elephant and this movie

ummmmmmmmmmm first off and foremost, Elephant being superior to Todd Solondz's Storytelling makes me laugh, and second off, to support that comment, you would have to be an idiot to think their was one tangible subject that could be taken from storytelling. Also, what are you talking about, their was no school killing in Storytelling. If your talking about the football player, he died because of fire, he wasn't killed from the hit just turned into a vegetable, and even if you were to consider the hit from the football player a death, how does an accidental hit compare to a planned school shooting. Also many many many directers use abrubt endings, it's not just labled to Gus Van Sant (by the way, great choice of producing Tarnation). Plus the ending of Elephant had the worst acting i think i have ever seen, the girl and the boy begging made it look like a car dealership commercial, the finale of Storytelling left a small crack in the viewer's frown (if the viewer took it the same way i did), I felt that when Paul Giamattis character runs up to Scooby and apologizes about the fire, Scooby believes he is talking about hurting Scooby's image in the film, and Scooby is so gone that he does not even place the death of his family over the fact that this director paraded the fact that his dream in no way seems in reach. In conclusion I am blown away with the fact that you probably think Elephant is a better movie because Storytelling is just so much more intelligent and better directed, I liked Elephant but I found myself not watching during the 12 minute shots of following a jock into the high school, it served no purpose. All that I take from Elephant is its ability to show what's real. ps, take into effect the non-fiction/fiction perspection of Storytelling, you might get it more.
