  • The drive from 2:20 to 3:00. No loud music, no Marilyn Manson. Nothing.

  • For those complaining about all the walking, we are following that given character and becoming aware of the atmosphere. It is not just "walking," but an asset to this film. I personally don't need action or jump cuts every few seconds. I know how to focus and pay attention when watching movies. Otherwise I'd be watching an action film that doesn't require me to think or process anything.

  • Why is everybody so fucking nonchalant?

  • Benny the black dude tried to be a hero but failed miserably.

  • if i wasnt on a timed schedule, i would definitely watch through all the parts. plus my computer is acting slow, but im pretty sure it was more in depth than some guy walking through the hallway, as some of u put it.

  • why did he make them gay?? i ask gus van sant every time i watch this, is it just a way of humiliating harris and klebold? or does it have something to do with gus himself being gay?

    anyway,i thought it was really out of place, they just started kissing each other in the shower, im not a homophobe, but i really dont want to see that shit

  • @thewhitezombie666 There's more to it than just a simple kiss dude. 

  • @thewhitezombie666 People speculated a reason for Eric and Dylan feeling so marginalised was them being gay. In this movie however, these characters aren't gay. They kissed each other because they had never kissed any one before and would be dying soon, so they wanted to experience what it was like.

  • @pproduction123

    that seems a little inadvertantly homophobic in itself though, dont you think? it seems like p.c. conclusion to push the anti bullying agenda as far as they can.

    plus i see no signs whatsoever pointing to them being gay, erics been in relationships before (really), and dylan allways wrote about wanting to be with a girl.

    btw, the act of two males engaging in romantic physical behavior is gay by definition...so theres that

  • @thewhitezombie666 I'm just giving you facts. It was speculated on, even in the media. It's pretty baseless but who cares. People speculate all kinds of things about these murderers and you want to get bent out of shape that people seriously thought they were gay? As far as this POS movie Elephant. The interpretation is that either the characters wanted the experience before they died, or they actually had true feelings for eachother. I don't care either way the movie is trash

  • @pproduction123

    im not getting bent out of shape, its fine.

    but why do you watch a movie you think is trash? (unless of course this is your first time watching)

  • @thewhitezombie666 They're not gay. They've never kissed before so they kissed each other because they wanted to experience it before they die. Even if it's gay.

  • @thewhitezombie666 they're not gay, they've never had any girlfriends and they wanted to kiss for the first and last time, and ofcourse you wouldnt ask anyone if youre being bullied.

  • This is such a brilliant film with so much attention to detail and it's a shame most of you just skip to the 'good stuff'. There's a good reason that most of it is just 'walking'.

  • This is bullshit, they are meant to arrive in separate cars.

  • If just finished converting all of the parts to the movie and haven't watched any of it on YouTube. This shoud be inspiring.

  • WHY THE FUK IS THE BLACK GUY JUST WALKING AROUND LIKE A DUMBASS?

  • @herpderpmonkey it is just his adventure explorer spirit okay? leave him alone!! haha xdd

  • @herpderpmonkey cause hes not part of the system! he threw his fear on the ground!

  • @herpderpmonkey hes deaf, watch the fucking movie retard.

  • @squintykiller ... wait a second. So all the people who liked my comment thought the same thing or was it rather because they realized it was complete sarcastic douchebaggery? I'm confused....

    Wait a fucking second, there's a big ass fire from an explosion and he sees kids running away and out the windows and trails of blood and dead bodies. Then he goes and walks up toward the fucker with the gun. Nigga must've been blind as well for fuck's sake...

  • @herpderpmonkey Holy shit guy, pipe down. The reason i said that was because, well, as you probably already know, half the people on youtube are fucking 13 year old's or just plain stupid people. My bad though.

  • Not saying this is a bad movie, but you really have to be of a very specific and certain type of audience to thoroughly enjoy it

  • Comment removed

  • "robert's got a quick hand

    he'll look around the room he won't tell you his plan"

    "all the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run better run, outrun my gun"

  • I'm sorry ya'll, but it's kinda hard to take this movie seriously. It looks to cheap and the acting is horrible.

  • Comment removed

  • " most importantly , have fun" lol

  • Why did that one kid shoot his friend? I guess he was afraid he'd do the same thing......

