Subject: Re: Guy walking through corridors??
Date: Apr 28, 2005
I think he is suppose to be the "hero". he walks into the class room where they are having the class discussion about identifing homosexuals through "gay" paraphernalia ie rainbows, dorothy and wizard of oz etc/ etc. He walks into that class room and helps them get out through a window then he stays behind. part of me also thinks that he was just the "tolken black guy" cast in the film for the sake of diversity. perhaps it was to just show that evryone was effected by it. the bulimic girls, the artist, the jock (the black guy was a star b-ball player), the outcast, and the lovers. but i'm not positive on any of it, it is just speculation and with a film as dynamic as Elephant everything is open to imterpretation.

Response to this comment:
Guy walking through corridors??
What was the point of the black guy (sorry I don't remember the characters name!) who was nonchalantly walking through the corridors amidst the carnage. I like to think of myself as an averagely intelligent guy, but I can't figure out for the life of me, the meaning of this scene? Any ideas?
