I'm Not Ashamed - The Cinema Snob 

There was another girl killed at Columbine who was Christian and an aspiring writer. But, she was chubby, had braces and was Catholic so no one's going to make a film about her.

"Insensitive, exploitive and a bit tasteless." Well, I know what's going on my tombstone.

Oh shit son, I haven't heard the "Columbine was caused by video games" argument in fucking forever!

This movie foreshadows with the subtlety of a fucking sledgehammer to the face.

Someday we'll beat the snob to a review...someday

You know what a movie about a victim of the Columbine massacre needs? A fucking love triangle.

This movie's dialogue and characters sound like the writers listened to two rap songs and began writing. Also the foreshadowing in this film is relentless!

As a native Coloradan I would like to give pure flix a double middle finger salute

After this, I can't wait to see how Pure Flix tackles 9/11, WWII, the Orlando Shooting, or the Sandy Hook Massacre. That being said, was anybody else having issues telling Harris and Klebold from the rest of the kids. The two actors playing them look so generic that they could have played any number of the extras and I wouldn't have noticed.

Anyone else feel that wether the story is true, it's still inapropriate to make a movie about a mass shooting to exploit it for a Chrsitain message?

9:45 i don't think "Mein Kampf" needs that many swastikas on it's cover to show people what it's about, I mean the title alone should suffice, no?

There are three things that arouse me immensely: 1) Amazon Gift Cards 2) Bernie Sanders's voice. 3) The majority of people (including celebrities) taking the piss out of Christian Fundamentalists and their propaganda.

You had me at 90's and angst.

Eric never knew Rachel, nor did he or Dylan shoot anyone for being Christian. Eric never aimed a gun at her head or talked to her, she died from distance purely for being outside. Dylan did ask a girl who screamed out in paiin (Valeen Schnurr) if she believed in God (after she yelled OH GOD!) and after she said yes he walked away and she is still alive to this day. Eric did talk about hating a Christian girl in his psychology class called Rachel, but it was not Rachel Scott. He didn't know her. As for Dylan, she was sort of a friend to him, he saved one of her live performances by fixing a mix tape she had made that malfunctioned (he worked as the sound engineer for school plays) and he was concerned when it broke down and in record speed he fixed it for her and after the performance she thanked him for it.

I'm honestly surprised at how...not sucky this turned out. I was expecting something along the lines of Old Fashioned or War Room, but this is nowhere near as cringey or hard to watch as those films.

"I'm missing all the fun!" "No you're missing all the *S* *I* *N* ."

Why do I have the feeling one of PureFlix's next projects is about 9/11?

I'm a Christian, and I actually have to agree with you. They really should have done a better job with this film. One of my biggest issues with the film is that this wasn't actually Rachel. I read Rachel's Tears, the book her parents wrote a year after she died, and I studied Columbine for years, because it's oddly fascinating to me. Movie Rachel has totally different motivations from Real Rachel. Also, I am tired of everyone turning Columbine into a religious thing. I don't know if that conversation happened before she died, but I do know that Eric and Dylan weren't just targeting Christians or jocks or whatever. They had planted bombs that didn't go off. You don't get more indiscriminating than bombs. They were looking to take as many lives as they could. And all the rumours that they were fueled by Marilyn Manson and such, they hated Manson. They were literally fueled by hate. They hated everything. They used Doom to practice the massacre and pretend it was the school, but they'd already made up their minds before they got to that point. They easily could have made this a great psychological study, but they totally made them 2D characters, like you said. I actually write a review about this movie after I saw it, and there's a paragraph I wrote that I'm going to copy and paste here... In reality, Rachel and Dylan Klebold started to become friends at one point, and he even started to like her. In the film, they have one encounter. If they wanted to go in the high school drama route, they easily could have left this in and upped the drama! He likes her, but Eric Harris wants to kill her, and he’s conflicted. It adds more character than “Imma just follow Eric blindly”. I'm a Christian, but I don't think a Christian studio should have made this. Rachel was a Christian, but that doesn't make Columbine a religious tragedy. In order to accurately portray what happened, they need to get a "real" studio behind it. I just looked up and realised how long I've made this, so I'm just going to stop now...

