Kids (1995)
vain sacrifice
Are you telling me that the young men who died in The Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam died for this type of culture or even the opportunity to choose it? I don't think so, Mr. Clark. This culture exists because we perpetuate it through MTV and movies such as this. I guess this is what I missed in high school. No loss. This movie represents the excess of liberal permissiveness and how the road to hell is paved with good intentions. What can be done for the lost inner-city youth? Nothing short of a simple choice by parents to take an active interest in their child's life by controlling their environment and choosing who they will hang out with, what they will view on television, what grades they will get, how much they will study each night, what type of clothes they will wear - all of that, backed up with consequences for failure to comply.
Hud (1963)
a fine American movie
Hud is the finest American movie ever made. One hundred years from now people will want to know who we were, how we lived and what kind of problems we faced. Hud is a great movie not only because it is a great story with great actors, great direction and a great score but also because it helps future generations understand us. It is a great human interest story, a classic story of right and wrong. The movie gains power because it is shot in black and white with a spare score; and it is not afraid to experiment as when Hud Bannon (Paul Newman) refers to Lon (Brandon de Wilde) as Fantan. The scenes of everyday Texas in the 1950s are pure Americana. This movie is as refreshing today as when I first saw it as a boy in the 1960s; and the performances have not aged.
