How did it end? (Obvious possible spoilers)


I recently watched this for the first time, but the copy I had wasn't complete. It only went as far as Ken Park and his girlfriend sitting on a bench and Ken asks her if she wants to keep the baby. (This is immediately after the extended threesome scene with Shawn, Claude and Peaches.

Also, does it explain more as to why Peaches' Dad made her "marry" him?

And on another note, like a lot of people this movie disturbed me. A lot. I've never been a huge fan of Larry Clark because of his huge obbsession with adolescent sexual themes, especially graphic ones. That being said, I give the man a big thumbs up for this movie because it DID actually make me feel something, even if it was disgust. Too many movies out there simply leave you uncaring at the end. At least this one brought some emotions to the surface, even if they were negative. So in that aspect, Clark did a great job.

I didn't take the time to browse through all the comments so it may have already been mentioned, but as a skater from the '80's I also appreciated the irony of having the title character be named after an actual pro skater from that era. There was a pro skater named Ken Park that rode for Vision skateboards. Although the similarities end at being named the same, it' still a rather interesting coincidence.

That is how it ended, the credits roll right after that scene. Sort of like a full circle back to the beginning when he commits suicide in the same exact place.
