You know, there's actually a lot to discuss about this short film Dylan and Eric made. You can really see their artistic and stylistic influence (both were huge fans of Tarantino, namely his film "Natural Born Killers"). In many ways they envisioned themselves as akin to characters in a Tarantino movie - quirky, biting, a bit cynical. Of course, contemporaries such as Brooks Brown contest this presumption - they were bitter, angry young men with delusions of grandeur.
That being said... this is kino. I don't know how to describe it, there's something enigmatic and profound in this seemingly shallow display. When viewed with the perspective of the time it was made, it's an eery reminder of times to come. When viewed in a modern perspective, it becomes merely one of many pieces of the twisted psyches of two American young men who made their grisly mark on society. Effectively this makes"Hitmen for Hire" simultaneously dated and timeless yet also neither, which only further cements its status as kino.
i read both their journals full about a year ago, here's some of their interests
>Falling Down >Doom >Nine Inch Nails >KMFDM >Rammstein >Falling Down >Lost Highway >Eric hated Star Wars fans immensely
Kayden Hughes
why do school shooters never aim higher? seems pretty autistic to think killing a bunch of stupid teenagers will really do anything.
Elijah Reyes
Autism: The Movie
Brody Thompson
Your expectations are far too high for high school edgelords to ever meet.
Christopher Rodriguez
When you're a teenager in high school, your world revolves around petty social interactions.
Cameron Bennett
If they had the ambition to aim higher they wouldn't become school shooters in the first place
Asher Moore
when i was in school i fantasized about taking out Soros
Justin King
If they had aimed higher they'd still be alive today
RIP :(
Easton Morgan
>No, you goddam piece of punk-ass shit! Do not mess with that frickin' kid! If you do, I'll rip off your goddam head and shove it so far up your friggin' ass you will be coughing up dandruff for four frickin' months!
You know, had they not snapped, they probably would have just gone into drug dealing and started a gang, most likely affecting more lives
Xavier Hall
so, yesterday?
Joseph Evans
wow you really got him
Joseph Butler
You forgot Natural Born Killers
Sebastian Powell
This was more kino than OP's video and I don't even know what kino menas.
Samuel Reyes
I like how they were so concerned with not saying fuck in school but they had nor problem slaughtering the place.
Luis Parker
>quirky, biting, a bit cynical >bitter, angry young men with delusions of grandeur
implicating theres a difference
Lucas Mitchell
>(both were huge fans of Tarantino, namely his film "Natural Born Killers")
It's a Oliver Stone film which Tarantino wrote the script for AND Oliver Stone had segments of it rewritten to fit his sensibilities and it changed the overall "message" and tone of the movie. Also stop putting these fucking school shooter idiots on a pedestal.
James Taylor
>implying you'd ever have a chance when the russians can't even prick him with a poison tipped umbrella cause he's got 50 bodyguards around him dumb goy
Kevin Nguyen
so basically edgy faggots WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT
Aiden Harris
>That long scene of them walking towards the camera down the hall.
Luis Cook
the fucking kid going "ooooOOOOOOUUUU" kills me
Eli Sanchez
>The scene starts with them being dark in the middle of the sunlight, but ends in average lighting, with both of them only slightly darker than their background
What did they mean by this?
Liam Scott
>fruity music and kino taste
Adrian Jackson
>Protection for $20 a day They were a bunch of underage cuck faggots who didn't even lift. Autistic as fuck is an understatement.
They dided like little coward faggots too
Grayson Wood
Edgelords gotta ruin everything
Levi Gomez
Look at this fucking capeshit
Jace Turner
Pretty standard American values. If a chick showed them some nipple, their shootout would have been ruined.
Dylan did because one of his friends asked him, Eric didn't.
Logan Stewart
they already had the massacre planned even months before prom, Dylan only went because his parents wanted him to. it's such a harrowing feeling knowing that he was at prom looking at the kids he'd eventually see himself emptying a magazine in.
Jaxson Parker
damn even the ugly ass mug jew got a date, eric was just too fucked in the head, had he lived to see Cred Forums....
Jordan Perez
ironically he didn't get to shoot any of those that were at the prom, they ended up killing mostly a bunch of sped kids he must've been really mad at eric when it was about to end, all that preparation and the bomb didn't go off and they couldn't even get one popular kid, wouldn't surprise me if the theories about him wanting to turn himself in and eric just shooting him were true
Juan Parker
Not surprised these two faggots would miss the point of Falling Down entirely.
