critics of this film
check out the posts of most of the people who didn't like this film...then think about the memorial film that robert made that was rejected and the new version that was shown to the students. robert's film was very raw and minimal but much more powerful than the new version...the students were shown the new version that contained superficial and shallow comments about the twins set to music. the people who are so harshly putting Afterschool down are much like the students who all clap at the end of the new version of the memorial film. most people would agree with them too...audiences prefer superficial and shallow movies for the most part. when they see a film like Afterschool, their reaction is much like the the schoolmaster who views robert's version: "Is there something wrong with you? I'm very dissapointed". it's just a good thing that there are still people who make movies that are not carbon copies of the movies that most people want to see...otherwise, every trip to the movie theatre would be just like the lame memorial ceremony at robert's school..."Okay, now everyone make their way to third period class." now everyone make thier way to the latest romantic comedy...we promise it won't confuse you or make you angry or disturbed in any way. we absolutely promise it won't make you think.
