I'm glad you posted your comments for this film hengcs, a lot of the problems affecting the kids in the film are universal from gang fights to drug taking and even suicide.

The thing is 15 looks as though it was made to appeal to that age group, teen angst, depression, loneliness, fear, all interspersed with MTV style breaks, these are the people who can't see it. The first segment is fine and works well but as you mentioned, "The two additonal stories kind of make the movie slightly draggy and less compact." I also felt that in a way it glamorised the lifestyle of these kids, the false bravado, the South Park style animated sequence, the stylised gang fights and was not as effective as the Korean movie "Tears."

The one thing I really didn't like was the fact that they were pushing the film as "reality" when it's obvious that some of the scenes which were supposed to be "reality" weren't, I refer to the supposed swalowing of the condom full of tabs, there is no way in the world that scene was genuine, if anyone tried that as full as it was they would choke to death.

So a stylised short film that should have stayed short. Two stories that while noteworthy are being hyped up for the wrong reasons, I have no doubt that some kids in Singapore commit suicide, offend adults, especially when in a group, have gang fights, take drugs etc. These are all universal problems, we get all these issues in Wales, I didn't expect the film to give hope or solutions but I didn't expect the "POP" style presentation that makes it all look so cool.

Cheers Trev.
