleader reminds me of Melinda Loveless... pretty weird

[ElectricShark]

@nagyaron86,

Yes! She does look like Melinda Loveless.

Melinda Loveless was a bit scarier though.

She was a real genuine sociopath.

[Sorchify]

@nagyaron86 Oh my god me too, thought that I was the only one to notice the eerie similarity!

[RachyRach991]

i can't hear what the mean girl said something "liar...." then the rest i can't tell my computer's all screwed up

[marmadukesymesparker]

"She made a pass at me."

[tellyisrubbish]

Poor Dawn

[Wolfgirl1998]

Somebody oughta rape those cheerleaders and then kill those bitches! MWAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAA! >-D

[cute2boot4u92]

is this a movie? or from a show? i never seen thise

[Wolfgirl1998]

movie

[tellyisrubbish]

I'd recommend watching all films by Todd Solondz

[LiveRainbow]

besides that the mean girl looks more like a mean boy. Someone needed to put her in her place.

[LiveRainbow]

this scene made me sad...I think you can always find one friend...i mean i would not have done that to her.

[2003myfavyear]

i feel sorry for her in this scene...I would have been her friend :) I didnt know Heather Matarazzo was gay in real life though!

[spideylover]

Fuckin' cheerleaders...

[luzmilale]

i saw this movie when i was 12 years old...:S..back in 1998

[shakedatazz87]

Oh wow good old middle school, brings back memories.and not good ones lol! Lets just say I am glad that middle school and highschool are a thing in the past...

[gdlzn17]

i hate cheerleaders they can just go fuck themse;lves cuz thats all they know what to do

who do you think the football teasm sleeps with?

i haTE THEM!!!

[cute2boot4u92]

i hate them too gdlzn17

[grayguy911]

Does anyone else find this scene ironic?

[marmadukesymesparker]

In what way is it ironic?

[grayguy911]

She's all insulted and upset about being called a lesbian and she recently got engaged to her girlfriend...

[urchinau]

Yeah I could see that. it's interesting in terms of her finding Heather's own identity, portraying this character and being aware of the subject. I wonder if she'd known yet that she was gay while playing the part and hadn't come out yet, since she was only 13. And if she ever related to Dawn as a character or not since Dawn was obviously interested in boys in the movie.

[grayguy911]

True...but it is really hard to find your own sexual identity at a young age.

[urchinau]

Well then I am confused as to how it is ironic since Heather's only playing a character...

[starinapapercup]

@marmadukesymesparker

I'm guessing because the actress who portrays Dawn (Heather Matarazzo) actually IS an out lesbian.

[SuperMinderella]

@marmadukesymesparker because the girl that played dawn weiner is really a lesbo. lol

[SuperMinderella]

@marmadukesymesparker because the girl that plays dawn weiner came out a while back and she really is a lesbo.. lol

[lifehappens]

@marmadukesymesparker LOL the main actress is a lesbian in real life.

[IdontS2U]

i guess @grayguy911 says it's ironic because Heather Matarazzo (Dawn) actuallly is... you know... in real life.

[BloodyCatastrophee]

@marmadukesymesparker because it seems like the girl at the table was already alone and perhaps seen as a nobody or something at the school, and now the girl that everyone's making fun of comes to sit with this loner girl who might be seen as a loser, too, at school or something, but now she's making fun of someone who might also be coming from the same place she is, and now since that cheerleading squad has backed the girl up on her bullying the other, she gets a certain sense of approval.

[Gr3mpy123]

@BloodyCatastrophee That's very inciteful of you to pick up on. I love this scene because it is exactly how people act in real life and not some idealized "after school" special where the two outcasts become allies and revenge on the bullies.

[BloodyCatastrophee]

@Gr3mpy123 Oh, well thanks! yea, it's the one thing I quickly took notice of, and thought "wow, that's insane. funny/interesting whom it's coming from." yea, this movie's pretty brutal in that regard.

[Gr3mpy123]

@BloodyCatastrophee It's not insane ; it makes perfect sense. If you look at the wider picture instead of blaming bullies and only taking pity on their victims then it's clear that the same social forces which form bullies affect everybody. There is no reason that the victim of a bully will not also bully someone else when they get the chance.

[mrfrogbutt1]

@Gr3mpy123 ?

[knobylob]

@marmadukesymesparker because heather matarazzo is a lesbian.

[BloodyCatastrophee]

@knobylob wow, I did not know that. :o I suppose it Is pretty ironic. hm! *surprised face* crazy

[knobylob]

@BloodyCatastrophee lol

[BloodyCatastrophee]

@knobylob haha =)

[gerbils4evr]

@marmadukesymesparker it's ironic because the actress who plays dawn is a lesbian in real life.

[philipsmog]

@grayguy911 yes, it is, if you're talking about Heather being and out lesbian now....just watched Life During wartime, worst film I have ever seen in my life and i liked Happiness.

[cuddlys34bubble]

@grayguy911 i don't see any irony. can you please explain?