8:07 Uh.... Is this movie using the whole "Hitler was a Darwinist, thus meaning that evolution is inherently evil and believing in it makes YOU a Nazi" argument again? For Christ's sake, not this old and tired argument again!

This movie is surprisingly not as hateful as I expected from pureflix . Still, great vid as always

...So, the Pureflix movie about Columbine is...one of the "Better" ones? ....How does that happen!?

Pretty sure Beavis and Butthead was popular in the 90s, and they said fart knocker, I'm giving it a pass.

video games? really? I would have thought, they were going to lay the blame, on Marilyn Manson.

I've never clicked on a video so fast as soon as the notification popped up. Thanks, Brad.

You guys think that the title is also a statement from Brad about his life choices?

21:53 "...Bullying other bullies. So they're the Dexter of bullies?" That one got me lol.

"This movie does to schools what Jaws did to the ocean"

It's really sad that the reality is that she wasn't even the victim to assert her faith in front of the shooters. It was someone else entirely, and they survived.

I love that you're giving some lip service to The Bible Reloaded. Those guys deserve the attention. In fact, you should go on their channel for a Chick Tract reading. That would make my day.

1:32 TheBibleReloded guys paused their viewing of the trailer when it first came out to google that, and in ten minutes they discovered that that never happened. Rachel's friend who survived never said that they said that. There was a rumour that they said that to a girl Cassie Burnell in the library-but again several survivors stated that neither of the killers ever said that to her. I know most people here would have already seen that video, I'm just leaving this comment about it anyway.

What kind of radio show reminds its listeners of Hitler's birthday?

Really, Pureflix is taking a horrible tragedy and uses it in a religious movie? I guess the makers of this movie have no decency or shame. It's always great to see Snob destroy these religious movies.

I was so excited about this movie at first and then got so disappointed it wasn't what I thought. It just didn't capture the Rachel we all read about and loved. They got an encounter totally wrong with a character in here based on Brooks Brown where they talk about their different beliefs. Brooks Brown wrote about this encounter in his book No Easy Answers he dedicated a whole chapter about Rachel talking about how she was the first tolerant Christian who didn't care that he was an atheist. It just shows what an inspiration she was to all people and not just because of her religion and this movie just didn't portray it that way. The encounter at 18:13 in this video is based on true events in No Easy Answers and did not play out the way this movie portrayed it.

"Oh hey Brad posted a new epis-oh dear"

The chick playing Rachel looks like a mix of Anna Kendrick and Kristen Stewart. She's really pretty.

"Well go be with him." Is a really hardcore line to say before shooting someone.

When I was in high school her dad (or maybe it was the step-dad) came to our school to talk about his daughter's courage and even back then he framed her death as religious persecution.

Oh boy, this will be a tough watch. How much will Pureflix fuck this up?

My first reaction to this movie was "You should be...You should be pure flix."

I'm still questioning why people seem to think Christians are being persecuted in the States.

Some of these movies make me mad, like voiceless. God's not dead and the sequel veered into self parody but this one here made me honestly disgusted. I was in seventh grade when columbine happened and I still remember all the fear and shock of that day. It's an event that every millennial will share with their kids, just like 9/11 or the Oklahoma city bombing. The big difference is that those terrorist attacks and this event was that these kids could have gone to your school. Just two average teenagers who decided they wanted to live forever with infamy. It's outright disgusting someone would misrepresent the whole situation to make a quick buck and score faith points.

The main actress is pretty good. Also, I'm no expert on Columbine, but if this movie is accurate, Rachel was a sweet girl, even though it's unlikely she died specifically for her faith.

