Frat House

No way is the 1st half of this doc staged like many suggested. I got brought here after watching the Joker this morning and went on the hunt for the directors earlier work. Id seen the GG Allin one before and thought it was good. They are definately a violent and depraved bunch of people lol, hopefully USA universities have put a stop to these practices which show extreme bullying of what we call in the UK freshmen. The Joker turns the Batman franchise on its head. After The Dark Night being a clearly Pro Republican party movie, The Joker clearly had more left wing sympathies, its clear to all to see what brought Todd here from this doc. His Iconoclastic tendecies are much needed in modern cinema. Its certainly an enlightening experience to see how the priviledged behave in the University settings and the lack of governance from the University. If I was sent to University there, I would be quick to transfer.

I just saw this movie, and blow me out! It's a scary, real portrait of fraternities in USA made by two skinny, smart guys with glasses. Although, this is not "The Revenge of the Nerds" whatsoever. It's just a close look to the inside madness in frats. This is a story about noisy parties, people with affectional needs, humiliation, naked women and kegs. At some point it's hilarious, and it's great if you want a college discussion about it. Totally cool, but hard to find (for some reason, not in video).

Despite allegations of staging, this was one of the most entertaining documentaries I have had the pleasure of seeing. Even if some of the scenes were staged, you still get to witness the unbelievable torture that these young men had to endure. The film is a very guilty pleasure, and will make you cry with laughter. Forget all the controversy and enjoy this riotous film.

Listen people...I am the real star of this movie. If you want the truth...contact me at joelaudadio@optonline.net. Most of your comments are ridiculous, idiotic, and useless... It seems as if most of you are clueless about this movie, clueless about the efforts it took to make this movie, the reality of the film itself, the dangers of hazing, the sickness about myself and my true to life insanity... so get a grip...and understand this... BLOSSOM IS VERY REAL.... BLOSSOM IS BACK.... BLOSSOM IS ALIVE AND WELL... BEWARE As for the directors of this film...it was an absolute pleasure meeting Todd and Andrew. They are very talented young men, who will make it very big in their lifetime. I owe them quite a bit...for helping me realize the type of person I am, the type of person I want to be...and the type of person I can pretend to be...

this is nothing compared to the real thing-

This is a relatively entertaining documentary. But it is a very weak representation of hazing. It depicts fraternity chapters at a few different colleges on the East Coast. They are all relatively small schools/chapters. One pledge class has about 10 pledges. Although I have heard people refer to this doc as frightening or horrifying (etc etc), this doc only provides a tiny clue of what its like in large fraternal chapters which haze. Multiply the things you saw in this doc by about 100 and you will begin to touch the surface. Hazing is actually much more ritualized and intense. It is not as ridiculous as the events shown here. This is disorganized and small scale.
