What’s worse is that when Clare does finally understand that the box is killing off these people, she still keeps making wishes. Clare never feels compassion once her bully rots. The bullying that Clare goes through is nothing more than elementary school tactics, so wishes of death or harm are a bit extreme. The key thing is that Clare never feels bad for anything she’s done. In the beginning, you understand her frustration and when her bully suffers the fate of one of the wishes then you go along with it. In fact, Clare actually becomes a terrible human being as the film progresses. Or if a bully is picking on a gay student, it may be the fact that he/she is gay themselves thus the reasoning for picking on that particular being. There are plenty of instances where bullies have differences that can make them sympathetic such as he/she has a miserable life thus they take their frustration out on others. One of the main issues is that the filmmakers don’t understand that a character just being bullied doesn’t automatically mean that they’re a likable person. The movie gives the protagonist the generic bullied storyline so audiences would instantly gravitate towards Clare Shannon.
