Contains spoilers of, well, what the film's about:
"“STRUCK BY LIGHTNING” - Feature Film

Status: July 12
Location: Los Angeles
Producer: David Permut, Steve Longi, Glenn Rigberg, Jason Michael Berman, Mia Chang, Roberto Aguirre, Mark Moran

Summary: Carson Phillips (Colfer) is dead, struck by lightning in his high school parking lot. Unappreciated during his lifetime by his family and friends, Carson was a sarcastic young man of letters, a needling shit disturber who dreamed of getting out of his cowtown home and becoming a real live writer. But after he’s gone, his fellow students realize that he was more than just a maddening gadfly with a merciless cutting wit. (July 12 - August 4)
This is, um, wow.
Colfer's clearly not trying to hide at all what the real subject matter of this is, because this is clearly predominantly autobiographical.
"a sarcastic young man of letters, a needling shit disturber who dreamed of getting out of his cowtown home and becoming a real live writer"
"more than just a maddening gadfly with a merciless cutting wit."
CHRIS, BABY, WHAT WHAT WHAT ARE YOU DOING.
(Apparently the school name they use is only two letters away from his own high school).
My god, I really hope he doesn't cop shit for writing this, because he still has so much anger from high school, and I'm pretty sure if those people haven't worked it out already, they will now. Also, can I hug him now, please?
(I'm not going to be able to cope with this movie, am I. Oh god.
That's provided it even shows in an Australian cinema anywhere, that is.)
