Bad Cinema

On week 9 it was Bad Cinema we watched a film called 'KIDS'. Larry Clark produced and released it in 1995. They gave the film a NC-17 so that no one under 18 could watch it. That is how BAD they said it was.... It felt like I was watching a documentary on the lives of teenagers doing all the BAD things that society class as BAD from smoking, taking drugs and having sex.
I was watching the film and thought that I was the same age or older than these 'Kids' in 1995 and I was amazed not because I'm a prune or anything but on what they actually was doing cause I never dreamed of doing such a thing. Basically I never seen 'Kids' before and here is a story cut short:-

The main characters were Telly & Casper and we follow their quest to sleep around. Telly liked young virgins who he told sweet nothings to, to get them to sleep with him... Anyone older would never fall for the bull that comes out of his mouth cause he's so bloody smug you would feel like hitting him and his friend Casper was a drunk and drug user who ended up raping Jenny when she was drunk and stoned surrounded by sleeping children.... need I go on...

I never felt sorry for Telly at all, but later on in the film it turns out that Jenny had caught HIV from him this is the guy who only apparently slept with virgins.... I did feel really sorry for her, cause she only slept with ONE guy and her friend who she got tested had slept with NINE and was clear. I felt the message that Larry Clark was portraying was that it can only take ONE time to have unprotected sex and catch AIDS or other STI's . That is why their was a lot of problems trying to release this film, because the individual never wanted to know that their child could be carrying on like the 'KIDS' in the movie... If I am honest the smoking, taking drugs and having sex is what society see as ADULT stuff, it would have been a waste of Larry Clarke's time using ADULTS that's why he used 'KIDS' instead to make it shocking and no one would have learnt the lesson he was trying to get make. There was a scene that I found disturbing when loads of kids started fighting this one guy and nearly left the guy dead. This reminded me of what is happening in the world now. I have seen this with my whole eyes and its not good at all. To me KIDS in society nowadays are either doing ONE or ALL of these things fighting, drinking, taking drugs and the raise in sexual transmitted infection has rocked so its like history repeating its self, which is really really BAD.

I just wish that 'KIDS' wasn't so quick too grow up.