[tashahb79]

@grayguy911 I didn't--until now!! LOL

[MizShye]

lol pwned XD

[wiglypuff]

Oh yeah. Found it now. Hope it'll work

thanks anyway.

[TheTrueMetal9]

-.- ugh that girle in the glasses look exactely like my step sis

[skippyproduction]

i hate how evrybody is middle school has to go thru this at one point,honestly kids like that need to stfu

[heylie13]

Middle School was hell for me Dx in 7th grade it sucked ass I was the ugliest thing in the world, in 8th grade it got better but I was still teased once in a while (even though I have lots of firends) but then I moved halfway into the year to Texas and school was worse there! Im a freshman in Highschool now ... It's worse Dx I hate my school everyones prettier than me =[

[krogdog]

Listen...EVERYTHING that happens in HS is meaningless. I moved to Memphis,TN when I was 12 and had no friends, but then I moved 1000 miles away for college and it felt like the biggest breath of fresh air in the world. So hang in there...HS is not the real world (especially in the South).

[ThisIsStupidist]

@krogdog this is middle school....

[hellomeimei22]

@krogdog haha! i went to school in memphis and know exactly what you mean!! =D

[kurtywurty85]

@krogdog Not true. Just because you didn't have a single friend, that doesn't mean that everyone goes through that. I feel like times have changed because I don't see bullying occur that often at my school. Most people are friendly and even the really weird kids (myself included) have at least a few close friends. I kind of drifted apart from my middle school friends during high school and a lot of bad stuff happened that same year...even though things were sh*tty they were still meaningful.

[JustSiouxMe]

@krogdog I have heard some horrible horrible stories about what school in the south is like.

[EnForwardslashAy]

silly bitch should've gone to hassan's kebab van

[TheLocNess]

Wow...the cheerleaders AND the goth kids are against you?? That chick was sitting alone, and still had the nerve to be picky.

[Wolfgirl1998]

Dude! Dawn would've made a school shooting to these motherfuckers! Or better yet, be like Carrie and do telekinetsis to those mean motherfuckers! I know what middle school is like! It's a bitch! O_O I'm not fat or anything like that but they make fun of me anyways 'cuz they're a bunch of fucktards who have nothing to do but make other people feel bad to make themselves feel good. Assholes!

[Wolfgirl1998]

Or better yet, they should kill these bitches like how Angella Baker does to the campers being mean to her on Sleepaway Camp!

I can't wait to get those trilogies on DVD for my birthday this March! Wolfy's soo happy!(That's me! ^_~) ^-^

And why do they call her weinerdog anyways?!?

I like daschunds, you bunch of hate mongering bullies! ROOOOOOOOARRR!! I even got 2 pet wiener doggies too. ^-^

[Wolfgirl1998]

Oh wait I see why the call her that. Her last name is Weiner. Whatever!=P

[catdudeenemapants182]

the little girl looks like kurt cobain.

[Wolfgirl1998]

Ya know what? She kinda does. Is she like Kurt's sister or something? ^_^

It's sucks that Kurt died. I felt sorry for him. Sure, he did some drugs. But I also think it's Courtney Love's fault too! He married her and then she made Kurt's life into a living hell and then that happens! Kurt shot himself!

DAMN YOU COURTNEY LOVE! DAMN YOU STRAIGHT TO HELL, YOU FUCKING CRACK WHORE!!!!o__O

[Soviette]

Holy mother of god, you're annoying.

[Wolfgirl1998]

What are you talking about?

[Wolfgirl1998]

Oh. Well fuck you, you little bitch! O_o (stupid youtube should've organize the replies in the first place next time!)

[Soviette]

Hahaha okay I changed my mind. Only because of the "fuck you, you little bitch!". Sorry for calling you annoying.

[Wolfgirl1998]

okay. ^_^;;;

[FrostedxRose]

wow.  it sucks that kurt cobain died, and courteney love is a whore, but do you reply to every comment that is slightly negative?

[Wolfgirl1998]

Uh no! What's your point?!

[FrostedxRose]

you managed to carry on a pointless argument with Sovietter, debating whether or not you're annoying. But I'm not going to say anymore, cuz if you reply, then my whole point will be stomped on. Tootles.

[Wolfgirl1998]

It just did. You sound like a fucking emo pussy who needs some sense of humor! Otherwise, go cut yourself and die, BITCH!!!! Tootles to you too!

[FrostedxRose]

well, allrighty then. before I go, can I point something out?

[Wolfgirl1998]

No you may not

[FrostedxRose]

whatever you say. tootles

[Wolfgirl1998]

Yeah fuck you too and good riddance!

[FrostedxRose]

It was nice hearing from you again. tootles

[MissDaliciouZ]

thats funny cuz she actually is a lesbian in real life

[BleedingBeauty13]

Omg I found that out when I was reading and interview with her and they're like "So do you have a prince charming" (or something like that...they were talking about Princess Diaries) and she's like "No, but I have a PrincESS charming!"

[JReed1985]

You poor baby Dawn Wiener, you looked so cute in the movie no matter what other people think.

[alpacino185]

all of Todd Solondz movies are messed :D lol
