the massacre of Virginia Tech

Yesterday I was terribly busy but could hear about the case at lunch time.
As many as 32 people were killed by a korean student.
'Columbine' case came across my mind, and immediately movies "bowling for columbine" by Michael Moore, "Elephant" by Gus van Sant, are also. Those movies seem to try to find the cause of Columbine in the same but different ways.
Now many people wonder the why and many news and broadcasts are finding it out. In only two days news reports said love affair might be the main reason of this tragedy. I'm not saying that is not a reason. but i think we are too hasty.
2 movies were released after several years from cloumbine case, furthermore do not conclude reasons. For example, Moore asks cynically playing bowling game before the day is also one of the causes. And Sant shows a few days of the two boys before the day in ethical ways, repeating scenes, choosing the ratio of screen, trying not to be a spectacle, and so on. and we can find those thing in his other movies, like Gerry, Last days, both are based on true stories about death but fictions.
I feel closer and sadder about this tragedy because of the relation with Korean. as always I am mournful and fearful of living in this world after a certain tragic thing.
Someday someone would make a movie about this case. I hope the movie would be made by a director who believes a good movie makes a better world.

I pray for the repose of the departed
