Bully (rated R)

If your childhood was anything like mine, you were pushed around a fair bit during your school years. Over the past 10 years, however, "kids being kids" has gotten to the point that the victims of such treatment can be driven to attempt suicide. And what's even more shocking, the administration turns a blind eye to this sort of behavior in the more publicized cases, and the victim eventually snaps. Maybe some of you have heard of the story of "Little Zangief", an Australian child who was caught on video performing a fairly impressive piledriver against one of his tormentors; others of Hope S. Witten, who took her own life in response to the physical and emotional torment she suffered.

The point isn't that these cases happened. It's the fact that these cases are far from unique. Well, The Weinstein Company hopes to change some of that with the March 30th release of Bully, a documentary of a year in the life of one of the projected 13 million American kids that will find themselves with a target on their back as they wander the school halls. Bullying can and does have permanent, life-altering effects on those that receive it. I should know. If you know someone that may be in a similar situation--or you may be in a similar situation--you owe it to yourself to go see this movie. And possibly pester the MPAA to knock this down to PG-13 while you're at it so schools can have a shot at screening this.

The only people that extol the virtues of war are those that calculate its cost in material things.
