This film is tragically beautiful for many reasons.
Dominik being this boy at prom just doing something on a dare. Now, I have to admit Alec took it as if it was more than that or maybe Dominik got the wrong picture. Yet, they go on the internet and talk about his so badly which makes him not wanting to go to school.
Then on a virtual chat with this girl she just sort of feeds a lot of things to him on he needs no one and make the bullies fear him.
One thing that's realistic and give it a great film is the acting..highly convincing. Gives the characters life. It's sort of fresh to see because of that virtual chat room. The animation involved as if he was actually seeing the girl.
Also, the scene where he takes the gun to school is very gripping but he doesn't do anything to anyone. Dominik just wants friends and having a lot of mixed feelings about life (maybe sexuality) and how kids are cruel, they don't get you and they're judgmental as ever. His parents got on my nerve throughout the entire movie but after therapist visits is when they out their foot down. I also hated how everything he does if isn't up to a certain standard or how they want him to be than it's 'wrong' and it's really sad that some parents are like this.
It's not the typical 'i hate my life, i cut myself, i wanna die' type of movie. In ways Dominik knows he'll get better and the ending is so sad because well... I don't wanna ruin it if you're reading this. Dominik makes you want to hug him through the TV.
It's just a great powerful film, it peaks volumes and also a great soundtrack too. I've watched it too many times. It really is worth watching.
score 10/10