  • why didnt he shoot the guy with the camera ? lol

  • did anyone else notice when the kid looked out the classroom door and got shot that his clothes where completely in tact

  • I love that people are explaining Benny's actions by "he's deaf." So seeing people screaming and running, dead bodies, and a fire causes him no sense of alarm? Being deaf doesn't make you retarded, so maybe he was slow or something.

  • This is so stupid. There's screaming and fires and shit and everyone is walking around like it's normal

  • Half of the movie you're watching someone walk.

  • @NeverLoseAdventure The visual style of this film is based heavily on a film of the same name from 1989 about killings in Northern Ireland. The steadicam scenes of people walking are supposed to express 'ineluctible lines of fate that converge devastatingly at the conclusion.'

  • @NeverLoseAdventure half?nah 5minutes is probably amount of the time they're talking :D

  • @ a lot of the comments. This acting is fucking great. This is what real people talk and act like. Life isn't composed of lame and over-the-top Hollywood spectacles. Held together by carefully wrought dialogue. This movie is actually art. And that means here is a piece of work you actually have to engage with. Here is an American film that actually doesn't cum all over your face at the expense of cognitive and emotional fulfillment.

  • @poetryiscool

    exactly, i say the same to people who hate on david lynch, be patient...its fucking worth it

  • I liked their disguise the most, I mean you can't even tell they are the shooters

  • And this planning went on for a day? Eric and Dylan planned for around a year and still weren't completely successful!! It's way more complex than that! It's not that casual either!!!

  • @NeverLoseAdventure and you know this why?

    

  • @xjoe1988x they did not go bowling.

  • i love this movie but the acting is horrendous

  • @xjoe1988x That's a worthy reply. Go Bowling.

  • Bad fucking acting +directing the two friends in the film are like super casual about planning and carrying out the whole shooting. It's like..

    "The bombs didn't go off?"

    "Oh fucking well"

  • Comment removed

  • the acting's fucking terrible

  • jfc how many people did these two kill D:

  • @xjoe1988x A. It's not a documentary. B. it's not composted by Moore. C. The first thing they did, if you're going to be a smart ass, is shoot the couple outside in the grass. There's a ton of inaccuracies in the film. But it's not about them. It's about a situation similar to what happened in order to make an impactive point about what has happened in real life.

  • shittiest acting ever

  • the only part i was confused about was why in the hell the black guy was just walking through the halls all calm and shit even when people are dying on the ground, there are doors and lockers on fire, and shots are being fired. then when he got close to one of the shooters he just kept walking calmly and got shot...... did he have some type of understandment problem?

  • @WeAreMUForever cos niggers are dumb

  • @WeAreMUForever I'm black. A real black person in this situation would dip the fuck out after the first shot. I dont know what this guy was doin.

  • not as a negative comment towards the movie but i feel like these people should be you know, more concern and freaked out then what they really are in the movie. some people are just strolling around while are still have normal conversation. i would think that everyone would go nuts and panic. at least thats what i would do.

  • theres a fire and the black guy is acting so calm wtf

  • @noxbluebutterfly tyrone is, deaf dumb fuck

  • @noxbluebutterfly he caused quite a few himself

  • im confused did the boy with the shagggy blonde hair kno abt them abt to cause a shooting cuz he was like dont go in there and stuff

  • why are people so calm? some act like nothing is even happening like the black guy. im so confused

  • This was based of of Columbine , yeah? I can't even imagine how terrifying this would be.

  • WTF kinda school is this, the movie is terrible at the shooting scenes, they don't even react real its soo poorly done

  • For some reason, I thought Benny was hard of hearing but um...I guess not.

  • "Hey sir- Sir don't go- Sir! Trust me just don't go in there, please. Don't go in- Fine." lmao

  • Benny reminds me of that 1 part in Wayne's World 2

  • holy shit, these guys are crazy.

  • It Pisses Me off When its Only Boys Who Are Shooting.

    Girls Are Badass Too!

  • @dawnxgary1238 Badass at making sammiches

  • @mitchmcmichael lol xD

  • and they never go and call the police hahahha

  • wow its kinda funny the way they react and they hardly screem hahahah

  • What the hell, Benny?

  • does anyone see the guns???

  • I want to see what Plan A was! That one must have been much better!

  • Am I a bad person for laughing at uggers getting shot?

  • @Travisthetoaster What kind of stereotype are you talking about *scratches head* ignorant dumbass.

