	Elephant in the room - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The elephant in the room (also elephant in the living room, elephant in the corner, elephant on the dinner table, elephant in the kitchen, etc.) is an English idiom for a question or problem that very obviously stands, but which is ignored for the convenience of one or more involved parties.
		The idiom is also occasionally invoked as "pink elephant in the corner," possibly in reference to alcohol abuse, or for no other reason than a pink elephant is more visible than a normal elephant (and certainly more remarkable, since pink elephants don't exist).
		Gus Van Sant's 2003 film Elephant, which is named after the Clarke film, places the idiom in the context of a Columbine-style high school shooting — although this was apparently inadvertent, as Van Sant apparently believed Clarke was referring to the fable of the blind men and an elephant, each perceiving a different object.

	Elephant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The smallest of all the elephants is the Sumatran Asian Elephant (Elephas maximus sumatranus).
		Elephants have also been used as mounts for safari-type hunting, especially Indian shikar (mainly on tigers), and as ceremonial mounts for royal and religious occasions, whilst Asian elephants have been used for transport and entertainment, and are common to circuses around the world.
		Mahouts are often able to greatly shorten the duration of their elephants' musth: this is accomplished by tying the bull to two extremely strong trees, and keeping him on a starvation diet until the musth ends, typically after 5 to 7 days.

	Elephant London Movie Review
		Gus Van Sant appears to be going through something of a Bela Tarr phase at the moment — his previous film Gerry featured long, uninterrupted tracking shots, such as those favoured by the Hungarian director, as well as name-checking Tarr in the credits.
		With Elephant - which won two prizes at Cannes, including the Palme D’Or for Best Film — Van Sant puts his use of long takes to devastating use, literally following several high school kids around on the day of a Columbine-like massacre.
		The title, apparently refers to ‘the elephant in the corner’ — the problem that everyone chooses to ignore because it’s so huge.

		It’s almost the stage equivalent of the multi-layered video imaging techniques Peter Greenaway played with in his film Prospero’s Books, only more resonant and less indulgent (closer, perhaps, to Greenaway’s earlier, truncated collaboration with artist and poet Tom Phillips on A TV Dante).
