Harmony Korine is a douchebag.


How, for so many years, has this no talent piece of *beep* continued to get work, knowing that he will make something so tasteless and so deplorable? He writes about nothing but *beep* for a living and yet he gets rewarded for it. That scares me.

I'm with you. Whatever did Chloe Sevigny see in that fool to live with him and be his girlfriend? This film is a piece of crap! I absolutely hated it.

Wasn't aware that relationships should be based on the quality of your partner's work.

Yea, it's awful. The most authentic film ever made, completely defining the Youth of an Era, wonderfully written and shot perfectly... Terrible

reply

this film does not define "the youth of an era" however it does define a small percentage(probably 1% much like bikers) of "youth of an era"... For those of us who have lived it we know it and recognize it like the back of our hands..for the other 99% that conformed and stayed within the boundaries of society they will never understand that what Korine and Clark managed to capture in this film...

reply

I wouldn't say 1% though. Kids from across the Country could relate to the sense of Hopelessness the Nihilistic Attitude that Korine and Clark showed in this film. Whether it's Poor Kids in Big Cities, Rural Areas or even the smaller, yet impoverished Cities of 100,000 plus. It definitely was a larger group than you'd realize.

I'm from Norway and even me and my friends could relate to that film.

Try coming here then. You could totally relate. The US is a cesspool and this movie is very accurate about what it is like here. Just be happy you live in Norway. I have a friend from Norway and he came here to study and he was shocked at how the US really is.

Well said

Harmony Korine's writing has almost always been a darker vision then what most Hollywood writers come up with. his work is bad for you and that is ok. my main point is anyone in entertainment has at least a few fans


Rob Zombie is one of the greatest directors today

Based on interviews and such I think Harmony Korine is well aware that he's a douchebag who writes about douchebags.

reply

Some people can't deal with the fact that the US is one of the shittiest countries in the world. Anyone who shines a light on that for the rest of the world to see is a douchebag.
