Welcome to another video! So today I wanted do a review on the movie “Mean Creek“ which came out in 2004. ABOUT: Mean Creek (Source - Wikipedia) Mean Creek is a 2004 American independent coming-of-age psychological drama film written and directed by Jacob Aaron Estes and starring Rory Culkin, Ryan Kelley, Scott Mechlowicz, Trevor Morgan, Josh Peck, and Carly Schroeder. It was produced by Susan Johnson, Rick Rosenthal, and Hagai Shaham.[4] The film is about a group of teenagers who devise a plan to get revenge on an overweight, troubled bully on a boating trip. When their plan goes too far, they have to deal with the unexpected consequences of their actions. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 15, 2004, and was later screened at the Cannes Film Festival on May 14, 2004. It was then given a limited release in major US cities on August 20, 2004, mostly playing at art house theaters. PREMISE: Small and quiet Sam admits to his older brother Rocky that the school bully, George, has hurt him because he moved George’s video camera while George was filming himself playing basketball. Rocky tells his friends, reserved Clyde and troubled Marty, and they devise a plan for revenge. Part of the prank entails taking George on a boating trip to celebrate Sam’s fictional birthday. Then, they will get him to strip in a game of truth or dare, throw him in the river, and make him run home naked. Sam invites his new girlfriend Millie along and Marty drives the group to the river. During the ride, George reveals a different side by being genuinely pleased to be invited and that he is dyslexic. However, Sam does not tell Millie the real plan until they arrive near the river. Millie refuses to continue until Sam promises to call the plan off. Sam tells Rocky, who then tells Clyde and Marty, with Marty being very reluctant to do so. Throughout the trip, George clumsily attempts to fit in with the group. Despite this, he also gets confrontational when questioned about his motives (or lack thereof). The group soon realizes that although George is annoying, he is very lonely and just wants to be socially accepted. On the boat, Marty deviates from the others’ plan and initiates a game of truth or dare, though the rest decide to go along. After George shoots Marty with a water gun in good fun, he makes a funny quip about Marty’s father, not remembering that it is a sore subject as Marty’s father committed suicide years before. This sets off Marty, who exposes the whole plan and starts to ridicule George. Angered and humiliated, George launches into a vulgar tirade against everyone else, ending by crudely mocking Clyde’s two gay fathers and George taunting Marty about his deceased father. By Saying, “His Daddy Splattered His Brains All Over The Wall“ As Rocky tries to stop the fight, he accidentally pushes George off the boat. Unable to swim, George struggles to remain afloat in the water. As the others regard the scene in terror, George accidentally hits his head with his video camera and does not come to the surface. Rocky dives into the water and finds George, who is face down in the shallow water close to the shore. Millie attempts to give George CPR, but is too late as George dies. The group is traumatized and in fear of being incarcerated. They dig a hole and bury George’s body. Clyde’s plan is to explain that it was an accident but Marty threatens him, reminding Clyde that George’s camera (now lost in the water) contains Marty’s taped confession of the original plan and the authorities will find out if the camera is discovered. ______________________ I hope you guys enjoy the video!
