"A Special Place" Virginia Tech documentary preview

forgiving. It might very well not work, but it'd be well worth a try. Last thing- the people I feel most sorry for are not the parents of the victims, but rather the parents of the shooter.

@Dougieslittlejoanna I know exactly what you mean. I think about his parents too. The South Korean ambassador apologized for him being from there. Just imagine what the parents must have thought. BBC did a very good documentary/profiling of him.

I wouldn't want to make him any more mad by glaring at him (or her) and such, I would like to believe that I would react in the same way that I would react to any other person who is going through much pain; with patience and (cont. #2)

I've been thinking on this recently. I've been thinking about why the shooter did it. No one just wakes up one day and randomly decides to kill people and take their own life. He felt alone and I've only recently realized how alone he felt (don't worry, though, I have VERY strong standards with postulations on why not to do that). I was thinking how it might feel to see people's reactions if you were the shooter. Then I thought about how I would react if there were a shooter in a (cont.)

Quite an experience. Looking forward to see the finished work. As I noted before, I like the picture in picture effects that you apply in your editing.

[filmester]

[princeword]

@filmester I feel that when I finish my thesis I can dive into it a lot more, doing little here and there doesn't work, I need to bury myself in the material to really figure out structure (which I'm sure you know everything about) :)

Happy New Year ester
