I used to be fascinated with the psychology of antisocial behavior, but gradually it just became baffling and depressing. Oddly enough, I enjoy encountering it in books and films, though -- especially movies. Go figure. :-)<br /><br />Interesting comparison with Trainspotting. :-) Begby ... now THAT's one of the scariest movie characters I've ever seen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-24176219521999977392013-07-09T09:52:39.709-07:002013-07-09T09:52:39.709-07:00You prompted me to check out Ebert's review of...You prompted me to check out Ebert's review of American History X. I love the way he described Roth's character in MIB as a "truly satanic skinhead." That's pretty accurate. Trevor is probably the scariest kid I've ever met, with in films or real life. My respect for Roth skyrocketed while watching this film, and I was already a fan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-73399180664590257212013-07-08T18:16:15.348-07:002013-07-08T18:16:15.348-07:00Wonderful post!

I can't wait to check it out!Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596682195753811295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-57719080516674014192013-07-08T12:19:56.235-07:002013-07-08T12:19:56.235-07:00I'd find it really difficult to succeed at, or...I'd find it really difficult to succeed at, or even get through, such a job. However, the psychology behind anti-social behaviour remains so interesting. <br /><br />I'll perhaps make time to watch this film :) It makes me think of Trainspotting, although that's probably overlooking so many individual details of each film!Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15103141646225036708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-67727357136677269082013-07-08T06:27:58.796-07:002013-07-08T06:27:58.796-07:00I'd forgotten you're a social worker.

If you decide to watch this film, I'll be very interested to see your reactions. :-)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-44303185545863929902013-07-08T06:27:26.560-07:002013-07-08T06:27:26.560-07:00It's interesting that you mentioned that. I wa...It's interesting that you mentioned that. I was thinking, as I was writing this post, that it reminded me of your style. You and I both tend to digress a bit and include personal details in our reviews. With the "yays" and "boos," yours are a bit more detailed and a lot more entertaining, though.<br /><br />And I probably ripped off the idea of using a movie quote as the title of the blog post -- which I do occasionally if there's a quote that grabs me -- directly from you. So all I can say about that is that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." Hah hah!<br /><br />Honestly this is well worth seeing for Roth's performance alone. Seeing a 21-year-old Roth portraying a seriously disturbed 16-year-old who is off the chain ... well, it's pure pleasure. That may sound a little sick, but you know what I mean. ;-) I can understand that this might not be your cup of tea, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-59946082614311173242013-07-07T23:48:03.767-07:002013-07-07T23:48:03.767-07:00Steph, this is a excellent post.

Love to see how <i>you</i> relate to the film!<br /><br />As for the business at hand, I will likely never see this, but I can't help but smile at the thought of a young and reckless Tim Roth. <br /><br />m.brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14457418128925003938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-5237074238567292082013-07-07T19:22:41.705-07:002013-07-07T19:22:41.705-07:00I work with teens (and in some cases, tweens) in a...I work with teens (and in some cases, tweens) in a rehabilitation center, and I can relate. There are some kids that really want help and want to better themselves, then there's the ones that are just coasting through. It took a bit of time for me to realize that. Not everyone thinks very rationally. Either way, I've never heard of this, but I'm instantly interested from your review.
