Bad Cinema


'Kid's' 1995,
But what was bad about it wasn't the sexual imagery or the drugs, drink and smoking. It was the rawness of it. Its been said that this film has been cleverly devised to cause scandal, that i would say was right.
You really couldn't honestly say that the film wasn't a realistic depiction of how teenagers and people can be in today's society because sadly it was.
Whats shocking in the film is Telly and Casper's casual attitudes towards drink, drugs and more importantly sex.
It wasn't a bad film, the film was not evil or deviant, i think its just there to bring to peoples attention that fact that we like to think children and teenagers are innocent, this is more socially acceptable.
But children ad teenagers can be deviant just because a film decides to look at things from this angle does not necessarily mean it is bad. The film is just very socially unacceptable.
But amongst this films controversy i think it sends a message that people need to be aware of Sexually Transmitted diseases and how easily they can be transported from one person to the next. This film is good at raising awareness of that, so its not all bad.
I think that Bad cinema involves films that are just very controversial and upset certain if not all members of society, the same could be said of bad television or books and even art.
But to me Bad cinema involves films that are simply difficult to watch but because they are offensive but because they are rubbish. For more information on rubbish films check this outhttp://www.razzies.com/default.asp
