Kids

It is wrong to consider that this film is nothing but a stupid tale of what immoral teenagers do in society and that it has no effect on the viewer accept that he/she is overcome with a feeling of disgust as to why such films are allowed to be produced. This film is unique in the aspect that it is presenting teenagers engaged in immoral practices of all kinds. The shocking images of Aids, phidophile tendencies, drugs, violence etc… will create disgust not only in the minds of the adults but also in the minds of teenagers. This film is good for the teenagers, who engage in these activities and specifically for those who have an intention to engage. The effect should be very drastic because the movie is so open in its shocking speech and imagery.

I remember an Indian film I had seen called 'Chakra', though that film contained less shocking images, it was about a young man, who smoked, drank and liked visiting prostitutes, where he was treated with great respect being a regular and generous customer. He presented himself as a guy, who knew what he was doing, confident, a worldly wise man and infact a likeable character, a character most teenagers wouldn't mind becoming. You know...the guy, who has a drink in one hand and a beautiful woman in the other. However in the end we find this same man infected with STD, no money, chased by the police for stealing - to conclude he was in a pitable condition. I've never forgotten this film, though I had seen it about 20 years ago. It left an impression on me - an impression that all that glitters is not gold. I was a teenager then, but after watching that movie I never wnated to be like this character.