Joshua Ortiz
Dylan had far less motivation for the shooting than Eric. Why did he go along with it? Almost all of it seems have been planned by Eric and was done the way Eric wanted it. Was Dylan just so beta he got peer pressured into shooting up a school?
Colton Evans
>that look they are giving each other you just know
Justin Powell
They were proto-Cred Forumstards. The biggest myth the media helped spread is that they were bullied. They were actually the bullies. Two racist and homophobic edgelords, probably closet cases.
Cooper Reyes
Betas don't start gangs, silly.
Luis Jones
Rachel Scott was at prom, but i agree their whole crusade was a giant failure, they didn't kill any bullies. according to their journal that's right, Eric would write about his plan in detail, making pipe bombs, buying the guns, Eric just sat around and waited, talking about how depressed he was
Joseph Walker
These guys sound more beta with every post
Logan Nelson
I still don't know which one was which. Since Dylan was the leader, would it be safe to assume he was the taller one?
Leo Green
So they're the original edge lords?
Matthew Campbell
I can't even imagine what went through Dylan's head, guy must've thought it was all a fantasy until it was too late and then he was too scared of turning in his only friend.
Landon Rodriguez
Why was he okay say ass and shit but not fuck?
Brody Edwards
Eric was the Leader, Dylan was taller. what's weird about that is during the massacre Dylan was the most vocal
what a fucking beta skinny white kid thing to do... try to start a gang in a small mountain town in Colorado
Cameron Richardson
I don't admire their actions or ever considered doing anything similar, despite looking the part in middle/high school
But something about the aesthetic of columbine gets me at a fundamental level. Perfect 90's timecapsule of adolescent nihlisim. The Doom levels, the trenchcoat mafia, "Wrath" and "Natural Selection", all those videos of them before they went about with their plan, shooting guns in the forest .
>Eric just sat around and waited, talking about how depressed he was sorry, i meant Dylan.
Zachary Perez
The plan was to blow up the school with propane bombs in the cafeteria during lunch and then shoot whoever survived as they came out good thing for everyone else Eric was a retarded psychopath who couldn't actually build working bombs besides for shitty pipe bombs
Cameron Ortiz
retard should've downloaded a bunch of those al qaeda magazines with bomb blueprints instead of the anarchist's cookbook
Jackson Thomas
Wasn't there also a few other supposed stages to their plan? I remember at the time hearing that after they blew up the school and killed all the students, they wanted to go on a shooting spree through the suburbs, hijack a small airplane and crash it into a building.
Nathaniel Long
While bailing out at the last second, shooting up the pentagon, and nuking the entire world.
Michael Howard
They wanted to escape to mexico, they had a huge grandiose plan
Chase Cox
>Harris's eighth-grade science partner, reported that Harris and Klebold were constantly picked on. Vanderau noted that a "cup of fecal matter" was thrown at them. >"People surrounded them in the commons and squirted ketchup packets all over them, laughing at them, calling them faggots," Brooks Brown says. >Dylan told his mother that it was the worst day of his life." That incident, according to Laughlin, involved seniors pelting Klebold with "ketchup-covered tampons" in the commons. Shit, tampons, and ketchup. Jesus, no wonder they snapped
Leo Edwards
Hey if your a demented psychotic loser mad at everyone why not dream as big as possible right
Brayden Cook
I can understand Harris cause he was a manlet so it was gonna be hell no matter what, but the tall jew could've defended himself
Angel Lewis
>but the tall jew could've defended himself His sciatica was probably acting up.
Elijah Flores
Yes Eric had a lot of homicidal fantasies the thing about columbine was he didn't just want to be a loser school shooter he wanted to be on the level of a terrorist like Timothy McVeigh if his bombs had worked like he planned there would have been hundreds dead
Jackson Cruz
I wonder who was their favorite sonic the hedgehog character
Andrew Diaz
Tails and Knuckles
Easton Cox
>we're going to be terrorists to become famous >media responds by making them famous So is there any doubt at all that the media not only wants shit like that to happen, but actively encourages it?
Caleb Thompson
They know! Shut it down!
Charles Hughes
>hated Star Wars fans immensely Sounds like most of the faggots here.
