Reality the way it is, not the way we want to see it.
"Kids" is an outstanding work of art and poetry. Reality is not always a pretty thing, and this movie shows us that. The actions and situations portrayed in "Kids" are true to life, not exaggerating anything. "Kids" gives us an insight into the part of our society that we, as grownups, have come to look away from and ignore. This is how our kids grow up in the city and the suburbs. At some point in the lives of our children, they will run into this kind of adolesent lifestyle, and we as parents need to be aware of the trials and tribulations that our kids must go through to reach adulthood in these modern days. Children are growing up faster and faster, we wonder why; and then Clark shows us the reality that we have shut our eyes to since the days of our own childhood and wakes us up to what is really going on. We don't want to see it, but it is definately there. An excellent movie that everyone should watch and learn from.
