our straight a's were our passport to freedom. as long as we got great grades, our parents didn’t care where we were.

*i will try not to give too much away about this movie...

blt was commented as it's dazzling, it's shocking, it's unsettling... i agree with the shocking and unsettling but not quite dazzling. it was shocking to see the first scene opening with a dead body-it made me wonder could aa high schoolers actually commit murder? the story begins with ben maniberg (the main character) and his super duper high school life--achieving everything, anything by volunteering as a spanish translator at a hospital, employee of the months at a fast food joint, straight a student, etc...as the story builds, he and his friends become a notorious "asian gang" by doing all sorts of favors and making loads of money. they experience all the don'ts and ben puts a stop to it after experiencing an o'd. early in the movie you see the group going through aa stereotypes with classmates which i am sure all of us have gone through. it's interesting how they deal with it. of course there's a girl who is pivotal throughout the movie and leads ben to a breaking point. at the end, it made me shocked, dizzy (camera angles!), and a lil' bit disturbed and i was in a rotten mood (prolly due to the time and lack of fud). i have never seen a movie quite like this hence, it's an indy film. i can't say if i like this movie or not. it's something all aa's should see because it's the only one of it in this generation. hopefully blt will break barriers aa stereotypes in "hollywood" and give aa actors the parts they deserve!