I don't know what's worse: a Pure Flix movie about Columbine, or that new Mark Wahlberg film about the Boston Marathon bombings? I sure hope to God that nobody makes a Sandy Hook movie any time soon...or ever.

This all kind of hits home for me. I was 14 when the shooting happened and this whole movie just seems so mean spirited in a way to take such a tragedy and use it for their own agenda.

Get ready for a shit ton of controversy

25:15 god I hate Alex jones....

fun fact rachel wasn't likely asked the question and eric and dylan's main factor in choosing victims was convenience in location she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I'm going to be honest, the minute I saw the title I knew what it was. I felt my stomach drop

I went to high school with two of the actors in this movie. I remember them talking about working on a film but I didnt realize this was the actual movie until I spotted one of them. Damn. what a terrible way to start off your acting career.

Inb4 copyright claim from the innocent filmstudio Pure Flix that's obviously being persecuted by another bully.

I give u props for having the guts to approach this sensitive topic

To be fair to the film, footage of their "training" does have them saying things like "Its gonna be just like Doom." so the film might not be so much blaming videogames as much as pointing out factual things about their mindset that came up after the fact.

I think you and the Bible reloaded should do a crossover on a Christian movie

This review has kind of raised a question in me. Brad, what are your thoughts on Lars Von Trier's Elephant?

The shooter who asked if she believed in god probably just wanted to have some one liner he thought sounded good while he was on his power trip.

Brad, I love you. I was literally trying to find a Midnight Screenings episode on this and failed. You are awesome!!!!

I actually LIKE the fact that this movie focuses so much on Rachel instead of exploring the motivations of the shooters. Giving the shooters attention is exactly what encourages more shootings to happen, because they know if they kill people then they'll be famous and their life stories will be dissected to no end in the news, think-pieces, and movies. The life stories that SHOULD be told are those of the victims.

I remember when this happened and the book "She said yes" came out and even though I was in 8th grade and in a catholic school, I thought that this was incredibly tacky, exploitative, and disrespectful to the other victims.

"I'm not ashamed" - Exactly, that's the problem, you should be.

I don't find it difficult to believe the Columbine murderers would ask a victim if they believe in God before killing them .I do take issue with Pureflix exploiting it for a movie about Christianity

At 11:13 "Um... Pureflix once released a movie that called for a militaristic call to arms to take over Washington..." Why does that sound familiar all of a sudden?

I'm lying on my bed in the comfort of my home, and I still feel extremely nervous about this review.

I'm pretty sure the family behind this came to my high school once. They actually did go off on the idea of music and video games being the blame behind Columbine. Was sickening to hear.

I mean as a Christian, I think it’s fine to have a message about not being ashamed about your religion Just don’t use fucking COLUMBINE as a backdrop

Oh goodie! I'll get the popcorn! Been waiting a long time for this one!

If this movie was anymore tasteless it’d be diet water....

Love your work been a fan for about 6 months and always watch your new videos and I'm slowly going through your other videos

I didn't want to watch this but wanted to see it at the same time. So happy you did this.

Loved the stinger. The character's reaction to the story on the radio was probably the same as the audience's!

So long as pure flix keeps exploiting the beliefs of people while simultaneously pandering to them about how awesome their religion is we will always have the Snob and TBR.

I love these reviews! Great job! Binge watching all of these.

I saw you talk about this in your gods not dead 2 screening.I cant believe you got around to reviewing it so quickly since it only came out late last year.

