"KIDS" is translated as "Semi-Mature Boy" . After reading it, I feel that this is more than half-cooked, and it's all ripe.
The film did not adopt a complicated narrative structure, but only described a day when a group of young people from the bottom of Manhattan skated, drank, smoked marijuana, and had sex. Compared with "KEN PARK" ("Heaven and Earth") , it is also a degenerate day for teenagers, but "KEN PARK" has more influence from the original family, and "KIDS" is objectively like a documentary. The seemingly random lens inadvertently shows the deep perspective of the life of the low-level teenagers in New York in the 1990s. Speaking of the United States in the 90s, it is easy to think of A24 's "Mid90s" ("Mid 90s") in recent years . When I checked the information, I found that the screenwriter of "KIDS" Harmony Korine also played a role in "Mid90s" , but I have to say and "KIDS" is simply small compared to fresh. Harmony Korine was only 19 years old when he wrote this movie in 1993, which must have contained his own experience and environment, so "KIDS" appears more real (details that cannot be restored in various settings), and the scale is bolder.
The movie begins with the love of virgin women and ends with the love of virgin women. The affectionate kissing and rhetoric brought the audience into a deceptive perspective, and were deceived by his gentle illusion like countless virgins harvested by teley. The director tries his best to describe these daily routines objectively. Except for the opening song, there is almost no soundtrack, which is the source music and ambient sound of the party. At the same time, it uses fast-sensitive negatives to create a sense of realism. In the first half of the film, it took nearly tens of minutes to shoot the dialogue between the young people of both sexes, and through the dialogue difference to complete the interesting transition. Dilapidated apartments, graffiti on the walls, drug use, and watching skateboarding videos all visually felt the atmosphere of that era in a short period of indoor dialogue. The film is like an overly indulgent teenage monologue. We can only substitute for thinking from different social atmospheres, rather than purely criticizing.
I have nothing but sex.
The director intends to shoot young people of different ages in order to more intuitively show the source of the influence of this depraved behavior. In the wee hours of the morning, a young body lies on the side of the party, and beside a sleeping child is a teenager who is having sex. On the old sofa at the party, we shared marijuana from a certain old man. At the door of the dilapidated apartment, there is a lonely girl holding a black baby. The girl who got HIV after only being in love once traveled through the chaotic streets and parties in confusion. At the last awake moment, watching everything that happened, I couldn't help asking Jesus God, what happened.
