Bully (2001)

Very best movie i ever watch

Too much of everything

Sadly Over-hyped

Powerful

The movie is actually alright. But it is an EXTREME white trash movie. Everyone one is so ghetto and raunchy in the movie.

A pack of naïve teenagers conspire to murder a mutual friend, whose aggressive demeanor has proved too much. The crazy thing about this film is that it actually got a 7.0 out of 10 here in IMDb and don't get me wrong if you liked this movie that's fine i'm just stating my opinion here which is this. This film is pure garbage it was boring and full with nude sex scenes that are stupid, the main characters were dumb especially Nick Stahl who gave a pretty bad performance, the dialogue was also pretty bad and the actors acted like they were stoned or something. Also the whole plan with them trying to kill Bobby Kent seemed really dumb too this is a film that took only 23 days to get made and it definitely seems like it but like i said if you thought that this was a great movie that's alright but for me this was just a huge porn parody with bad acting and an awful script and in the end "Bully" is just an unnecessary movie (1/10)

To keep this review relatively short, I'm just gonna say that at least in the dubbed version, which of course takes away from the performance of the actors, the mood seems to be pseudo-extreme throughout the movie. There are too many shots that try to provoke the viewer and fail to do so. This wears off rather quickly as well. Maybe 2013 is just too progressive in comparison to 2001. There are better movies and series that explore the transformation of a normal person into a bad guy. Wouldn't really recommend (anymore?), only if the OV significantly improves the quality of the dialog. I might give this a second try, though, because this dub seemed to be especially awful and I would like to compare the versions.

'Bully' gives the viewer an insight into a group of maddeningly awful young people. They communicate in ways that is an affront to the English language; their diction is an ugly mess of incessant swearing and pseudo-ebonics that's punctuated with an exasperating misuse of the word 'like'. Worse than their lexicon is their degenerative lifestyles – they're lazy, feckless, horribly ignorant and amoral. They've become so rotten, warped and stagnant whilst living in their scummy Floridian microcosm that they seemingly think their behaviour is acceptable. Well, they probably haven't considered what's acceptable or not as they don't *think* about anything. The film, which is based on the true story, starkly reminds the viewer that there are people out there who are this scuzzy and revolting.I wanted to hate the film because I hated every character, but the characters were clearly purposefully constructed to be that way. To hate the film for its ugliness could be deemed as missing the point, it's a depiction of extreme adolescent degeneration, I suppose it's something of a cautionary tale. Its chief success is how it portrays the ugly messiness of violence; it covers a spectrum of emotions from its characters during the visceral, realistically unpleasant climax, a scene that's very well constructed by the preceding twenty minutes or so.However, Larry Clark's trademark perversion is all over this film, paying gratuitous attention to the bodies and sex of the teenage cast. It's ultimately rather one- dimensional; its narrative of murder is captivating, but its study of reckless, idiotic culture is quite suffocating. Its absence of any somewhat relatable characters and presence of many detestable ones overshadows the film's acting and engaging murder plot.Although it does deserve a degree of commendation, there is ultimately little incentive to watch this film. 'Bully' is another lurid Larry Clark film that smacks of attention seeking.62%www.hawkensian.com
