One of my friends got the year 7s in our school (not sure what the American grade equivalent is, 11-12 year olds?) to do one of the tensest scenes in Fight Club 0_o The one where Tyler holds a gun to the head of an innocent shop assisstant. Watch that scene for a masterclass in how to do tension in film.

That's hilarious. I wish my middle school did plays in the first place. I know a bunch of girls were talking about doing Hamlet at one point, but it never happened. And even the plays in high school weren't like this. We did shit like Grease and Annie. Bleh. We also did Dracula and Little Shop Of Horrors, but that was awesome.

At first I wanted to cry, considering what was being performed, but then I remember the plays we were exposed to when I was in school. Death of a Salesman, The Great Gatsby, Romeo and Juliet, even One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I think I may happily remind any blowhard that if they try to bash the school for this.
And it was quite hilarious. That blonde girl I think had Miss Piggy as an acting coach. She was the best!

I might be in the minority here, but I think that this is probably better than the original.

I hate that awful film.
Count yourself not alone. There is no way I would dedicate myself to over two hours of that...two minutes as done by elementary school kids, that's better.
Now be a good boy and have your malk.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA this is bad ass! terrible acting, if you're gonna step it up to scarface, you better bring your A game out. I don't care how young you are.
I can't tell whether you are being sarcastic or just plain stupid; how can you possibly expect kids that age to act as well as Al Pacino?

On a side note, words fail me to describe it; one one hand it is amusing to watch six-year olds talk about death and coke, but not know about the birds and bees; yet on the other, it feels strangely wrong to let them stage-play such a classic film.
I'm being quite sarcastic, or more so making light of the odd and almost sickening situation we have here. Personally I am against children (younger than let's say 10) being exploited in movies or plays in such a manner where it involves adult themes, such as the video above, but I was quite disgusted at the fact that someone thought this would be fun and funny, and even more disgusted that the parents and other PTA adults let it happen in the first place.

Fair enough; I got a bit worried there.
I truly thank you for your concern :) I haven't slept in two days and trying to maintain my normal mindset, my sarcasm fails me without sleep apparently :p

HUH...

Someone missed something here.

The teacher didn't go, "This might be a bad idea."

The principle didn't go, "The school might get sued for this."

And no parent, hearing, "your child is going to be in the elementary rendition of scarface," went... "HUH... um... this sounds like something someone might decide not to do because of the potential repercussions."
