KIDS - 1995

I think the HIV/AIDS thing would fly over a lot of their heads and instead have them idolising Telly for his slick ways. I think if the context was properly explained and understood beforehand it could be effective.

That was definitely my friend. We were in high school when it came out, but I didn't see until I was almost 30. But I remember him coming back from the movies after seeing this, and he was all on how slick Telly was and how he got p*ssy. Yeah he got HIV/AIDS at the end, man that was fukked up. But he could get that p*ssy though! He's a cop now.

Well yes and he looks to be in very poor health and that was basically 20 years ago.

Man is crippled he would have gotten help.

It's not "real" at all. Everything about the movie was exaggerated to seem more edgy. The used real settings, music that heads knew + some of the folks in the film were known throughout the city. But the craziest possible thing happened in pretty much every scene, that's not real.
lol at a bunch of pothead white teenagers jumping on a full grown, able bodied Black man. Not happening. Maybe they beat up a wino or something, but not what you saw. Those types of kids weren't moving around the city with that level of comfort.

If you follow the work of Larry Clark, you'll know he's not interested in realism. He's fixated on young people engaging in perverse activities.

I’m going to have to disagree. Skaters really stuck together in those days and everybody was about that action. I knew allot of that crew and Chloe and her girls really carried guns. I think you got to remember the 90’s was not about social media clout but real clout.

You must have grew up in your room and lived life looking out your bedroom window.
