I've just seen Ben X, which is to movies about kids and bullies what The Passion of the Christ is to movies about persecuted messiahs.
I've also just seen Choking Man, about an immigrant who suffers mockery at work because he doesn't speak much English.
There are very interesting parallels between the films. Both films involve the active fantasy lives of the persecuted heroes, and Jesus Christ plays a prominent role in their deliverance.
So I'm thinking about movies that depict youngsters who suffer from relentless bullying.
What else comes to mind?
