That movie is terrible. A complete drugged up and drugged out director exploiting people from different walks in southern culture basically for his own personal amusement, and then people like yourself think they are being so deep and that it is this artistic, multi layered, avant garde masterpiece... Kids is so much better with real cultural messages, commentary on a potential fucked generation, and a realism that is raw but digestible. That movie was directed by a far better director in Larry Clarke but Harmony did write it and have a lot to do with film. God I hate Gummo.

There's another interview where he says he was tripping and thought he saw a gun in her purse, and then proceeded to play with her gun. When Letterman knocked, he responded "come in" in a girls voice(because he was tripping) and then was caught shoving whatever he thought was a gun back into her purse.

Most film makers have parents that either made films or either they have parents that are privileged in other ways. But people always focus on people without context and think it's all in 'our own hands'. For many in less privileged classes/lives , making movies and practicing many other arts isn't even an option, it is not even alive in the mind as something that one can do. I just wanted to share this shit.

@mineralt 3 жыл бұрын

That’s a defeatist attitude. You are coming up with reasons why you can’t do something. A lot of young people have this crazy idea that life is all worked out by 20 or something. Please, I changed careers completely in my 40s, and I mean completely, and I had been a president of a company in my 30s. If you want to be a filmmaker, start. People fail because they are scared to start.

It’s so easy to pick up on the cues that he’s so uncomfortable in front of the camera but has such a personality for it and is unbelievably smart. That’s why he writes the film and doesn’t star in it. He knows what it needs but can’t perform it himself.
