Kids caused uproar when it was first released and was instantly set at an 18 rating. The film was also banned in some countries. The director of the film Larry Clark, believed all parents should see the film as a warning to them and that they should make sure that their children weren't doing the same.
Kids is about a young boy named Telly, who's main goal in life is to have sex with as many virgins as possible he claims that he is a "virgin surgeon", he only sleeps with virgins as he believes that he won't catch any STD's from them. It is not long however before one of his "conquests" Jennie realises she has HIV and attempts to track Telly down before he sleeps with any more young girls.
This film shocked me, the girls that Telly was sleeping with were only 12 and 13, they had only just hit puberty and yet he was taking away their virginity. In my opinion it is not right, children of that age having sex. Not only is it illegal but they are also too young to understand that it is something special and not something that should be done to please ignorant, self centred lads like Telly.
Another part of the film that shocked me was the young lads doing drugs, they were damaging there lives at such an early age.
Although Kids was not a real life story it shocks and disgusts me that this sort of behaviour goes on. What happened to the days when children acted like children? Why is it that kids today grow up so fast? Why are they in such a hurry to grow up?
Here is a review of Kids
