Let’s Get Real - Film on Bullying
Film Review – April 15, 2004
New Day. 2003. 35min. $99. CC. 888-367-9154. Gr 6-8. The format is simple, honest and oh-so effective. Numerous middle school students talk about bullying and harassment. The “n” word, tar baby, Jew, faggot, gay, homo, geek, dork, fatso, retarded, diaper head, big ass, and dog are just a few of the names the kids have been called. Colorful graphics, pulsating background music, and classroom and playground footage (one boy is intentionally knocked off his bike) accompany the head shots. Various bullies speak, too, including one who admits he “likes making people mad.” A few students tell how good they felt after they stood up to bullies who were harassing others. Comments expressing a desire to shoot the bullies or “kill myself” are frighteningly realistic and heartbreaking. This can’t-miss discussion starter is highly recommended for both school and public libraries. Includes guide. -Sue-Ellen Beauregard
