If you like film noir, then I think you'll like this film, regardless of the fact that it's teenage characters in it.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-82582184903573445022012-06-24T19:57:57.951-04:002012-06-24T19:57:57.951-04:00Hmmmm...

I'm sure it was a tough sell for the distributors, since they couldn't market it as another run-of-the-mill teen flick.Barry P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11251536316431708240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-36781105373936460082012-06-23T12:56:00.776-04:002012-06-23T12:56:00.776-04:00Thanks.

It was obviously an adult's view of them. It hasn't really gotten better over the years. I agree that this movie is refreshing in that it shows teens as serious people.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-74831195642373635892012-06-23T12:54:00.392-04:002012-06-23T12:54:00.392-04:00Thanks.

I agree that having Brendan be able to span all the various kinds of high schoolers because he wasn't in a particular clique was a good choice.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-40008549870607195632012-06-23T10:15:15.725-04:002012-06-23T10:15:15.725-04:00Brick is an AMAZING movie - combining that that ha...Brick is an AMAZING movie - combining that that hard-boiled noir style with high school.

Well, not really, but it still was cool to see high school kids act as if they were all adults, in one big film noir. Thankfully, it worked and I can easily rank this among one of my favorites from JGL.

For me, it was a huge personal moment as I was among a group of loners who didn't fit in with any kind of clique in high school. We hated the popular kids and it felt so good to see the popular jock get his ass kicked in front of the school.<br /><br />I wished I had done that to everyone I hated in high school.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
