The Toronto Star is reporting, in an article by a Peter Howell, there, that a new film, Elephant, on the Colorado Columbine school shootings, is being received with "acclaim" at the Cannes Film Festival.
The director, Van Sant, who did Good Will Hunting is portrayed as "openly gay", and that he doesn't want to give any predetermined judgements on the shootings, in the film, preferring, he says,
"I do have my own ideas about why something like Columbine happened, but some of those things aren't really in the film," said Van Sant, measuring his words. "I was really trying to get at more of a poetic impression, and to sort of allow the audience's thoughts into that impression, rather than to dictate an answer or a reason."
Alluding to the rumor that the two shooters were possibly bullied, and were homosexual lovers, "Elephant" portrays the two teenagers in a shower, kissing each other.
Okay, so, does anyone know, is it true, or has it been confirmed, that this was the actual case--i.e., that these two kids were "homosexual lovers"??
If so, could we safely say there's been a media blackout to that effect?
But then, if there's been a media blackout(b/c the media are mostly sympathetic to the gay cause), how would we ever know, except for some underground source??
But then, why else would they storm the school,, shooting their classmates? Isn't it typical that sexual vice, hates to be discovered or exposed and would therefore react this way??
Plenty of us got picked on in school, maybe even beat up.
