Apt Pupil (1998 Film) | Destructive Appetites and Serial Abusers | A Great UndertaKING 

Poor Brad, one day this director is going to pay for everything he did to this poor boy to go through. Brad left a son when he passed away in 2008. RIP Brad Renfro.

Thanks for the video. I had totally forgotten that Singer directed this. That makes it a little more creepy. There was a time when I thought he was the greatest director in Hollywood. I loved the movie when I saw it in theaters and actually thought the ending was better, and the story a bit more realistic. And yes, Sir Ian is a treasure. Much appreciation for your efforts and I hope you have an awesome holiday season.

I had no clue until now about the tragedy of Brad Renfro and sexual abuse of Bryan Singer. There was a period of many years that I subscribed and read Entertainment Weekly cover to cover. I was a voracious consumer of celebrity news but these things transpired after after I gave that up. I was confused at the start of the video, because I didn't even recognize or remember who Brad Renfro was, so I didn't know why you were showing his interview. I looked up Brad Renfro and the only other movie he was in that I saw or even heard of was Ghost World. I love that movie but I didn't remember Brad's character until I looked through the images and found a scene with him in it. I never connected him as the same actor in those two movies until now. This video was very informative for me.

Wow...astonishing! Didn't even know of the existence of this book and movie let alone the sad dramatic disturbing story behind it. Must have lived under a rock for a while although I'm aware of the overall abuse and psycho maniacs in the film and music industries. Intense review man, glad you brought this one up. Ian McKellen is a true hero to me.

Brad renfro was a brilliant actor who died too young he unfortunately became another victim that the Hollywood industry used and abused May he rest in peace 😥🙏

I didn’t even know this movie was directed by that creep Bryan Singer. Rest In Peace Brad. I just discovered this channel, great work! The host’s voice is great to listen to

Oh, my god. I didn't know that was happening behind the scenes of the movie Rest in peace, Brad

In December 20, 2021, another Bryan victim went public talking about him

I love those shattered glass transitions!

The ending of the novella Apt Pupil has been the most impactful ending for me for any King novel, novella or short-story. I really wish the movie had stuck to the novella.

I'm glad that Bryan singer has been exposed for what he truly is I'm not surprised that it took two decades for him to be exposed the down side of Hollywood is that many people choose to protect the predators than the victims

You are correct that drug abuse affects more than just Hollywood. However, a teen's job at Taco Bell isn't encouraging, supporting or supplying their employees'' habit. Your video would be better if you got off the soapbox. Many of your viewers can process information and come to conclusions without being told what to think.
