Movie vs Reality

Okay so I'm going to talk about this as both a subject and a movie. First as a movie, the title says it all: it's about Taylor who constantly gets harassed online, pushing her toward suicide. When rescued from her attempt, she is forced to confront reality, the person who helped make things worse for her, recover, and bring attention to online bullying when everyone else is unable to help the situation.

I would like to cover the cons before I cover the good stuff: Cons: The situations can occasionally feel shoehorned. I applaud it for tackling as many issues about cyber bullying as possible, but sometimes it causes the situation to feel messy. While the main characters are okay, it's the bullies: Lindsey and her friends who have absolutely no personality except they're cruel. Yes bullies can be cruel, and it's inexcusable, but they have personalities too. I would have liked to see some motivation, or trouble going on for them, leading them to be jerks rather than being jerks for the sake of being jerks. And the ending makes things look like it was too easily solved, which really bothered me. I know we like to see things easily solved, but that's not always how life works. And I don't mean how the friends work things out, but when Taylor and the whole school confront Lindsey and her friends (the real bullies). It was possibly the most cliched ending I had ever seen in a movie that's suppose to be taken seriously.

Pros: Like I said in the cons section, this movie makes an effort to show the effects cyber bullying has on a person and community. It also shows that anyone of any age who uses the internet needs to be careful what they post, especially when it comes to talking about other people. Some moments are made up, but they're centered around the realities of cyber bullying.

What the movie tries to remind us is that while it is fun to talk on the computer, we should not forget that on the other side of the conversation is a person who has vulnerable feelings. Insulting them online is just as bad (possibly worse) as doing it in person. Even if it's meant to be a "joke", it doesn't always work that way. This is one of the reasons I've asked everyone on this page to not insult each other just because you don't agree with someone else's movie reviews. Words are not as tamed as we think they are; we are the ones who need to tame our choice of words. (btw, that "Sticks and Stones...........but names will never hurt me" rhyme is a lie)

I don't know if I 100% recommend this movie, mainly because the ending bothers me too much. If you want to learn more about the effects of cyber bullying, I recommend looking up Megan Meier's story more (heck, this movie was loosely based off her real life story) just keep tissues nearby when you do. Or if you went through cyber bullying (or bullying in general) post about it. How did you get through it? The next generation is going to look to you for inspiration on how to fight bullying online, in person, or anywhere.

Inaccurate portrayal of cyber-bullying is entertaining but unrealistic

It seems that ABC Family has debuted a new film about cyberbullying in social networks. Unfortunately, though, it seems it was conceived by someone who knows absolutely nothing about cyberbullying in social networks. Even though some valuable points are made, "Cyberbully" is strictly for entertainment. The movie might actually be brilliant as a black comedy - note the moment Taylor Hillridge tells her best friend that she "can't get the cap off," which is almost undoubtedly bound to be remembered as a staple in television comedy. In fact, at points, the film is so ridiculous that it nearly seemed to have been made as a black comedy.

"Cyberbully" also has amateurish cinematography (half of its shots appearing to have been taken from some serialized drama) and a plain script with wooden dialogue, even though the acting performance of Emily Osment is worthy of praise. The portrayal of cyber-bullying is highly unrealistic; the main character signs up for a website that apparently doesn't allow you to even delete posted comments. When she should just delete her account, "it's too late" is used as an excuse. When she should just block the profile of anybody she doesn't like, the website seems not to have a blocking option. This is completely inaccurate, as most social networking websites will let you delete comments, block profiles of people, and report spam comments.

"Cyberbully" has convincing acting and entertainment, as well as good messages, but is unrealistic and sometimes even unintentionally humorous at times; both far overshadow any redeeming qualities you will be able to find.

this movie is very similar to another (much better) one

This movie shows a problem that really exists - girls abuse each other on Internet social media. They think they can say and do anything they want and nobody will punish them. But this movie is very similar to another (slightly older) movie: "Odd Girl Out". Probably some movie producer watched "Odd Girl Out" and had a "brilliant" idea that he can produce the same movie and call it "Cyberbully". "Odd Girl Out" movie is better, the whole story fits together better, and the girls perform better. Also the mother of the victim girl is more supportive in "Odd Girl Out" movie - It's important to show that parents should support a child in such case as much as they can. So if you are about to watch "Cyberbully" I encourage you to watch "Odd Girl Out" instead.
