A kid. A bully. A brother. A brothers friends. A girl/friend. A plan. A life changing event. I Watched the trailer for this film for 2 years. I still remember the afternoon when I viewed this powerful film about a teen just trying to look after his brother. A film about the consequences of our actions. By the end it was hard to move and even harder to forget. The cast had some of the best chemistry I have ever seen. SPOILER WARNING: The most powerful scene is after George dies and all sit quietly. No music. No talking. Just silence, shaking, and blank stares. Then as the score begins the yelling and arguing does as well. They dig a grave and go home. In the end the dead teenager speaks his view of life on the videotape that was retrieved. His simple words get the last lines of the film.
