The Truth
The negative reviews which are here seem to echo the theme of "insult" and "horrible". No, it isn't. The movie itself is simply a window into a world which really does exist, only in much more explicit and terrible fashion at times. If you are offended so greatly by it, then set about to do something to help end it. The movie makes no judgements, but leaves them up to the viewers. Don't insult the movie. It is but a doorway into a world most would never dare to enter, but so many teens do. The real insult is the life which is led by those real-life teens(and adults), which this movie captures so truthfully and hauntingly. It is a bit like Saving Private Ryan in one respect. It is grim and horrible, but because of the general masses, it couldn't be made to depict just how awful it really was--and is.
