Plot – Spoilers:
Bobby and Marty have been best friends since childhood, but their relationship is dominant-submissive. Marty hates that he is regularly beaten up by Bobby, but can’t summon the will to shake himself out of the abuse. His passion is surfing and while he’s pretty good at it, he’s all but given up on the dream. But things begin to change when he meets Lisa, who questions Bobby’s dominance and plants the seed that abuse need not be permanent.
Bully is based on the real life story of Bobby Kent and is one of Larry Clark’s better features thanks mainly to its talented cast. And while it is based on factual incidents, it does a great job of capturing how easy it can be at a certain age to plan and plot something extreme, and yet how difficult it can be to pull it off successfully. And also how each character deals with the pre and post-incident nerves.
Random:
Director Larry Clark plays the hitman’s Dad in a couple of scenes.
haunting song at the end. marty definitely did not deserve what became of him
Nick Stahl man….what a performance he gave in this as Bobby Kent!!!
He deserved it but the ending was cool with bloodshot…damn
This movie was good to watch and it’s crazy that it’s true. One thing there was never a time that they didn’t have a cigarettes or a joint in their hand. Also you never give your kids too much Freedom you keep them in an activities and you know where they are at all times these kids were able to do whatever they wanted they were bored
dumbest ending have no sense
This movie is so great !!
Man, I kinda felt bad Bobby, I mean yeah, he deserved it, he was a hellish-manipulative no-hope asshole but still, it was coldblooded (wow).
Crazy to thing that actually happened !!
Still, great movie, the teens are not really likable and not the smartest (fav had to be the hitman), but still recommend !! >:^]
This incredibly movie is like a kick in the face.
god yisus this was a real good movie. it reminds me of Natasha Cornett and her friends. THIS MOVIE IS GOLD
narcissistic rapist pig, glad to see him die.
damn.
The rape scene and murder scene are seared into the back of my mind.
similar to Kids but even more haunting. glad he got killed but still i have no idea who to feel bad for
The ending was so random!Good movie
MAn…. When I watch Kids, Bully and Gummo, i’m completely horrified that some teenagers lives this way. Is this real America? I never seen anybody acting so fck up when I was young.
One of my favorite movies of all time.
Why didnt he just hit him back lmao hes a smaller guy
slick and sleazy morality tale quasi-high school drama works for me – and this honey pot is cool but for the absurd upper right reminder – put me on the list
Marty has no balls whatsoever,should’ve just cracked that Bobby in the fuckin mouth a few times & dropped him in the beginning instead of taking his shit & this whole sorry fucking story couldve been avoided,buy no be a pussy,get slapped around cry & get your little bitch friends together & shit goes pear shaped,when you couldve just punched the prick in the teeth & stood up for yourself,every person in this was an unlikable cunt & they all got what they deserved
I want you to suck my ballz
I guess they ended up doing away with Marty’s original convection and now have him serving life in prison. Bobby was a fucking prick, imo.
Dumbest criminals ever, enjoyed the film tho
I love this movie its so much deeper then it seems to be fair 10/10 everywatch
