Bad Cinema: Kids

The film 'kids' shown in the Being Bad lecture was suppoesed to be shocking when it was first produced in 1995. I must admit I only found two scenes shocking. The first was when the man was beaten up and then spat on. I hate spitting. It should be made a criminal offence. Think of the hygiene and spread of diseases. The second scene was the dog being kicked.
Promiscous sex exists. Violence exists. Drug taking exists. Rape exists. HIV exists. Perhaps this type of film is needed to show society what is happening.

I understand that this type of film is not to everybody's taste and I agree that it is not the type of film that I would watch a second time. However, people need to be aware that type of behaviour does exist. I certainly would not be recommending the film. Judging by the amount of Youtube videos on this film it seems to have developed a cult following. Therefore, perhaps the end result has actually been an endorsement of the film by its cult following. After all the film was made over ten years ago and Youtube has not been around all that long.
