tThis movie glorifies promiscuous sex
or am I missing a point here?
shareI see your point but I think it's not so much glorifying but more holding up a mirror to a particular section of society.
Also I'm sure that getting jiggy isn't the only thing these kids do in their everyday life although as its a LC film then he likes to pay particular attention to this activity.

Oh, so he has other movies aboout teen sex too? What's with his obsession on the subject?
shareThe first of his films I saw was Kids (1995) which is similar in style and could almost be a prequel to Ken Park. Although its not as explicit.
And as far as his obsession goes, well, he's old enough to be their father and then some. I'd be worried if I was a male actor in one of his films.
"I'm scheming like I'm dreaming on a couch with my feet up."
male and female actors, I guess. Unless you're a porn star, you'd probably be a bit disturbed by his directions in his movies, lol.
shareWhy would you be so "disturbed" acting in a film like this? I would be disturbed if I had to do a love scene with Maeve and they taped my privates in place like they do in some "main stream" movies. If your an actor, it's acting and no more serious than an onscreen kiss.
shareHe wants everything to be so close and explicit, isn't it disturbing?
shareSex is an every day part of life so what is wrong with showing it in all of its beauty and nastiness. Are you trying to to tell me that you have never had an unpleasant or uncomfortable sexual experience?
HELP ME!!! I need to know if I am alone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFzThGyt5vM
This guys not doing it for any other reason then to have his fantasies realized on film. Don't be fooled there's no message here. Other then sex is used to keep things interesting for the viewer yeah sex is a part of life. A very small part at that its not as important as this guy makes it out to be. If he wants to send a message about terns he should pick better subject matter with actual importance. Other then kids tucking and doing drugs

Sex is a very small part of life? Hahaha. Sex IS life. It is the reason every one of us exists and is one of the prime instinctual motivators that drive most of our actions.
Life is not the opposite of Death, Death is the opposite of Birth. Life is eternal.
