Watch Gummo For Free

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Powerful

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Don't Believe the Hype

I had seen scenes of this movie in random horrible deep web videos trying to be scary, and I decided to watch this movie. This movie is truly, honestly.. about nothing. There is no plot to this movie. Honestly, nothing happens that changes a character in any way, nothing happens that moves the plot forward, because there is none. The movie is a bunch of scenes of people in a city in Ohio, living degenerate lives, basically doing whatever they want to do. I'm writing this review directly after watching it, and as of right now, I can't think of any reason why this movie exists. I don't say that as a negative, but as me admitting that I have no idea what this movie is trying to say. Maybe the point of this movie is to show how horrible people can be, but I'm not sure in the slightest. The one thing I can give this movie is that its got some pretty memorable scenes. This movie has a lot of nuggets of goodness in it, cinematography wise, while also trying to be intentionally bad looking sometimes, which I personally take on the stance that its intentional to make the movie as dirty and rough as the world the characters live in. This review might be a little all over the place with the tone, but I honestly think this movie's alright. Its not terrible, and I wasn't even bored in the slightest watching it, and I believe the director did what he was trying to do; make a rough, dirty, pointless movie about life in a world with degenerate people. Footnote: I find myself confused on if I should even check this "contains spoilers" checkbox for a movie like this, haha.

Trash cinema comes in many forms. Funny, shocking, confusing, offensive, scary. And then there's Gummo, which, I guess, is a mixture of all that, and also, just plain pointless. But hey. Not all movies need a point to be entertaining, or to gain a cult following. A fact which makes writer/director, Harmony Korine a very lucky man. Because, even after watching his masterpiece (?), I'm still not convinced this guy has all that much talent. But he does have some pretty unique stuff going on in his head. And above all, that's what Gummo is. Whether it's a good movie or not is debatable, but let's just go with unique at the moment.About a town full of backwards, hateful dicks who have simply given up on ever being anything. A bad tornado hit this town some years ago, and things were seemingly never fully restored. Ignorant, aimless and bored, these hateful dicks love killing and torturing cats, running their mouths about nothing, getting it on with retards and just hanging around and being trash. Some of them get in fights with chairs. Some of them even win. Hell, some of them enjoy eating spaghetti whilst getting their hair washed. But I don't think any of them are very happy people. And they'd probably prefer to live somewhere else, but are too lazy and stupid to take the steps to do so.The movie seems to revolve mostly around some ugly little pussy kid who's probably an ass hole, yet, we don't get very many examples of this. The kid pumps iron, using handfuls of spoons, and apparently needs his mother to bath him. There's also some other little weirdo kid, wearing a pink bunny hat, and wandering around in his own little world. I'm not sure what he symbolizes, if anything, but like everyone else, he's just there, existing. Despite everything I've said so far in this paragraph, There's something very real about this movie. And surreal at the same time. It almost comes off as some kind of bleak documentary about a small town full of trash, where a bunch of stuff happens.As a lifelong cat lover, I find it hard to watch a cat get hurt or killed, even in a movie. But strangely, I see the treatment of felines in Gummo as somewhat fitting for the characters, as they just naturally feel the need to bully and destroy the only thing they see as beneath them. Adding to this perfect portrayal of hateful, pathetic trash.After despising the abomination that is Spring Breakers, I thought I'd give Harmony Korine one more chance to prove himself not a talentless POS. And much to my surprise, I'm glad I did. I think I actually get Gummo, and even have an appreciation for it. However, I could easily see someone hating this as much as I hated the obnoxious Spring Breakers, because one thing Gummo (and Spring Breakers as well) is not is a likable movie. Seemingly no story, with just a bunch of random scenes put together, showcasing these hopeless citizens and their attempts at killing time and, I guess, having fun. But if you look a little closer, it's clear that these people's behavior tells the story. loud and clear. And it's not a pretty one. Of course, this is not the most entertaining movie I've ever seen, but I'll give Korine one thing. Gummo is far more entertaining than it should be. 6/10

The first time I watched Gummo it seemed off putting then watched it a second time and realized it's beautiful raw view of personalities. The films follows characters from a community of interesting personalities so strange that it may seem hard to watch. Gummo is a blank canvas that was splashed with all sorts of Colors. Colors that you don't see normally. Burgundy, off white, turquoise and the army green. Dot is a turquoise wave I want to ride with. Gummo has a creepiness that feels childhood is being violated. Harmony Kiore's warped adventure holds your eyes to the screen.The music brings you up and down from sing a longs to dark heavy music. A deeply pleasurable film I highly recommend. samhain666klik

In my opinion it is an important movie. It's an aberrant creation, but I love it. The director try to show everything for you how can be gruesome the life. The actors is incredible and the direct too. I wonder what Korine was thinking while direct this movie. He sure can an interesting guy. I meet with he with pleasure.Other his creatures are awesome too - all movie are an interesting experience. I think people can understand to essence so much, however it is very important in my opinion.It's an masterpiece for everyone. You must not be an artist that you feel it.This is an underground recorded for some people who can understand what say it. Must everyone see it!