Look, if you want to make a movie about Rachel Joy Scott, by all means, make a movie about Rachel and her life. I have no problem with that and it's more or less a nice tribute to her. But good Lord, PLEASE don't try to involve the shooters. Yes, Rachel died at Columbine so obviously that would need some focus, but it feels so incredibly cheap and disrespectful to the shooters' families to have such a shallow fucking view on the their motives! "DARK CLOTHING AND GOTH MUSIC AND VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES AHHHH!!!" Also, didn't Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold want this to happen? In one of their tapes (someone can correct me if I'm wrong here), didn't they say something along the lines of "I wonder who will play us in movies about us?" You're essentially giving them what they wanted. There's no nuance to this at all, not that I expected any from a Pure Flix movie. I agree with pretty much everything Brad said. I just hope they don't eventually try to make a movie about Christina Grimmie's murder (since she was a devout Christian). They'll probably try to make it look like she was killed because of her faith, though there's no evidence to suggest that. Pure Flix needs to just stay out of it when it comes to tragedies like this. I don't fault Rachel's family for this since they did lose their child, but I do fault the studio and its producers. It's tacky and exploitative.

I couldn't help but notice how the movie spent most of its time on the young, pretty girl who has friends and who has rich parents that give her a damn car for her birthday. Meanwhile, Harris and Klebold are barely in it, you never see their parents, and they are usually getting the shit kicked out of them by bullies and jocks. The movie doesn't seem to think that matters, and it's just the vidya games that made them violent. I mean, the movie does a pretty good job of showing how pretty and wealthy students have great lives, and fat ugly poor kids are basically just roaches.

These are my favorite videos. Keep it up, Brad!

Saw the title and screamed "YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Thank you, thank you, thank you! You're the best!

I'm only a minute into this, and I have a feeling this movie is going to piss me off more than God's Not Dead--especially since I know so many Christian groups still run with that story and Cassie's where she was allegedly killed for being a Christian; which is horseshit.

There's actually a group called Rachel's Challenge. They spoke at my school back in the day and someone said they were trying to tackled the issues of bullying and school shootings. Well intentioned, but came across more as a deification of Rachel. It's no surprise that Rachel's Challenge is the girl's family and a family friend. It's understandable that they'd want her memory to live on, but like this film, it comes across as propaganda.

Hell yes, been waiting for this since you guys mentioned the preview on midnight screenings!

I watch every ad through all the way and download the apps because your videos really are worth the couple minutes to watch, install and uninstall

Love how it's 1999 and they're playing Halo

Awesome vid as always, Brad! I hope to see a Cinema Snob review for "Dancin' It's On" at some point in the future!

Oh thank god. I've been waiting for this for sooooo long.

Finally! I've been looking forward to this review ever since you mentioned the trailer awhile back.

Unfortunately, that scene where Harris says "It's going to be like Oklohoma City, the L.A. Riots and WWII all mixed into one" may be the only accurate thing in this movie as it's a line taken from his court-mandated journal entries.

OMFG! I had no idea how big fundamentalist Christian's balls were! This is the first Snob video that left me feeling really awkward (and it wasn't because of him!)

Gotta say Snob, you've grown on me like fucking hell over the years. Sorry it's taken me this long to get to your vids, but I am enjoying each one profusely so far.

one of my favourite reviews! I love when Brad reviews these pureflix movies.

Yay! More Pure Flix! Lol love when Brad reviews these.

It's confirmed ... God is a Cinema Snob fan

never been so soon, just wanna say thanks for all the badass content!!!!

Damn! This was uploaded around the same time as the shooting in Monterrey, Mexico at a private school. God be with the families of those who lost their lives.

Oh dude! You really did it?!? Thank you! This was an epic review, though I feel bad for the torture you went through since it's Pure Flix.

What these people didn't realize was that the shooters were sociopaths. People like that simply find reasons. And Christ wouldn't have helped them.

THANK YOU BRAD/cinema snob! ive been WAITING for this one.

The car part made me cry.

11:13 - 11:29 Actually, War Room was made by the Kendrick Brothers not Pure Flix.

I HAVE BEEN BLESSED THIS DAY! PRAISE JEEBUS!

Im so glad you decided to talk about this movie.

I really love the song Cassie by Flyleaf. It mentions Rachel in the song. I really like the way it is written. It definitely comes from a lot of passion.
