我们都曾是霸凌者

一个令人难以置信的“巧合”让这位电影制作人联系了他的五年级班级和五年级老师，检查他们在五十年前的欺凌事件中的印象和同谋。

While the stop motion animation, collage remake and the use of past footage is performative and poetic in some sense, the underlying ethical issue, surrounding the reproduction and “tedious repetition” of violence and bullying, is raucous despite the lighthearted music, and particularly when interviewing the class teacher, reaches its peak. What the filmmaker cares more is about reviewing both personal and collective memories of grade school. Still dealing with his own survival guilt, he manages to use expository lines to provoke empathy among audience, making them reflect upon their own nebulous grade school memories as part of the bullies. The filming and editing act itself might come from a redemptive standpoint, but results in a sarcastic self-delusional cycle, where there is neither outlet for guilt, nor resolution for the still-existing bullying around campus. 4/5
