this is not one movie from which one can expect a good time rather this is one of those movies which will eat you away for the next few days..the movie is outright SHOCKING to say the least..the desperation in the characters crosses all boundaries..the boundary of 'that you can't do that,this is the limit' is mercilessly broken in this movie....it will provoke a strong thought provoking process culminating in your thinking that the teenage life sucks..and thats exactly what Larry Clark wanted...it also made me wonder whether these things really happens in real in the western countries because i have never been there...it would therefore be wrong for me to comment whether this movie is the correct portrayal of the American teenagers.. there are a few scenes in this movie which i think deserves special mention for its immense shocking value..the nudity shown in this movie is nothing compared as the nudity shown in Larry Clark's later works namely 'ken park'..but as a whole i think it is much more shocking..the guys do drugs until they are almost dead..they rape 13 year old girls..the ogle at the breasts of their friends mother in front of their friend and also comment on it...the main protagonist knowingly spreads AIDS by luring young virgin girls to have sexual intercourse with him,they mercilessly beat up a black guy due to some very minor reason,and never bother to feel bad later,they make fun of the Asian man in the shop...and one cannot miss that the protagonists also has a very humane side to them..they give alms to the poor and also take time to see a performance at the station...this indicates that they would have turned out to be perfectly fine if they were under proper guidance and love.. altogether they lead a lifestyle which many teenagers may idolize to lead,but at the same time as many teenagers will try their best not to become like them.....this is exactly the reason why i liked this movie and gave a 10/10 rating...it will provoke some thinking or the other ..you just can't ignore it ...any movie which has this capability can be considered great..
