Well, yesterday my roommate and I watched Ken Park. He had seen it before, but it was my first time. All I feel like say is that is the most fucked up movie I have ever seen. Just when you think that you've seen fucked up, then you see Ken Park. In Ken Park, it goes from fucked up, to extremely fucked up, to oh my fucking god fucked up, and then just "God damn!!! That's fucked up!!"

I don't even get the story. Especially Tate's. So his grandfather cheats on board games and his grandmother won't respect his privacy... whats the deal? Of all the people, it seems like Shaun has the life, he's screwing a MILF and her daughter.

Spoiler but summarizes the film's "fucked up"-ness:

Spoiler

This movie starts in a teenage suicide and ends in a teenage threeway.

Explicit sex, pretty much pornography level (actual oral sex, "money shots" shown)

And it has the guy from "Coach" in it.

I feel like I need to go to a mental ward now after watching this.... insane shocking movie.

If anyone can make sense of the insanity, please do. If not, join me in the asylum.

Yeah, that'd be Larry Clark for you.

I thought Kids was great but I really hated Bully for some reason. Haven't seen KP yet.

The movie is the most nihilistic piece I have ever seen. I have seen Kids and Bully, but this... this just takes the cake. I am a vivid fan of hardcore porno ( :lol ) but even the scenes in Ken Park turned my stomach. I mean, for example....

Spoiler

Tate masturbating to Anna Kournikova playing Tennis, whilst hanging himself, ie inducing autoerotic asphixiation (sp?). Of course cum shot follows whilst he hangs himself. It feels like this scene is five minutes long, just non stop showing him masturbating and then finally the money shot.

I know a lot of people are going to say and have already said "but this film is art!!" I am a defender of art, I think artistic expression is great but...

Spoiler

Claude's Dad pissing while drinking beer at the same time, wouldn't be so bad if the camera doesn't pan to his dick while he's pissing and does a close up and holds it there for like 2 minutes in an action that screams "LOOK, ITS A DICK, AND ITS A PISSING LOLZ!!! OMG SHOCK-AND-AWE!!!"

Is that really god damn necessary?

I feel like I've seen the most fucked up twisted shit ever. I swear, if someone was even slightest depressed and they watch this, they'll probably say "fuck it I'm done, what a fucked up world this is" pull out a gun and blow their head off.

Hell, I feel like locking myself in for PTSD after that shit.

Just another film about kids having sex from Larry Clark...

 

[RobotChant]

It wasn't good, and I like Clark. Bully and Kids were really good, but KP was probably an ego massage.

Yeah, I don't doubt Ken Park is a bad movie, the issue is if it's fucked up or not, and I still can't get some of the images out of my head, I even look at porno on a regular basis, hardcore stuff :lol and Ken Park seems more EEEXXXTRRRREEEEMMMMMEEEEEE!!

Spoiler

YOU LIKE THAT PISSING DICK CLOSEUP SHIT MOTHERFUCKER??? ISN'T IT FUCKING EXXTRRRREEEMMMEE?!?!?
