That is one seriously demented movie. Those faces are way creepy. Mr. Fish sat here with me and watched it and just shook his head. I made it through the whole thing. Somehow. Wierd.

I liked Brokebike Mountain a whole lot. I've watched it at least 3 times.
That creepy ape-face demento movie...OK, I'll try again. But, I mean, the little "Tinkerbelle" one compulsively scratching her head and cruising through the stop sign...that's when I had to turn it off. We'd already lost the aggressive corporate type when he wouldn't signal a left turn (signal or no, he was a goner if he turned like that in front of a car), and all the other creepy demento-type expressionless ape children just keep blithely cycling on their merry way to the park that's only 9 blocks away, but as we all know...
...a lot can happen in nine blocks....

Totally creepy. I watched the whole thing. Why don't those kids care when their friends get into serious wrecks? There is so much pathology in that movie I don't know where to begin. Why doesn't the adult narrator have any emotion? Creepy.

Ok. I watched the whole thing. 9 children dead from bike accidents in one afternoon in a small town. Maybe only 8 dead, one appeared to land up in the hospital. This will be an interesting news week in ape-town, America!
The moral at the end rings true for the times. I'm guessing this was late '50s, I was born in 1960. A tone of "disobey the rules and you die. Accept it." And the adults will just say, "We told you so". It sure got me to brush my teeth! I never saw such a scary movie, though.
And the kid at the end, finally relieved of his monkey mask, stoically eating his sandwich. Not screaming, crying, or running for help. YIKES! (Perhaps this is an experiment of beta's to see how many people just can't resist watching the whole thing!)