Proof that if you're not a reyposter your'e autistic
David Watson
It's really strange that they never killed any of the jocks or any other kids in their grade level It's almost like they wanted to send them a message saying they were responsible for this and wanted them to live with it
Nicholas Stewart
don't be deluded, all the jocks were at the cafeteria having lunch when the bomb was supposed to go off and eric's shit bomb making skills saved their ass
Mason Lopez
No the reason they didn't kill any jocks is the bombs failed and they improvised the attack they found low hanging fruit in the library and committed a massacre
Daniel Jenkins
>Two racist and homophobic edgelords, probably closet cases. No they were just edgelords
>They go on to talk about how they hate all races: "niggers, spics, Jews*, fucking whites"
Parker Diaz
>Self hatin' jew These guys get more faggoty with every new post in this thread. Not even high scores.
JUST
Christian Clark
>(both were huge fans of Tarantino, namely his film "Natural Born Killers") Although he wrote it, you can't really call it his film.
>Eric hated Star Wars fans immensely They're not all bad then.
Thomas Gonzalez
They all look 30yo, what are they feeding you americans?
Ethan Ross
Me on the top left
Aiden Cooper
Have you ever met a 30 year old?
Jaxon Richardson
People looked older back then. It was a different time.
Carson Powell
It's really pathetic seeing everyone insulting these kids. At least they did something with their lives other than the bare minimum like all you losers
William Cook
HFCS
Chase Bailey
>Cred Forums near the center in a blue tie dye shirt and a hat every single time
he was the true underdog
Sebastian Robinson
>survive Columbine >become a meme What a life he must have.
Anthony Cook
so we all agree these were the real bully targets right?
Joseph Perry
Wish they would release the full Library 911 call. This bit was leaked, somehow.
Fun fact: Jagsguy is in that photo. Spot him ala Where's Waldo.
Jose Hernandez
I wish ppl stop pretending they weren't as edgy in their teens.
Ayden Thomas
Meh It's about killing people you know and where around you enough to know your name Yeah it would be easier to dk to randoms
Asher Moore
>(both were huge fans of Tarantino, namely his film "Natural Born Killers") Film is a director's medium, and that's an Oliver Stone film.
Owen Turner
>NOO YOU GOD DAMN PIECE OF PUNK ASS SHIT, DO NOT MESS WITH THAT FREAKIN' KID. IF YOO DO I'LL RIP OFF YOUR GOD DAMN HEAD AND SHOVE IT SO FAR UP YOUR FREAKIN' ASS YOU'LL BE COUGHING UP DANDRUFF FOR FOUR FREAKIN' MONTHS!
What did he mean by this?
Elijah Perez
one of the 2 guys on the sides
Leo James
>Survive Columbine only to have to live with being a Jaguars fan Life is suffering for this poor bastard.
Jace Nguyen
...
Ethan Hill
>We are going to kick start a revolution They kind of did, now every bullied kid looks up to them and some even go ahead and try to copy them If I had a gun I would have shot my dad and hell why not shoot some more people while I was at it
Daniel Hughes
I always fantasized about killing my parents as a teen, I still do really.
it must take a lot to push someone over the edge. i was pretty depressed but I never had the courage to just outright kill people and then myself
Elijah Bell
Hey user, can you open the door?
Jackson Nguyen
Dylan with the sunglasses and Eric with the hat
Liam Morgan
...
Nathan Rogers
My dad had this lamp that weighted a ton made from bronze and I once waited for him upstairs after a fight and threw the lamp at his head when he approached the stairs He dodged it tho, it could have cracked his skull
Sebastian Evans
yeah it's him next to eric
Sebastian Flores
Grow a brain, read a book. Everything the public takes for granted about the massacre is in fact myth.
>muh trench coats >muh marilyn manson >muh bullying
None of it's true. None of it.
Tyler Bennett
So which manson album is your favorite?
Camden Adams
Just imagine if their bombs had gone off. They would have had a higher casualty count than OKC
Jose Brown
...
Josiah Myers
Honestly, just like the two shooters, I don't like MM, but I really like KMFDM.
I graduated in '93, though. As an aside, when the shooting occurred, I was working on my doctorate in the UK, and one of the other American students took academic leave, because she graduated from CHS in '95 and knew a couple of the victims.
Ian Ross
>actual blood this doesn't look fake like other shootings.
