Ok young people, it's time to have a serious conversation. Sometime, to be a teenager, it's not so easy, when Larry Clark deals with it, it could be scary... But calm down, it's just fiction... or not !
When i saw "Bully" for the first time, i thought that it was so exagerrated. A big provocation to shock the "bourgeois", but finally, this film is more interesting that it seems.
Sex, violence, drugs, no sense of reality,... This is the daily life of Larry Clark's teenagers, but if we observe that like a metaphor of teenage's primal sensations, it's a fabulous point of view. Indeed, young peoples want high sensation, to be borderline and "Bully" can be also a fable. What's happened if socials rules disappears, if teenagers would be to give their selves up. It could be a big tragedy. "Bully", it's the story of a band of friends who decide to kill one of them in reasons of his agressivity.
This film isn't a moral tale, Larry Clark is here to put us in front of violence of human nature. A violence who is exacerbated during adolescence. Teenagers is for this director a good illustration of the innocence and its contradictions. A teenager could be guilty ? Even if it doesn't know what it did ?
This movie is hard, violent, but there is a kind of compassion to watch this young guys totally lost. Maybe, there is nothing to understand, but we're watching the worst part of human being, when life cost nothing anymore...
In the other side, "Bully" is permanently the most pessimistic Larry Clark's film. We can ever find a touch of hope in every film, but in this case, let me tell us that's hard ! Other script from the same director like "Ken Park" or "Wassup Rockers" weren't comic too, but we could see a light in the dark, a touch of love and human compassion... But "Bully", it's not the same story, and it was inspirated by a true story who take place during the 90's.
At the origin, Larry Clark is a photographer, and through there story, he wants to show us violence who can hide behind images. Let's see what is the true life of young peoples...

I haven't seen Bully, but I both love an hate the other Larry Clark films in their Nan Golden disturbingness. He touches notes that ring too true, too close to reality and yet too painfully so.
