Our Downward Spiral

Rating: 3/10 (26 August 2007)

After the first 10 minutes of the film, I was thoroughly disgusted with Seth's vocabulary. Judging from the reactions of the majority of the audience (laughing, snickering, even clapping) the antics of high school seniors qualifies as humorous entertainment. Not to me. The movie portrayed today's young adults as slackers, partiers, goal-deprived and just plain stupid in their behavior and thought processes. (Although, I'll have to admit that the liquor purchase sequence in BOTh the supermarket and the liquor store were well thought out and well choreographed, especially Seth's "mind's eye".) We saw the worst of our youth in this film. I pray that I don't need assisted living in my old age.
