I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Good movie but grossly overrated
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Many said this movie is more directed to 90s since it's release at the period. I think it will still relate to some kids in present time. However, I do think that nowadays kids are more mature, and are able to think for themselves maybe due to higher standard of living and etc. I just feel that the film don't give good reason for kids to behave this way. Maybe the film can include scenes of how low socioeconomic status can cause these behaviors.
Every character in Kids except Ruby and Jenny are unlikable. Telly spends his whole day having sex with virgins and lying to them while also stealing money from his mother to buy drugs while they continue to live in poverty. Casper is homophobic, violent, and rapes Jenny. All of their friends are the same way as they try to mimic each other. Going to parties, getting drunk, doing drugs, having sex, repeat. While all this is going on Jenny decides to keep her friend Ruby company as she gets tested for STDs. Jenny decides to take the test even though the only person she slept with was Telly and finds out she's HIV positive. For the rest of the movie Jenny is on a journey through Manhattan to find Telly. After the rape scene, the most disturbing part of the movie is when Casper and a man get into a fight. He is beaten on the head with a skateboard by Harold, a friend of Telly and Casper's. They then knock him to the ground and Telly, Casper and all their friends continue to beat him senseless. As the camera cuts down to his face you see the afraid look in his eyes and all the blood dripping down from his head as he twitches. You know that they may have killed him. After, Casper and Telly discuss if they killed the man at the park or not. They seem to laugh as talking about the whole ordeal letting you know that these kids do not have any remorse for pretty much anyone. It is a shame that when Kids was released nearly 20 years ago the MPAA gave it an NC-17 (it then ended up being released unrated) and it stirred up a ton of controversy. Because, you see how important it is to teach people not to act like Casper and Telly and as easy as you may think it is, for some people it may not. The same circumstances that Telly grew up in could still apply to many people today. Kids is a wake up call to people that think children are innocent. That drugs, unprotected sex, and crime still are done by people under the age of 18. It seems that as soon as we become parents ourselves, we forget about all the bad things that happened during our childhood. But in reality, nothing has really changed.
At the start it looks like a little bit of underage kids doing adult things. But little did I know how old they actually were. My guess was 16. Turns out it's 12 and 13 year old kids in White Ghetto New York. It was very entertaining to see the average day in the life of late 80s and 90s kids. The kids are crazy, and quite frankly remind me of myself when I was that age. What with all the weed, drinking, and fun with friends. But I really related to the movie. I really found laughter and drama in what really isn't too funny a movie, and no this review isn't a review on the whole movie. It's my experience with the movie. 10/10 IGN, Would Watch again.
Kids sparked a lot of controversy when it came out because of the age of characters portrayed. It happens in New York although the message screams: "It could happen to you, as well." I was past my teens when i saw Kids and grew up away from the geographical location mentioned above. Although i could relate to most of stuff, there were some moments that didn't work out for me. For example, watching girls discussing oral sex wasn't convincing. On the other hand, it might mean i simply wasn't the target group of the movie.What Kids does well is showing growing up without much parents' involvement in an urban environment. In fact, after watching Kids you might even ask yourself whether you'd want to have children in such a merciless world. In the case that this is the real world, that is.
