KIDS



When i found out that we would be watching a film called Kids 1995 which was band by Warner Bros i was really intrigued into what all the fuss was about. I had never heard of the film before and knew from past experience that band films such as Clockwork Orange 1971 were band for good reasons.

"Opening to the amplified sound of passionate kissing, we find Telly (Leo Fitzpatrick) locked in embrace with a barely pubescent girl (Sarah Henderson). With soothing words he massages her ego and fears, telling her how much he cares for her and how she's the only one. Resolving her major worry, which is that she doesn't want a baby, Telly unclasps her bra and moves lower".

I found the opening scene really awkward to watch because it felt wrong to be watching two young people doing that. As the film went on i couldn't believe what i was watching it was discussing.
The film follows the kids throughout the day as they skate, smoke and drink. It involves racism and rape which are apart of life i agree but i felt as if there was no point in putting them into a film, it gives the impression that it's not that bad as it's allowed to be viewed in cinemas. People idolise films at times such as Chucky 1988 it can be peoples excuse for certain actions seen in films and obviously this isn't the case at all.
I don't think the ban on this film should have been lifted, it shows disturbuing images and gets children acting in a discussing manor.
