After watching this movie based on real events, I felt that the director himself wanted to make a movie with social significance and a voice for marginalized groups, but he may not have enough skills, and spent a lot of time paving the way for young people who also live in the United States. , experienced two very different ways of life. But I have to say that the narration of Marilyn Manson at the end is really worth thinking about, and it is also the finishing touch.
Seemingly indomitable American punks, they drink, fight, arrogant, and indomitable. Destroy everything - is their slogan, but the status quo is just a group of low-level young people who can't even pay the rent. They just dominate the music, satirize the society, and complain about dissatisfaction.
It seems like a group of educated and energetic star college students, they go to famous universities, they have a shining halo, they are the future of the United States, but in fact, they fight, drink and pick up girls,
In 1997, in a small town in the United States, several youths playing a band had an argument with a group of high school students, and then the conflict escalated. The two groups fought several times, and finally the boy Brian was driven by the impulsive high school student Cohen. After the crash, the conflict ended
However, it seems to be a simple and clear killing incident, but in the court, there is a staggering deviation,
Cohen was convicted of manslaughter, not only did not go to jail, but was acquitted, and punk teenager Brian, was killed again in court
He's educated and promising, and the judge doesn't want to believe he'll kill on purpose
He slammed the society, complained about everything, and his slogans were full of aggressiveness, like death without regret.
Eventually Cohen's parents took him home, and Brian's parents didn't even get a chance to look at him again.
Is heresy just be damned?
In fact, the real punk is dead, and today's punk has no choice but to return to the mainstream, from extreme anarchism to anti-war, singing some teenagers' thoughts. Punk itself is no longer offensive.
Although punk has developed to this point, in the eyes of the public, in real life, the little freshmen who are dry and full of ornaments are still heretical. Heresy or damn
The definition of punk in the dictionary is still worthless, aggressive or violent youth, usually hooligans and gangsters, sociopath
A lawyer's definition of a punk: they chose a way of life to terrorize those around them, you could even say he was doomed to die that way,
The final verdict of the jury also tells everyone that prejudice under the tinted glasses is deeply rooted in everyone's heart
Just as punk graffiti was beaten by the police, high school students rallied and set fire, the police just told them to go home quickly,
Brian didn't die under the tires, he died of prejudice, the way of life he chose.
People are always afraid of things that are different from themselves, afraid of those who bravely assert themselves. This prejudice is undoubtedly stupid and ridiculous.
What's even more ridiculous is that this prejudice still exists and is getting worse today
From the very beginning, punk only opposes the mainstream through music, complaining of dissatisfaction, while the mainstream opposes heresy, it is a multi-pronged approach and can't wait to add the name of a cult and terror.
So I like how Kurt Cobain expressed it:
It is better to be reborn in nirvana than to live with the last breath,
It's not these punk youths that's wrong, it's the world that's wrong
It is difficult for an individual to be independent from the system. From the moment of birth, the society always transmits to you what is right. If you do not choose the lifestyle of most people, the society will abandon you and give you a label of worthless .
Is adult entertainment killing our children, or is it killing children to entertain adults?
