Speak (film)

Speak is a 2004 American independent drama based on the award-winning novel of the same name by Laurie Halse Anderson. It stars Kristen Stewart as Melinda Sordino, a high school freshman who practically stops talking after being raped by a senior student. The film is told through Melinda's eyes and is wrought with her sardonic humor and blunt honesty. It was broadcast on Showtime and Lifetime in 2005 after premiering at the Sundance Film Festival in 2004.

Plot

14-year-old Melinda Sordino (Kristen Stewart) starts out her freshman year in high school struggling on the first day. She doesn't have any friends to hang out with, and appears awkward and uncomfortable when speaking to others. Throughout the day, she is pointed at by many students and is repeatedly called a "squealer". A series of flashbacks reveal that she called the police when at a house party during the previous summer. Her real reason for calling 9-1-1 was that she was raped at the party by a senior student, Andy Evans (Eric Lively), but while on the phone, she was unable to talk to the police about what happened, and when the police arrived, she did not report the rape. The party was crashed, causing mayhem and everyone to flee from the police.

Speak

by: Godsmack

Free, you better love me
And hide or run away
From all your yesterdays
Speak the truth or make your peace some other way, oh yea, yea
Well I never knew, but I believe that your trust in me
Will speak to me!
And way beyond your controlling mind (mind)
And no more believing in all your precious lies
Speak the truth or make your peace some other way, oh yea, yea
Well I never knew, but I believe that your trust in me
Will speak to me!
Speak the truth or make your peace some other way, oh yea, yea, yea
Well I never knew, but I believe that your trust in me
Will speak to me!
Speak the truth or make your peace some other way, oh yea, yea
Well I never knew, but I believe that your trust in me
Will speak to me!
Speak the truth or make your peace some other way, oh yea, yea
