Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Dirties is a 2013 mockumentary film co-written and directed by Matt Johnson. It premiered at that year's Slamdance Film Festival, where it won the Grand Jury Prize. Distribution for the film was assisted by Kevin Smith, who dubbed it "the most important movie you will see all year."Matt (played by Johnson) and Owen are two unpopular high school students making a movie about two victimized students taking revenge on a gang of bullies, a premise lifted directly from their daily struggles. Upon finishing their movie and showing it to their film teacher, the two discover they must completely rework it in order for it to be appropriate for class. While Owen loses interest in making the film and instead tries to woo the girl he likes, Matt becomes more and more obsessed with the idea of doing the movie, complete with a shooting scene, for real.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The entire film, with the exception of the last line, is improvised and was shot documentary-style with a tiny crew in real high schools. | |

Becoming the Mask | |
| The Dirties / int_44606d14 | comment |
Becoming the Mask: Reconstructed. While Matt certainly becomes the mask by the end of the film the question is exactly when this turns from being a performance to being reality. Was he always serious about the shooting? If he and Owen had stayed as close as in the beginning and/or Owen hadn't been successful with Chrissy, would it have all remained as theory? Is he actually aware that he's serious prior to losing his relationship with Owen? | |

Adults Are Useless: At the beginning of the film, real-life students and teachers are briefly interviewed about bullying. One of the students says the adults don't do a thing, and even when one tried to intervene once, they got punched. | |
