A review on Kids
I thought kids was a perfect example of how the youth today is. I think that most people would be shocked about the marijuana use, the sexual activity, and the violence, but it was more of a shock to me how close the movie was to reality. I dont think anyone has ever been able to face the facts and make such an excellent movie about the realities of being a teen, not just a street teen, but any normal suburban teen. Though the dialect in which they talk is a little bit extreme (not the cursing, just the black accents the put up, though teens do use it, but not that extreme). The rest of the movie was really excellent and especially the part in which "Telly" is giving everyone the HIV virus, the irony in this is because of the sexual obssesion his best friend "Casper" ends up getting it as well. I think that adults would not be able to handle this movie, because of all the negative criticism they would give out, and they would probably think kids would get influenced by this movie, and that is exactly what the movie is saying you can not turn a blind on things and you can not just think it's not happening. I think "Kids" is an excellent movie on the realities of teen life today and i rate it 5 stars.
