Disturbia

Shia LaBeouf/ Kale Brecht
Shia Labeouf’s character Kale Brecht is the image of every teen boy that loses his father at an early age. Seeing as how Kale lost his during the age when a close bond is already formed and he lost him during when they were on a bonding trip, it makes makes him troubled, to which I can fully relate. The comment from his Spanish teacher, doesn’t help either, which causes Kale to punch him. Doesn’t seem like something that’ll actually happen in real life but it happens in the movie thus causing him to come under house. His boredom takes him from troubled kid that punches a teacher, to a certified stalker that knows each of his neighbor moves and has it timed exactly, especially as he spys on the girl next door. This within itself screams “Help, I’m crazy, and need professional help. Then he goes from spying to accusing one of his neighbors of murder adding more to the cry for help. I can see him being troubled for the lost of his father, but I don't see how that leads into him being a stalker, kidnapping children maybe, but not stalking.
