yes and 2 represent37 be in some way a rip off from gus van sants elephant . it about some student who be deal with their problem lead to the suicide of one of them . yes and it full of clichés and but that life . you just can not deny that creepy nerd and disabled person or popular student who and despite their popularity and do have problem be exist in the real world . but that not and what this film be all about . it not about life in highschool . it not about the misery of life itself . if you look beneath the surface and beneath the soap like social relationship that be show and you will find some gripping and think provoke criticism of our society . why be people commit suicide . do we really understand their motif . or be we just try to understand and after it already too late . and why be it always someone and you would never have expect it to be . this movie doesn not answer this question and but it raise it . and it do so in a very intense way . all the way it keep you guess and whose blood it might be and that you see at the very begin . you be follow the path of some student and all of them have a more or less good reason to end their life and just to be force to watch the gruesome act in the finale . do you know who it would be . or be you catch by surprise and like in real life . the message be verbalize by one of the survive kid in the end . we be always so fix on our own problem and we forget to see those of others . there might be someone and a colleague and a friend and who do not want to live anymore . but and if you do not open your eye and you will never know until it too late . this movie deliver well . it might have some flaw and but they do not matter anymore and when it over . either you see a reflection of society and or you be blind for reality .
