 "Bully" by Larry Clark, based on real life event   ***half

I only watched half of it.

As a movie, its not boring, you keep on watching.  But the film is so sordid and has such a sad and shabby take on life, that watching half is enough.  I dont want to use my life time to watch the rest.

This movie reminds me of a mix of white trash and middle class white people - who are likely to be racist.

With such a large context, reminds me of how tough it is to grow up in middle lower class North America, without suffisant accessible ressources and with little support -and often negative resistance from their own kind.  (Look at the Marty character, but here, its not quite convincing to me, a big guy, kind, but fatally flawed because he has a weak character.  But he is v kind to others, the young little boys look up to him due to his surfing skills.  But surfing as the father of Bobby says, is just useless activity - useless as in cant make a living from doing it.)  But Marty thinks its fun and thats something.  Marty has the prospective of an aristocrate who does not think in terms of how things works, but how to live life as is, to amuse only.

The reality of these people are miles away from the very constructive workaholic Asians.

The two do not cross paths, and its just pure sadness.
