"Elephant" Anyone?

Im guessing that this was inspired by the movie "Elephant". Alot of scenes in this where really similar to those in the film. The scene where they tell the kid in the parking lot that "serious shit is about to happen". The scene where the teacher runs and gets shot in the back and the kid says 'bitch'. Some of it was accurate aswell such as the "do you believe in god?" bit and the part where 'andy' comes up and they let him go(though i think the real kid had a different name).

Another thing I noticed is the music you used, its also from the film Elephant. I can understand being influenced by that movie, its really a mind blower. I give this cartoon a 7/10

Thanks for the review. Elephant is indeed a very good movie. However, all the situations in the flash were animated after research. The 'serious shit is about to happen' part was literally said according to wikipedia. The only part similar to elephant is the 'bitch' part.
The music isn't from elephant either. The main score is by Fernando Sor, a classical composer who i stumbled upon after browsing through my cd collection. The other songs have nothing to do with elephant either.
I think some people compare this to Elephant because it basically uses the same approach on the theme. A very nihilistic, almost documentary approach. I think this is the only approach that works for the columbine topic. Putting the emphasis on action, drama or personal opinion would ruin the movie in my opinion.
Thanks for the review

[The Most Horrible Story]

OMFG?!

LMAO!!!!!

If you think about it, this would be a really sad story if you werent telling it in that wierd high pitched voice with those hilarious drawings. If this is really a true story then... holy shit.

We're all going to hell!

bush is a moron

Evil, there is no such thing. Nobody can be pure evil, even Adolf Hitler had a wife and family, he enjoyed bird watching and sight seeing, Osama Bin Laden is no exception. Its no wonder the muslims hate us. Look what weve done to the holy land. War, Poverty, Terrorism, Fear, and the administration is still scratching their heads going "Der, weve done everything right. Why havent we won yet?"
Terrorism is an idea, as you put it in this flash.

Terrorism
TER-ROR-ISM
-noun
1. the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, esp. for political purposes.
2. the state of fear and submission produced by terrorism or terrorization.
3. a terroristic method of governing or of resisting a government.

#2:THE STATE OF FEAR AND SUBMISSION PRODUCED BY TERRORISM OR TERRORIZATION.

The entire western world is now TERRORIZED by the idea of a homeland attack, TERRORIZED by the war, and TERRORIZED for their lives. The governemnt is terrorizing us, they are the real terrorists. Even Osama feels bad for those who are dying in the war. Bush hasnt said a damn word to mourn the victims of this so called "war on terror". We're talking about a man who cant even pronounce 'internet'. You need anymore proof bush is an idiot? I know you dont, but here it is!
