THE DRAMA Ending Explained, Movie Review & Deeper Meaning

Arguably, Rachel bullying a disabled classmate and locking them in the woods is even worse than Emma planning a school shooting. While having a cousin who was paralysed due to a school shooting is a LITTLE understandable, she still comes across as a major hypocrite, treating Emma as though she ACTUALLY went through with her plan.

It's super hypocritical of her husband an friend. They were so horrified because Emma was an example of how bullying can push is to extremes. Considering they were unrepentant bullies, they saw what could have happened to them

Something someone on reddit pointed out is that the fiancé's bullying could have been something that would cause someone to actually want to commit a shooting.

Why is everyone overlooking the positive impact Emma had after deciding not to go through with the shooting. She became an activist and convinced her dad to get rid of his guns not knowing why til the wedding

Trust the bully to act all high and mighty and assume they have a higher moral ground! Rachel acted as though it was Emma who shot her cousin!

Seems like its intentional that the two white characters brush off their actual abuse and pain they caused with laughs where as the 2 black characters really didnt do anything and the one that actually didnt do anything....is the harshest judged.

The lack of empathy or concern from Emma “friends “ is so telling - the fact that not one of them asked or questioned why she would even plan such a thing - speaks volumes.

No thinking is not worse than doing something. It was also when she was a young teen when he brain was not yet fully formed and the teenage years can be the worst and most confusing time is people's lives. Going through the changes of adolescence and not being a kid anymore but also not being an adult.

It’s so messed up that they were ostracizing Emma when they did worse. And the fact the movie had to be all about Emma’s thought of doing something because she was bullied when they actually did the bullying to someone else, someone that could have easily been Emma herself. What does that say about our culture. It’s like when it’s the victim’s fault and not the aggressor.

I feel like the filmic definition of a twist has changed recently. It's a revelation, a surprise. It is definitely not a twist.

There was no twist in this movie. There was plot unfoldment but nothing could be defined as a twist.

So basically this movie is about a bunch of bullies upset someone didn’t go shoot up a school for being bullied… saved me a few hours. much appreciated mate

First of all she didn't do it, second of all she became a spokesperson against firearms possession, isn't that more than enough to redeem whatever thoughts she used to have as a teen?

What did you think of The Drama? Was it better or worse than you thought it'd be? Share your thoughts in the comments!

I think what made someone stop is important and she had a change of heart. They were definitely worse than her because it didnt change them as people as much Emma

I'm confused why there is a debate on which is worse: thinking vs doing something. you can think anything. but they didn't go thru it.

9:24 it’s sad that two people can look past their differences because they love each other and want to be together? Wtf are you talking about bro

So how many kids would Rachel need to lock up and abandon for dead for her to feel like she is worse than Emma?

She didn't do it. People think about doing all sorts of horrible things, but as long as they don't act on them, all should be forgiven. In my opinion, the rest of the tables actual actions are far more unforgivable than Emma's thoughts! 🤪

Ive never really hated a movie, until this one.
