Elephant (2003 film)

Elephant is a 2003 drama film edited, written and directed by Gus Van Sant. It takes place in the fictional Watt High School, in the suburbs of Portland, Oregon, and chronicles the events surrounding a school shooting, based in part on the 1999 Columbine High School massacre. The film begins a short time before the shooting occurs, following the lives of several characters both in and out of school, who are unaware of what is about to unfold. The film stars mostly new or non-professional actors, including John Robinson, Alex Frost, and Eric Deulen.

Elephant is the second film in Van Sant's "Death Trilogy" — the first is Gerry (2002) and the third Last Days (2005) — all three of which are based on actual events.

Elephant was generally acclaimed by critics and received the Palme d'Or at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival, in which Patrice Chéreau was the head of the jury. As the first high-profile movie to depict a high school shooting since Columbine, the film was controversial for its subject matter and possible influence on teenage copy-cats.

Dark Halls Of Wisdom

by: Elephant

Ensconced in bibliosis before the tomes of reverence
Brooding in the study of the silent tower
The Grey Voyager of the void in pale sleep
Remembering the ruins of endless years
Dance for the rose in the forests of Pylea
The trionic text of the wolf in the pentagram
A bridge to the wisdom of the moon
The nebulous souls compounded in twilight
Ever and anon traversing the sphere of time
The saga of The Narrator within the mirrored walls
The first to witness the fall of Oberon
Of winds and ingate
Inverted coffins, a burning death
Beneath the sun's infinite fire
The answer balances on a legend lost in an age of dreams
Borne upon a cloak of stars, The scroll of heaven aflame
The secret aloft my wizened eyes
On the smiling caryatid's visage
As Iris descended into the earth
To kiss the roots of the ageless tree
In the darkness beyond the door, the altar is being prepared
The last perfect day and the world is near completion
Acclaim the prophecies bound within these halls