  • Did it not occur to this young gentleman in the yellow to run across the street to use the phone and call the police? I mean, I get he's in shock and didn't think straight.

  • i like how the black guys was just strolling threw like...meh...

  • This is why people think we're stupid, Benny. Dumbass.

  • Wow That Nigga Gunna Sit There And Take A Picture When Its Obvious They Have Guns! Tf?

  • Benny is a dumb ass Nigga

  • i dnt understand why didnt they give a shit when that guy died??? no-one cares bout death ova there wow thats sad x

  • Benny might be a negro, but we have a rule...if you see people run...START RUNNING WITH THEM

  • Comment removed

  • @dylanmo91 he was high

  • @dylanmo91 Of course he doesn't give a shit, probably hated the school as much as those two.

  • Anyone notice that it's sunny when they're in the car, but it's raining and shitty when they're walking into the school?

  • How is Benny so Nonchalant about this O_o he's walking by fire and blood with a look like "This is completely normal."

  • Benny wasn't scared cause he used to hearing gunshots

  • @badgirlsclubhoe LOL!!!!

  • WORST. ACTORS. EVER.

  • wait why did that guy just take a picture of them and that one girl in the red was just like lalala

  • ....6:15 MAJOR UNDDERREACTION .If I was someone get shot, I would freak out a LITTLE more than this teacher.

  • benny is brave

  • okay.

    these kids are busting a mission, bout to shoot up their

    school and their so casual... like wtffffff xD

  • 1:40 Did he just say "most importantly have fun with it"? O.o

  • Why so incredibly calm?!? D:

  • It's disturbing that 10,000 more people watched part 7 than part 6. Which means 10,00 views are from people who just wanted to get off on the shootings.

  • @AnsarisMusic no necessarily. Some people just wanted to see how close it resembled the actual shooting that happened still sad but also some people were just bored w/ all of the walking lol

  • @AnsarisMusic prolly because there is more walking in this movie than in all three of the LotR movies combined.

  • Acting sucks in this movie

  • Why doesn't Benny just leave?..

  • He is so emotionless when he is killing also why is the black acting all casual about this stereotypes..

  • @whatupsof LOL ikr

  • Lol why is everyone acting like nothings going on? He guy in the yellow just walking around like he invisible!

  • why is that girl in the red talking to them normally when they are clearly holding guns?

  • what is up with the dude in the yellow shirt he just hearing people screaming and gun shots everywhere and he just keeps looking for the two guys, dude just asking for a death wish, walking around like nothing is happening.

  • @goodjob81 He was looking for his dad. his dad was in the school

  • is his dad an alcoholic or something?

  • Lol 5:27 man surenders

  • fucking crazy bitches

  • @XSlevenxXx yeah

  • They even had a devil air freshner.....

  • I hate how short of an attention span everyone has. Unless a movie has Vin Diesel and Angolina Jolie driving a Corvette out of an explosion every 3 minutes, everyone gets bored. The movie is REALISTIC and in real life, people walk down hallways for a long time. If you don't want to see walking, then go watch one of the twenty Need for Speed's like all the other braindead youth.

  • @000000111 Oh my god i love u

  • @000000111 exactly what i was thinking! thank you!

  • @000000111 Tell me one Need for Speed movie. Shows your ignorance.

  • That dad is having one hell of a day. Wakes up drunk in the school parking lot and next thing he knows WW3 is going down in the school. Too much whiskey, better sleep it off.

  • "NATE, GET UP!!!" lol

  • this part was terribly acted

  • Why were the people sitting in that meeting room pretending like nothing was going on, and why did they act like that kid fell down for no reason.

  • @ihaterabbits696 as someone who lives through the dawson shooting in montreal, your body just become so in shock that your brain is like ''this is not happening for real''

  • wtf was the black guy doing

  • @sleapyrusher on his way to get shot

  • @sleapyrusher He might be deaf

  • ''Most importantly, have fun man'' pats him on the shoulder smiling.

    LOL WTF

  • just imagine.....if they got pulled over. lol

  • @RussianCommie666 Or even crashed.

  • @FlamingParanoiaSpoon

    Into John's dad.

  • I don't get it...

    Sometimes the guy in the yellow shirt has blonde hair & sometimes he has black hair..

  • @PORPH Er. Roots?

  • @FlamingParanoiaSpoon

    Nope.. Not roots...

