Strong, Very Strong

Rating: 9/10 (13 September 2004)

For one that was harassed at school, this was strong - very strong. I can relate to being the one everyone were pecking on, being tricked and everyone laughing. I was "lucky" and ended up in the nicest class at our school, so I was treated with some degree of respect, but still - I know that feeling and it does make you want to get even.
Being a fan of Stephen King and Brian de Palma I must say this movie really has not lost its sting. There are very few movies from the '60s I can really say I like, most of them are trash. This one is in my opinion far more emotional and cruel than most movies today. Not having a standard Hollywood ending does really help too.
