KIDS - 1995

[Blankthawtz]

classic....even as actors the shyt seemed too real.......it blew my mind first time I seen it....

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.

I know like 3 or 4 people in that movie. All bit parts. Actually, the only person I know with a speaking part is that girl who was talking about how she loves to fukk or something.

I feel you that the moment to moment shyt was exaggerated, but at the same time there were plenty of kids living like that. as far as just hanging out, drinking 40's, smoking trees, hopping turnstiles, fukking girls, etc

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

Damn, now he has AIDS.

As an adult, I thought

Spoiler

that's rape!

That’s crazy thinking about it, that didn’t even cross my mind then.

I was in a movie called king of la that never came out. you can find it if you dig online, stars saul williams and leo fitzpatrick aka telly

 

[Ciggavelli]

The crazy thing was that Harmony Korin wrote this and he was like 18 or something. Larry Clark just directed it. Harmony based the story on real-life people he interacted with in Manhattan

 

[FaTaL]

Haven’t seen Telly since the wire
