Spijt!

It is a heart-ranching movie that should be viewed all over the world. It shows what the extent of bullying can do. Just a few years ago a small boy was killed by bullies. which made world wide news. Another good movie is Pay It Forward, where the kid is not bullied but gets killed by bullies when trying to save a bullied boy.

It made me feel really sad and reminded me about all the movies,books, and true stories about bullying that i have seen,read, and heard of. I don't cry at movies but I know it must be vary sad because first i felt it, and second every girl in the movie theater was crying. I hope you all watch it.

Thank you

The title says it all. This movie focuses on the backstories of the bullies to give their bullying a reason, I guess. Highly inappropriate. Also, BAD acting, even worse writing. Kid gets bullied for being fat? Let's help him eat healthier, as he needs to improve himself to stop the bullying. Like, what the... do NOT let your kids watch this :')

I had high hopes for this film and they came true.

the movie I'm really shows a good picture of bullying and not only from the background of the bullied , but you also get a good look behind the motivation of the bullies and how difficult it is to sit in a classroom and not say anything against it.

The acting, I found very good, The story even better.

at times the movie is different from the book, but not in a negative way

I give this movie 9 stars, and I hope that this film will be shown in many high schools

You might remember a few months ago I reviewed a title about the summer camp prank. The movie was called 'Standing Up' that I loved a lot. This movie is kind of similar, but deals on a different issue. Absolutely an important movie that discloses the most common trouble faced by the physically weak students, especially loners who were targeted by the bully boys. It was based on the book 'Regret!'. That is why we need more novel adaptation that deliver the messages to the younger generation.

The story was narrated from the perspective of a high school student David. He also a member of the band called 'Point Out!'. David in not a boy who interfere with others affairs, like a quiet one he's focused on his studies and other activities. He has a crush on his classmate Vera, and so she's on him, but they never expressed to each others. In between their secret affection, a fellow mate called Jochem comes into the scene. He's fat and have no friends, which mean an easy prey for the tyrant of the class. As the school days progress Jochem makes friends with David and Vera, individually. He begins to spend some time with them, but that does not solve his problems. With a little misunderstanding between the three, the story reveals what they had failed to recognize, the seriousness of the situation.

''You should drink water instead. It's healthy. And it doesn't stain.''

Recently kind of I'm attracted to the Dutch movies. Saw some of the best movies and every time with the new movies my interest and expectations on them are growing. So that is how I came up with this movie, an awesome movie. Well, this movie theme was good, a very good movie to educate school and college students about what is right and wrong. Like you know by now it was about bullying, the movie displays what had to be shown. With the blend of little hide-and-seek romance track and music in few parts.

Bullying is fun for some, but it is a crime, especially if it ends in an unexpected way. To create such trouble the story takes time to advance that kind of looks a drag in the tale. Well written screenplay, which concentrated around three characters. Each of them were so good in their respective roles. This kind of message movie is what I expect from Hollywood, because Hollywood movies can reach all the corner of the earth. I hope dubbed or remake version will do justice to the truth the movie tried to tell. A movie not to be missed, especially if you a parent to the teenagers.

"Spijt," a Dutch drama film based on the book by Carry Slee, tackles the sensitive and pressing issue of bullying with a poignant narrative and compelling performances. The story revolves around Jochem, a teenager who becomes the target of relentless bullying at school, and his classmate David, who struggles with his own sense of guilt and responsibility.

The film's strength lies in its realistic portrayal of high school dynamics and the impact of bullying on both the victim and those around him. The young cast delivers heartfelt performances, particularly Robin Boissevain as David, who captures the internal conflict and emotional turmoil of witnessing his friend's suffering.

"Spijt" is visually striking, with a style that underscores the emotional gravity of the subject matter. The director, Dave Schram, handles the difficult topic with sensitivity, ensuring that the film is both engaging and thought-provoking without being overly didactic.

While the film can be heavy-handed at times, it succeeds in raising awareness about the consequences of bullying and the importance of standing up against it. "Spijt" is a significant film for teenagers and adults alike, offering a sobering reflection on the impact of our actions and the power of empathy.
