Talkin' bout my generation
I am 17 years old, but was 15 when I saw the film "Kids". At that time I had to take the required high school health class. I nearly told my teacher about this movie, but I decided against it. I'm not sure how adults would handle seeing this movie. Come to think of it, I'm not even sure I know how I handled it. It really made me take a hard look at the attitude of people my age. What shocked me more then some of the despicable things the characters did, was their overall sense of misdirection and ennui.My generation is bored, rich, and unsupervised. These are the facts, not merely my opinion. Oddly enough, I felt the most disturbing part of the movie was the ONLY one with a parent in it.(Telly's mother.) She had absolutely no consern about what her 17 year old son was doing, yet she brought another child into the world.Despite what other reviewers say this film is real, and it's happening in subburbs just like the one I live in. See the movie,it scared the living snot out of me.
