Movie Review: The Stark Truth of Kids Today
Summary: 5 Stars
Hey Kids-this one tells it like it is. The life of teenagers in America today, all the drugs, the alcohol, the illicit sex, and the dangers and diseases that follow. The film follows a group of kids in present-day New York through the course of a typical day of alcoholism and narcotics abuse. During the film, these NY teens engage in all the actions that your mother warned you about which culminate in a party at the end of the film that will stay with you for a long time. There are some great performances by some up-and-coming actors, especially Chloe Sevigny and Justin Pierce. Unfortunately Pierce hung himself in 2000, so we'll see no more of "Casper", although he did have a minor role in "Next Friday". I found the music in "Kids" to be quite compelling, and the visuals by Larry Clark are something to behold. If you have children, or are planning on having children, you owe it to yourself to see this film so that you can try to keep your own kids from ending up the way that the misbegotten youth in this picture did.Movie Review: This movie is sad but very true
Summary: 5 Stars
I have seen this movie and I would just like to say, almost everything in this movie is entirely true. I have read the other reviews from this movie and I am sorry to say teenagers today are like this. This movie is a very honest, blunt, and horrifying but I, all my friends, and any teenager that I've ever held a conversation with is almost exactly like all of these kids. No not all teens urinate in public an not all teens want to take everyone virginity, but dome of us do think of sex as an activity not something special and some do drugs on a daily basis. I am 15 years old I live in Cincinnati, Ohio. Not a big city, but big enough. Any parents who think their kids are horrible should see this film. This film can save many teens lives, by having safe sex. I will say not ALL kids these days are like this, but most are. Most girls are naive at 11-16 and do not care about looks as much as a boy telling them they love them. This movie is a must see movie. Parent DO NOT let your kids turn into these characters!Movie Review: Talkin' bout my generation
Summary: 5 Stars
I am 17 years old, but was 15 when I saw the film "Kids". At that time I had to take the required high school health class. I nearly told my teacher about this movie, but I decided against it. I'm not sure how adults would handle seeing this movie. Come to think of it, I'm not even sure I know how I handled it. It really made me take a hard look at the attitude of people my age. What shocked me more then some of the despicable things the characters did, was their overall sense of misdirection and ennui.My generation is bored, rich, and unsupervised. These are the facts, not merely my opinion. Oddly enough, I felt the most disturbing part of the movie was the ONLY one with a parent in it.(Telly's mother.) She had absolutely no consern about what her 17 year old son was doing, yet she brought another child into the world.Despite what other reviewers say this film is real, and it's happening in subburbs just like the one I live in. See the movie,it scared the living snot out of me.Movie Review: A Cultural Study
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is more than just a "Be Protected" sex-ed movie. It is a brilliantly filmed, excellently acted, synopsys of street life in the 90's. -It is a study of culture.
The 60's brought the freedom to be sexual, do drugs, and escape from the cages society had put young people in. Kids shows a world where kids are following the same rules as the 60's, but something is different. Now they are prisoners of their sexuality, and abusers of their drugs. It's like stepping outside of a prison cell to freedom, only to find that when you close the door behind you, you're just in another cell.
What do we do about this oppressive have-sex-as-soon-as- possible-and-abuse-drugs-irresponsibly culture? I don't know, and I don't think the director knows either. But these kids are the symptom, and the victim, of it.
Don't blame them.
Movie Review: Wish I had seen this movie as a teen
Summary: 5 Stars
I was 14 when this movie came out, and I didn't want to rent it at home with my parents, so I never saw it until now, 10 years after the release. I wish I had seen it when I was the age of those portrayed. I grew up in suburbia, but there were skeezy guys even there who cared more about scoring than about a girl's life. All kids should watch this, especially girls, so they know what they're up against. The "coolest guy on the block" could actually me the most disgusting and someone you should avoid at all costs.
This is an exceptionally bleak portrait, and it isn't representative of all of America's youth. It was eye opening to see what a lack of purpose and direction these urban youths had, how they had nothing to lose, even at age 12 or 13, nothing to look forward to. I recommend this movie to everyone at least once.
