The Makiav3llian Enchantment…

I just watched Drillbit Taylor and it actually is a recommendable teenage comedy movie. However some aspect of the movie actually is a bit disturbing as the movie’s main plot centers on school bullying. The protagonist actually hire Drillbit (who happens to be an ex-military homeless guy) to teach them to protect themselves or get even. Everything actually is funny until the last part where the three protagonist decide to fight it off. The antagonist go to such extremes that it drives the guys of the edge and this is where things become scary and an eye opener.
The 18-year old bully tries to run them over with a car, publicly humiliate them and the sorts that would make your blood boil. The worse thing is that the school system doesn’t seem to take matters seriously when the boys bring their parents in. At the end, no one gets killed, Drillbit loses a pinkie, bully gets sent to Hong Kong to see his parents.
I just hope that people actually understood the message portrayed here that we need to stand up against school violence and these types of bullying in to lower levels of our school system. It all starts there as well as proper intervention by parents or guardians at home. Bullies are mostly adolescents having problems with their up bringing and so they release this rage and feeling of power up on their schools. This should be sorted out before it goes out of hand. School shootings that have happened in the past may have had bullying or school humiliation as a catalyst and these are things which are preventable.
