great acting but seriously WTF IS WRONG WITH THOSE GIRLS TRYING TO SLOWLY POISON BOYS? and before people blow up on me i know they sorta got the idea from a book and i know its acting.
It bugs me that they keep saying it was the Grandmother poisoning them. It was Corrine-their mother. Olivia-the grandmother was bringing the desserts to them, always warning them not too eat them because it would "Rot their teeth". Corrine admitted to poisoning them.
"Even though civil war was really bad, it was also good because it brought around change, and, you know, if it wasn't for change Nadine might be a slave."
@WhiteFlowerLei76 yea it seems like the writer was clearly pointing out the folly/idiocy in them saying that - it's an offensive statement but it clearly works to develop those characters as contemptible, hormone ridden, irrational yet not self-aware at all girls.
wow, thats not really how i remembered junior high. i mean the girls that i knew who did try to talk trash knew that once they put up that snobby clique front they were in for an ass kicking, it mighte sucked but geez at least my friends and i knew how to stand up for ourselves
What are you guys saying? the acting was great. They came off as awkward middle schoolers like they should.
I'm glad someone posted this I was too young when they aired this and didn't understand it lol. I thot they were high schoolers, and mom said it was disgusting and turned it off.
This is my favorite short film ever! I haven't seen it in years! Only further proves you can find everything on the internet! This movie is so real. 7th grade girls are sl like that!
I though this was kind of juvenile, most because of the poor acting, though the storyline was a let-down as well; romanticising childish feminism or 'girl power'. Coppola made an incredible leap from this to The Virgin Suicides, which is admirable.
@minusthebrittany i agree but part of me thinks that the acting isn't even that bad - i remember being 12 or 13 and i remember everyone being affected and bizarre just like these girls - it's that thing of in one way really wanting to fit in and/or stand out but not having the self-awareness, self-esteem or means to do either of those things successfully and just looking like an idiot instead.
This short is fucking great. Definition of cool. Love Coppola. And for dummies who didn't get the message, what goes around comes around. Junior High sucks ass. I fucking hated middle school.
the acting's kinda flat 12 year olds are more, well more they're louder talk faster, would've gotten on my nerves more! lol! but I feel like you can see sofia starting to use music as the big story telling device that it is now in her movies.
don't get me wrong I love it. but they just seem I don't know... sedated for 12. I was a spaz, but i'm a spaz now so I guess that's why. lol! but yes I can't count how many times "that's so gay" flew out of my mouth.
well for the purposes of the film it's kill the rats backwards but if you think about it lick would be "kicl" not "kill" and "the" wasnt reversed so the only part of it that works is the rats.
to whoever said thats crap, think about it. not only does it show how the queen of the clique is such a strong influence but then how she shortly becomes hated because of gossip and of her cruelty by a backstabbing friend and it also shows how cruel 7th grades can be.
that's so gay
