KIDS - 1995

[Dushane Hill]

I'm late to the party but I only just saw this last night.



Thoughts on this?

I found it to be disturbing and unsettling to watch.

Especially the date rape scene.

Literally threw away the DVD.

Always remember the ending man and thinking how fukked up life can be.

One of the GOAT films

Watching this in the 90s as a kid who didn't know any better, and later in life as an adult is mindblowing.

When I was a kid, my thoughts at the end were

Spoiler

Damn, now he has AIDS.

As an adult, I thought

Spoiler

that's rape!

film was unreal to watch as a kid

so realistic that it felt more like a documentary than a film with actors

do yal think this is something you think kids should watch today or is it a bit too real for them?

I think it could be an education tool

So I just read the girl Telly makes out with at the very start of the film was meant to be 12 even more fukked up considering he probably gave her HIV. Interesting in the epilogue how he mentions fukking is the only thing he lives for, which probably means even after being informed he had HIV/AIDS he still went around fukking raw. Interesting take on kids/teens living in the moment, being irresponsible and misinformed.

Which other films has the girl who played Darcy been in? Looked v familiar.

The guy gweting jumped at the skate park was interesting too

I think the HIV/AIDS thing would fly over a lot of their heads and instead have them idolising Telly for his slick ways. I think if the context was properly explained and understood beforehand it could be effective.

Yeah, cause I learned literally zero lessons from Menace II Society and mainly just glorified the violence (Boyz n the hood did a better job at conveying a positive message imo)

It's not "real" at all. Everything about the movie was exaggerated to seem more edgy. The used real settings, music that heads knew + some of the folks in the film were known throughout the city. But the craziest possible thing happened in pretty much every scene, that's not real.
lol at a bunch of pothead white teenagers jumping on a full grown, able bodied Black man. Not happening. Maybe they beat up a wino or something, but not what you saw. Those types of kids weren't moving around the city with that level of comfort.

If you follow the work of Larry Clark, you'll know he's not interested in realism. He's fixated on young people engaging in perverse activities.
