Storyline
In this scathing and subversive social comedy, life in post riot Los Angeles is dissected under the sardonic eye of John Boyz, an unemployed thirty nothing flounderer on Venice Beach who is trying to figure out what to do with his life. John can't be bothered with apathy, but no matter how much he wants to help people, he is too immobilized to do anything useful. Haunted by chronic insomnia and impending sense of doom, all he can do is watch, and John is an avid observer. Through his voyeuristic binoculars, he struggles to make sense of all the alienation and disaffection he sees in his neighborhood. In his journal he meticulously chronicles the mundane down to steadfast march of ants across his kitchen counter. John is desperately trying to keep one meaningless day from blending into next.

In a time when the majority of us forget what happened yesterday, this movie will preserve a cancer on our country, and a moment in time that was indeed depressing and sad. This is one of the most real movies I've ever seen. The soundtrack is incredible, along with everyone who played in it. It isn't just a history lesson, it's a lesson in humanity and the fact is that this occurrence has forever changed the future makes it a truly awesome film. This movie is not for your typical small-minded, Hollywood fluff viewer. I would suggest anyone with a progressive bent for music and movies, and anyone who has stepped off the beaten path- see this movie. One more thing, considering this movie is from 1994, and today it's 2005 and that I own this movie and only got here because I was looking for information on one of the artists because I watched it again yesterday....it's a great film.
