Maybe I was an Aztec." ” “ world already has enough misery in it without my adding more to it." ” “It was not a case of hating them. I don't know what I was thinking when I did it." ” “Maybe I was born too late. And try as I might, I couldn't make other people seem less strange and unknowable." ” “What I've done has cut both ways. I simply didn't know how things worked with other people. Nor could I formulate a plan for winning their affection. When children liked me, I did not know why. Frankly, I wanted death for myself.” “I feel so bad for what I did to those poor families, and I understand their rightful hate.” “I take all the blame for what I did.” “I wanted to find out just what it was that caused me to be so bad and evil.” “The subtleties of social life were beyond my grasp.
I tried and I failed, and created a holocaust.” “This has never been a case of trying to get free. I have seen their tears, and if I could give my life right now to bring their loved ones back, I would do it.” “I should have stayed with God. I promise I will pray each day to ask for their forgiveness when the hurt goes away, if ever. I know the families of the victims will never be able to forgive me for what I have done. While one of Derf’s friends does eventually start feeling bad about the way they’re treating Jeffrey for easy laughs, these are exactly the type of dumb things that kids got up to during those times.“I know society will never be able to forgive me. The fact Lynch is able to create so much empathy for someone who will become one of the country’s most notorious murderers plays a large part in why this film should be taken seriously.Īlex Wolff and the rest of the young cast also do a suitable job as Jeffrey’s classmates, and as someone who attended high school during the times before cellphones and the internet, I can attest that Meyers’ ability to capture what that feels like is also quite impressive. At the same time, he’s beginning to explore his own sexuality due to his confusing interest in a doctor who jogs past his house.
Lynch doesn’t have to do much to convey the loneliness and confusion of a teenager watching his family fall apart and who is unable to get much-needed approval from his father.

If there’s one thing that everyone can take away from My Friend Dahmer, it’s the brilliant understated performance by Ross Lynch (star of Disney’s Austin & Ally TV series).
They begin to hang out with Jeffrey and start involving him in their pranks, the more elaborate one involving Jeffrey sneaking into the yearbook pictures for every one of his school’s clubs.
This gets the attention of the school’s main troublemakers, including Derf (Alex Wolff from Patriot’s Day). His parents are constantly squabbling, driving him deeper into his shell until the point when he decides, for no particular reason, to freak out in an attempt to shake up his classmates. Most of the other kids ignore him, as he quietly collects roadkill to experiment on in a laboratory he’s created in a shack behind his house. Set in 1978, the film takes place during Dahmer’s senior year of high school in Ohio.
#DAHMER 2002 ENDING MOVIE#
In this case, and it you haven’t figured it out from the title, it’s a study of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer in his senior year of high school, and it’s a very different movie than some might be expecting, since it’s more teen angst drama than horror or thriller. Marc Meyers’ My Friend Dahmer, based on John “Derf” Backderf’s autobiographical comic of the same name, is both, making it one of those rare movies like American Splendor that gives you a fine-tuned and specific view of a well-known person from someone who knew them. There have been movies based on true stories, just as there have been those based on comic books and graphic novels.
