The We and the I

Best material if you're teaching about BULLYING.

Perfectly pitched and written. So much to relate (and not) to. Plus the rejoicing you get through and at the end of it thanks to the rounded characters' evolution.

Yes, I'm being super biased. Who isn't.

I'm hardly write a review, but I feel weird why this Gondry's movie doesn't have any. He is the greatest director of the 'Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind'. So, this movie is about a bunch of school kids who just done their job and this will be their last bus ride as a school kids.Many things happen and what's fun is everything happen on the bus, love, bullies, forbidden chit-chat, family and many more in this 110 minutes movie. For me, this movie is just simple, like just an experiment of Gondry to make something different in teen movie. I love to hear their conversation,as real as their use their real name. Some scene look predictable and stupid but it's still fun, I'm enjoying myself. This unrealistic beautiful carnival!

Bullying, asenine behavior, kids with no supervision, or guidence in their life acting like morons and engaging things they are not anywhere near ready for. It shows the sad state of affairs for a of youth culture. The most striking thing is perhaps the absence of any adults. And it's not these kids fault they are like this. Whoever is responsible for them has not done their job and I suspect this movie is all tok real even though it's compacted a lot of this in an unrealistic small bubble. Social media and technology aren't helping kids like this, it's purely detrimental. It's kinda hard to get through this thing because it's very boring and annoying and lacks direction, but I think that's probably on purpose to show the chaos of the teens life. Either way, it's a depressing image of a generation without much hope that is exposed to and live through a lot of things that kids just shouldn't be and are mostly without respect, values or a future. Just sad.

I just saw this film. It was interesting film. I kept thinking it such a long ride. I had the feeling they were bused from Long Island. I kept thinking that these kids would have hidden some guns in the bushes so when they got mad at each other. Someone would have gotten shot. I thought that most of the kids are in jail or dead, I watched it on tape and because they didn't go hear some of the dialogue.

i have to say that all the kids who played roles in this film just looked natural and performed well. but when i watched this film i also felt deeply disappointed and in despair. watching those kids riding a bus to their high school and what they did and talked to each other or among them only proved one thing: no wonder our American's public high school education is a total failure. looked at those kids in this film, they just looked like a bunch of thugs-in-progress, males or females, they were all the same. there was no one in this film looked well educated. there's nobody in this film worried about their future. those boys, they were a bunch of bullies, young thugs or just lamers. those girls, their conversation really gave me a nauseating feeling. water bras? this is American higher education in the making? is this what we got from high school education? i've tried so hard to sit tight to keep watching it, but every scene, every word or sentence of the dialog disgusted me to the extreme. i just wondered why we have to pay for these thug-like, hole-like kids with a daily free bus ride to school if they didn't and couldn't learn anything from it? this was one of the worst viewing experience i've ever had, maybe just because it was so true, so ugly and so purposeless of our public high school education. i think that only the kids from such bad high schools would enjoy it completely, because it's what they are doing every day right now, not just on a school bus. i was told how bad the education systems in other countries are, but at least they didn't produce so many young thugs like what we saw in this film. there are so many kids in lot of countries they couldn't have normal education when they grow up and really want it, but we American kids just waste it for nothing.
