What statement is chronicle trying to make?

[The_Amazing_G]

This movie toward the end actually really scared me because it was really frightening to see a character self-destruct like andrew did. I felt like it was a metaphor for any kind of power, such as a school-shooting, or someone using a bomb. I really didn't want to be alone after that movie, because all I could think was "what if that were me, or someone I knew?" Also I feel like it was stating that there is no such thing as evil, only misunderstood. amazingly well done movie, convincing acting and great pacing, as well as above-average cinematography. The special effects weren't bad either. This movie is definitely made my top ten movies of all time that I've seen list.

I just saw it and it was rather disturbing to me too. It's definitely going beyond the whole "the bullied turns into the bully so watch out" thing. But I'm not quite sure what it's trying to say, maybe something along the lines of "Don't become like those who've hurt you?" Maybe?

That absolute power corrupts absolutely? I haven't seen the film yet, but that scene looks like a standout in the genre.

I am aware of that, but understanding feelings toward a movie can enrich the experience. who would want to miss out on that?

I'm not entirely sure what you're saying. Please elaborate.

This is a rule that people trying to examine a story never seem to remember. I laugh at people like that.

I usually react by claiming, no matter what the work in question actually is, that it's a complex, subtle metaphor for the early years of the Soviet Union. Never fails. I once got a guy to accept this reasoning on a book that was written in the 1800s.

1) Spoilers much?
2) You didn't want to be alone in case of spontaneously developing telekinesis?

I haven't seen the film yet, no idea what happens, but I think having super-freaky mind powers would be the coolest thing ever. Yes, I do think I'd end up going a bit off the rails but it doesn't bother me or anything.

This is fine, since my family will jokingly answer any question we don't know the answer to with "Battle of Hastings, 1066".

I did not give any spoilers away that the trailer did not.

That if you ever get telekinetic powers, become a Buddhist xD. Honestly I'm not sure. Then again as HAL10,000 said, not all works of fiction need a moral.

Look at the bold text. It's the first thing you see when you start reading. Common sense was your spoiler warning.

Oh man, I would totally abuse the poop outta' unlimited power. Absolutely corrupt me, already, I've got plans to, uh..plan(?) and stuff.

I would be the dark jedi that make the sith cry like Anakin in the prequel movies. ALL WOULD LOVE ME AND DESPAIR!

I dont care how crappy your life is

as soon as your hurt innocent people you lose all sympathy from me

then they are not "innocent" HOWEVER that is a very grey area and most of the time violent revenge isnt right

my point is if Im walking down the street and some super asshole throws a car at me..then then I dont care if they were bullied because then they are somthing worse, somthing horribly pathetic

Your point does seem to make a lot of sense, but because I'm on the Internet, I am compelled to ignore it. (o.~)

Oftentimes I tend to see people in that situation as things to be pitied and even sympathized with, to a degree; but keep in mind I'm not talking about justification here. As someone who was bullied at a young age (and even now, sometimes) and has bullied back I know that it is almost never that we get to exact our revenge on the ones who deserve it...but woe be unto him/her who unwittingly crossed my path at that wrong time.

well yeah I actually do "pity/ sympathise" with charachters in such a situation

its just the implication of becomign evil through those things, peoeple saying "yeah Id totally be the villan" is somthing I find very disturbing

when Imagining myself in such a situation I hardly ever see myself as the "superhero" just the normal person getting on with their life..THOSE are the ones I always think about
