Easily become one of my favorite films
I've always have this grudge against bullying. This film speaks to me so well as I know what happens in this movie happens in real life everywhere.
I have never understood why people feel the need to bully others who are different from them. This movie captures so well the herd mentality behind this. A lot of people would help bully others, despite feeling sick to their stomach themselves about their actions, because they don't want to look different, don't want to be isolated by others, or don't want to suffer some form of loss. There is no such thing as the right time to do the right thing. A lot of horrendous things such as persecution and massacre has taken place and grown because many people fear of being singled out if they were to do the right thing.
