R.I.P to Justin Pierce , Harold Hunter and Sajan Bhagat (Paul). Film is a NYC masterpiece but it seemed to have taken its toll and some of the cast .

If you like that movie, check out "Bully"...it's not as good but it's from the same director

I forgot the director's name, but he's been accused of being a borderline pedophile because all of his movies involve underage sex
Larry Clark is a pedo and a dope fiend.
His movies after Kids got progressively worse, save for Bully.
They all hinge on teenagers having sex with mad male and female nudity.
Ken Park ended up not getting released. Hollywood quit fukking with him after that.
James Ransone, who we all know better as Ziggy Sobotka from The Wire, has an autoerotic asphyxiation scene in the movie where he jerks off and busts for real in that movie, and they actually show it.
I'm telling y'all that as :dame: warning if you ever seek that movie out.

That movie is immersive. Its like a time capsule. Anyone know of any similar movies from around that time set iin the city?


Darcy :takedat:
Hollywood did another Kids-like movie called Alpha Dog.
That movie was a true story. It was pretty good but hard to watch.
The acting in this movie was top notch.
fukk Justin Timberlake but it was his best acting by far.

Kids isn't what I'd call a great film.
But it is noteworthy for a few reasons.
1. It put an unforgiving spotlight on what the results of lazy parenting are and how early and deeply kids are corrupted by street life.
2. The realism of the movie is something rarely achieved in film. Clark's use of unknowns was a masterstroke at blurring the lines.
3. It jumpstarted the careers of several people.

When I saw it, I was just happy that I didn't run in those extremely dusty circles.:scust:
I knew mfs who lived like that and while I wasn't a Cosby kid by any stretch of the imagination, that level of gutter never appealed to me.

He was a cameraman for Manhattan Public Access TV back in the days.
