Customer Reviews of SLC Punk
Bridges the gap between time and subculture I saw SLC Punk at a party when I was in high school. I'll admit it, we were punks (or tried to be) and that's the real reason we rented it. We thought it was going to be a funny look at punk's past. We were wrong.
Don't misunderstand me, it was that, but it was also something more; something...deeper. Through amusing situations and a great script, this film does more than entertain, it makes you think. Amid an avalanche of subculture references, this movie does what many others fail to do- it tries to explain teenage rebellion for what it is.
This film is about fear and love and life and death, and you really feel connected to the main character, Stevo. It's emotionally captivating, and I'll even admit to crying a bit at the end. There is a scene when Stevo finally realizes what it's all about, and this punk was smearing her mascara.
This movie is good for everybody, though, not just those who understand the punk point of view. So after I saw this movie, I showed it to my purer than pure teeny-bopper sister, and you know what? She enjoyed it as much as me. She understood the main character's feeling, and for the first time, she understood mine. She still thought I was crazy, but at least she understood why i lived and acted the way I did.
I grew up, and out of my punk ways, and realized the theme of the movie:Punk is about rebellion, but you cant stay one forever, so enjoy it while you can.
This movie holds a special place in my heart, and I give it my highest recommendation.
Punk explainer
Now, if your not a punk, and have no idea what it is, then this movie will explain a lot to you. I originally bought this for 4 bucks because it has some great music in it, but watching it was a pleasure. The terms have changed through the times (mods are rudies or rude boys), and there are some gaps left out of the punk scene, no skins, but overall it was great to remember what it was like. It captured the no-cares attitude I've had for a while, but it also showed some of the end result, without damning the middle to uselessness. Lillard was great, Goorjian was devilish, I loved their acting. What this lacks in story line, it makes up for in laughs. I've shown it to all the non-punk people I know, and they love it. I have to explain a lot to them, but it's a great insight into the life. I hated to see it end!! This is definitely a great one to watch before going to a show, it released a lot of the pent up tension, and while the punk show they showed was a lame representation of what it's like now, it got the juices going. I wouldn't recommend this if you are a prep, or have something against angst and self-destruction, but otherwise it's great!
Perfect?
This movie is a great example of what good film making is all about.Stevo and Bob are both good people at heart,but are caught up in rebellion.This movie will make you think hard about your values.It shows you to be yourself no matter what.Watch this movie and be prepared to think!!