    It was two different guys in yellow shirts.. ,,,

    Two different guys....

    Wow..

  • @PORPH ok, ok! wasn't sure if you were being sarcastic or silly : )

  • really black guy? dead bodies, gun shots, fire, people running, no lights and you're still going to walk calmly and silently? this is where you geet the fuck out.

  • hmmmm this librarys so boring i havent got good shots all day except for john. Click* ooh two guys with guns! photo op!

  • have fun man, WTF?

  • wtf first u see ppl runnin then a fire & u walkin all calm ......smh

  • @BreXO24 Nothing must excite him. Must be a mental illness.

  • WOW! this guy in the yellow shirt is not black!.. when black ppl see other ppl running they automatically start running too.. its science! LOL smh! What a mess! Everyone in this school is oblivious!

  • @FeedmeJUice he is black so he is used to hear gun shots and shit he aint scared i bet he felt like he was home

  • @FeedmeJUice Personally, i think Benny is a symbol in the film. A symbol for the light in the darkness. I mean yeah, in reality he's retarded but in this movie, his prescene serves a higher purpose.

  • @antboyatUtube uhhhhhh... ok. lol

  • @FeedmeJUice I'm just saying, Gus Van Sant does things like that

  • @antboyatUtube I find your comment pretty racist, but funny. xD

  • @aaron93m lol I'm not being racist I'm serious. The darkness is the chaos that is happening all around him and the light is him helping the people get out the window. Oh and I'm black btw.

  • why are they doing this, is it because eric got picked on or something?

  • @TheMeekgurl Probably the same reasons as the people who they're based off - Harris and Klebold

  • @Zeugirdor994 lol oh okay, i just didnt understand it with the parts where they are walking around, and eric shooting his friend

  • @TheMeekgurl This movie doesn't build up much of a story. I'm guessing Eric shot his friend purely out of the fact that he was running out of people to kill.

  • @Zeugirdor994 lol, yeah it doesn't make much sense, and that's just dumb for shooting your friend, just because you run out of people to kill lol

  • @TheMeekgurl I suppose if they were both ready to die, which it's implied they were, it wouldn't matter too much, eh?

  • @Zeugirdor994 lol yeah, but the part that was alittle off was when he just shot his friend in mid sentence without saying any last words to him lol. i was thinking they were going to commit sucide together at the end

  • @TheMeekgurl It was never supposed to be sentimental. (Just mental). Even the shower scene was nothing to do with sentimentality. They were capable of killing ordinary people in the school, so why not one another. What difference would it make to them?

  • i dont understand what's the black guy doing, why doesn't he leave? those guys have guns and there are lots of dead or injured

  • @liliz03 Curiosity? Shock? And he gives the camera something to focus on and follow, so the audience see what's happening. Maybe.

  • thumbs up if youve every wanted to do something like this

  • LOL what the fuck the black guy is just strollin' with bodies and blood and a shit storm everywhere. that's fucking swag that is.

  • k....what i don't get about this movie is how the boys are walking around armed with guns, after having already shot some people, and yet there are people just walking around them calmly like they aren't even there. did that bother anyone else?

  • they asses slipping running and slidding and shit this is funn

  • why the fuck he shooting these niggas

  • This is a very well done movie. Gave me chills when I saw it the first time.

  • RIP Columbine victims I will never forget you :'(

  • @FlyRalphie fuck that remember erik and dylan they where the real victims

  • i cant stop laughing at the reaction of nate getting shot "nate? nate? come on nate. nate?get up nate"

    problebly not good that makes me laugh but whatever

  • @thewhitezombie666 they thought he passes out at first... there reaction changes after see the blood trail

  • Why are all those kids running past that big black kid without saying anything? Wtf.

  • this is based on columbine right?

  • dude. all the people they walked past with their guns didnt say anything or even tell! they walked past 2 i know! and if i was captain yellow shirt out there, id be freaking screaming they were in there with guns! id be trying to save some lives!!!

  • @OllieBear984 Easier said than done

  • @pubehead92 no. it can be done. people dont think. they fear for them selves. ive saved more lives than one in my short 17 years. all it takes a regular person to be a hero. ive saved people and animals. ive saved friends and family. ive thrown kids into ditches with a drunk driver before i even thought about throwing myself. ive put myself in the way when my brother almost went through the wind sheild. ive talked people out of suicide in one little night. all it takes is selflessness.
