I saw the BULLY movie this afternoon.
Lots of thoughts not sure how to put them all into words.
• This movie even with more swearing does NOT need an R rating.
• It's has a good message, but I don't think it's strong enough.
• The people who most need to see the film won't go see it.
• There was a lot more talking about bullying than viewing the bullying. It made the film drag. I'm sure it was difficult for the filmmakers to get permission to even include the footage they did have but seeing is worth more than hearing.
• What shocked me the most, was the attitude of some of the adults. Principal who lets the bully off because he apologized, but gave the bullied kid a lecture.
• There are complex reasons behind teen suicide. While reducing bullying would probably help reduce teen suicide, I am not sure few teens suicides can be explained by just bullying.
