after watch more than 4000 movies, this one caught my attention.after Reading the plot, i had a minimum of curiosity.10 minutes after the beginning there was some movements from the movie, that caught my attention until the end. this is because i normally see only half of a movie, and than the other half the next day.off course, along the movie you star wondering to whom is going to happen.when the film is going towards the end, the twists begin.that's when you pay even more attention, and watch an unpredictable end.for me, the movie is wheel written, and very well shot.good directing, good characters. the characters even show almost all type of students in high school.8/10

As i am very interested in psychologic subjects, i liked this film so much. From the beginning, you can feel the pain the people experienced and try to find out is the starting related to this person or another one... i felt upset because of the faces that film contains. Every person had some stories and the way of sharing these were very sad.Besides, The soundtracks of the film effected me very deeply from beginning to end. The icons that were used in the film were also very attractive. The tree,for example, as i looked it i see the lives that mentioned in the film as leaves of the tree. Every cases were the matter of time on its own. Every person had a reason to be upset or to kill oneself but only one had the courage to do that. They had so many issues and problems in their life but nothing can be more hurtful than not being noticed. It is the biggest kind of pain. So, the more pain one feels, the more courage you find inside of oneself.

Sometimes all of us may think that we have many problems in our life and we may think we are the most unlucky human in the world. After i watched this film my opinion has changed. At the end of the film, indicating the reality of the film is really impressed me. That is why my opinion has changed.At the beginning of the film, they let you know there is a suicide and then the film tells you about the six teenagers and their psychological problems and you want to learn who is the suicided. It makes this film more enjoyable and it makes sensation.There is a girl who helps everyone. She is the most lively person. You may think she is the person who has the least psychological problems but unexpectedly she commit suicide. I think she commit suicide because of being ignored and unnoticed. That is really unguessable ending.

In the late 1930s and early 1940s, Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland, et al., tried to present American high school as a la-de-da-da musical experience in the ANDY HARDY bushel of movies. Though life did not turn out to be a bowl of cherries for either of these stars, that did not prevent tons of subsequent high-school-is-such-a-happy-place, we-all-have-to-sing fairy tales including GREASE, FOOTLOOSE, HAIRSPRAY, the HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL trilogy, the current GLEE television series, ad infinitum from being foisted upon the public. Just as millions of high school football concussions go a long way toward producing an all-volunteer military, thousands of singing 20-somethings posing as teenagers lull parents who have repressed their own prep memories into thinking maybe school ain't so bad nowadays. Conversely, high school as one big party was epitomized with FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF in 1986 (perhaps to ease the minds of parents realistic enough to admit their kids can't carry a tune). However, many kids would rather "play" in Jigsaw's torture warehouse than attend their assigned high school. From the twisted societal pigeon-holing that messed up Natalie Wood and Warren Beatty's characters in SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS (1961), to the horror show director Richard Kelly placed DONNIE DARKO in (2001), or the Columbine re-imagining Gus Van Zant accomplished with ELEPHANT (2003) and subsequent effort by Vadim Perelman to layer in the futility of youthful religious zealotry with his THE LIFE BEFORE HER EYES (2007), it is clear that high school is more something that happens to you, as opposed to something you can control (as in Andy Hardy's unrealistic refrain "let's put on a show" to solve every problem, or the implausibly unpunished charmed lives led by Ferris Bueller's ilk).In the masterful 2:37, director Murali K. Thalluri consciously adopts Van Zant's story-telling style to show the underside of high school life "Down Under." Accurately portraying high school as a cesspool of hypocrisy and callousness where children are finishing the job of transforming themselves from comparatively innocent short people who tell it like it is into the self-centered liars society expects them to become by graduation day, 2:37 deftly reinforces the notion that it's the quiet ones you have to look out for.
