Chronicle makes a compelling case for which would happen when a number of teenage boys were to suddenly attain superhuman powers. They would not stare at each other in awe, like that they just been touched by the hand of God. They’d like it, not simply at their expense, and also at the expense of others. Initially, the boys therein film behave just like the cast of Jackass, employing their powers to pull dangerous stunts strictly for reasonable thrills and some laughs. They even pull pranks on unsuspecting people. One of them moves a parked car right into a different parking zone, leaving its owner confused. Another one sneaks in to a toy store and creates a teddy bear float in front of somewhat girl, who cannot be any more than six or seven. She understandably screams in terror. Once they fully grasp this beyond their systems, I can see how they would then fly over the clouds and toss around a football, never once stopping to think about the concept they might be in the flight path of a passenger jet.
But what if these powers found their distance to the life span of any bullied, abused, socially awkward teen? At the certain point, it will not enough to merely like it. In all probability, using pushed into making use of it against people, people who have hurt you, humiliated you, ignored you for no real reason differently being whom you are. High school generally is a lot like that. The sad thing is so people are not prepared to listen if people has a challenge. Not uncommon to even excuse teenage cruelty and hatred as “kids being kids.” Some will understand this movie and find out a reworking of the superhero genre, specifically the opening chapter that hero rises as well as the villain is unwittingly created. You are able to certainly create a case for this kind of interpretation. For whatever it’s worth, I see it more being a sad parable about how precisely mistreatment is only able to be tolerated for such a long time before a breaking point is reached.