Thomas Jenkins
>one of the other American students took academic leave, because she graduated from CHS in '95 and knew a couple of the victims. lmao what a pussy
Isaac Watson
At least one of the jocks was in the library. They even taunted one of them but just stepped over him and walked away without even trying to harm him.
After their bombs failed it seems like they just got depressed and wanted to suicide.
Caleb Scott
There's a video that clearly shows both of them committing suicide on youtube.
John Green
Wrong! It's movie blood, used by the Jews to chip away at your second amendment rights. Not so smart now, are you cuck?
Adam Howard
he was one of the ones killed i think
James Thomas
Bullshit.
Ryder Gutierrez
They also died both a virgin.
Asher Bailey
meh keep trying
Julian Flores
>white """""""""people"""""""""
Hudson Walker
That's because you're an autist that needs to decompress from Cred Forums.
Jaxon Flores
These guys seemed pretty average by high school standards. They look like they'd have been well liked or at least had gfs. What was their problem? They didn't have much trouble with bullies according to the people who knew them.
Nathan James
Delusion and mental problems.
Samuel Brown
One was an edgleord psychopath, the other was a depressed follower.
Oliver Hughes
Some people are just assholes.
Nicholas White
>They didn't have much trouble with bullies according to the people who knew them. Wrong. youtu.be/AZix8_7f_lY
Eric did have a gf. Dyan went to prom with some friends. They both worked at a pizza place to get extra cash. They were outsiders who got bullied, but still had their own little clique.
Jacob Harris
>Jags WTF guy doing the Jags WTF face
Jaxon Moore
>some goobers book is better than both of their journals
g- grow a brain!
Blake Martin
they remind me of MDE
Joshua Stewart
According to Last Podcast On The Left Eric was actually a chad who had fucked multiple girls and an older woman.
Ethan Diaz
Their journals were one of that book's sources.
Nathaniel Gonzalez
Columbine is basically the most notorious senior prank of all time.
Adrian Powell
so why did you disagree?
Sebastian Jenkins
What does Jen have anything to do with columbine ?
Jackson Turner
>edgy late 90s fag starter kit
Parker Nelson
Which was?
Juan Davis
They just left out Korn & Begotten.
Lucas Ward
>everyone blamed Marilyn Manson when it was actually Tarantino who caused the whole thing
Liam Cook
>all those Chads
Liam Rivera
Which one is them and which ones are the I es they killed??
Charles Green
Me covering up my face with a peace sign in the top left hand corner
Thomas Clark
>Implying Dave Cullen didn't make all this shit up to justify the fact he wanted to buttfuck Dylan
Yeah this is art alright. They really believed they were those characters irl
Killing all those bullies was just nxt lvl performance art I see now.
Wyatt Morgan
Glad they shot up the school
Those "jocks" look like fucking faggot ass nerds. How could they let themselves get bullied by those guys. Eric and Dylan clearly have the superior sense of fashion compared to those guys as well
I would've beat the shit out of them right then and there
Jeremiah Robinson
Sound like what Cred Forums would have acted like then.
Jonathan Young
>Dammit someone beat me to it!
Nathan Taylor
>Hitmen for Hire pretty interesting idea for a movie honestly
Isaiah Nguyen
sounds like your typical Cred Forums poster
Aiden Morales
That girl flexing on the far bottom left is a qt. Why were late 90's/early 2000's girls so cute, bros?
There have been psychologists that have told news outlets to stop reporting on people like this because it solely gives them fuel to go and commit an atrocity due to becoming famous. Granted, it's kinda bullshit anyways because how are you going to get away with killing 20+ people and not have anyone acknowledge it?
Samuel Russell
>no death photo of adam lanza
Someday. Someday.
Jose Carter
Adam Lanza never existed. It was all a ploy by the Jews.
Sebastian Robinson
did lanza do himself in or was it by cop?
Tyler Gray
Wew, it's like American TV.
Dylan Davis
...
Mason Brown
He was just too good. Unlike Eric who was on Zoloft Adam was autistic as fuck
His little autism tick or power was being obsessed with mass murderers throughout history
This guy laid out an ace plan and covered his tracks really well. He made sure no one could find all the shit on his computer. Totally different from Eric's gay little journals easily found found
Aiden Rogers
Dylan was just a really depressed dude apparently. Eric was an actual psycho and the mastermind behind the whole thing. Had Dylan not met him he definitely wouldn't have done something like this.
