    Elephant ,a 1989 film by English film director Alan Clark (1935-1990)

    Interesting comment on Elephant here:

    http://wwwbillblog.blogspot.ie/2009/...-elephant.html

    a quote from above link:
    He wants only to show -- I believe -- that a human being who has set out to kill another human being has to go through the same old bodily motions that we all do in order to get there, that a conscious decision has to be made to kill, and more actions than the pulling of the trigger have to be taken, and that turning back is always an option. But in his film that option is never taken.
    those who did turn back are the better people.

    Ben Murnane was interviewed by Mat Cooper on the "Last Word" this evening. Here is the short film he mentioned. Stick with it for a while and you will see what Ben has overcome, and he still sounded better humored than many of us with less to complain about.
