REAL
FOR US, is a story that follows several high school students from the
bully to the bullied and to bystanders.
The audience will get to experience what it is like to be bullied
from their peers and allow the viewer to better understand how bullying
is much more. Even though each of the students receives different
measures of bullying, whether verbally or physically, we see and hear
what they are going through and the emotional toll it is having on them.
It begins to show how those being bullied start to retreat from everyday
living and no one seeing the signs they are giving. The audience gets to
hear the inner voices of how they are feeling and how it makes them feel
the same regardless the type of bullying. Both are feeling isolated and
alone.
To
help get the audience to understand more, we see things from the
bystander’s point of view and what they are thinking.
We begin to learn the role of the bystanders in how they allow or
prevent bullying. The bystanders are portrayed by their peers and
adults/teachers. It shows the wrong way how you deal with bullying as
well as the right way. The film concludes with hope. The kids being
bullied learn that finding their voice can help put a stop to bullying
behaviors and is supported both by their peers and adults.
The
film is a process of all the aspects of bullying and all of its
behaviors which climax with confrontations and decisions of life and
morals. We see all the characters better understand what they are doing,
what they can do to help and more importantly, have a voice for what is
right. |
