you dont need drugs to watch that garbage. you dont really need anything. this "film" is way overrated, tries way too hard to be groundbreaking (failing on every level), and is really just some stupid ass waste of film from an amateur that got way too stoned. and i like bizarre, indie films! i've heard this shit been compared to David Lynch...what a joke. nearly any serious film fan will tell you...just awful. the meaning of the "film" is that it is completely meaningless. Korine has even said so. he just wanted to make a shock film with no merit whatsoever, thereby making this "one of the worst films of all time." It's an obvious sell to many of those who feel cool for "getting it," though there is NOTHING to get...and it's hilarious when people try to back it up.
Reer!!! (uh imagine that as some angry cat noise with some sort of hand gesture accompanied). I totally agree with you that it's over rated though, and agree with you even more that the David Lynch comparisons are a joke. My biggest agreement with you is that there is nothing to get, because yea... there really is nothing to get. I think there is some value to it though, for some odd reason it fascinated me. I'd like to think it isn't for the shock value of it all, but that very well could be the case. I found the bunny boy scenes to be endearing. I also enjoyed whenever the older of the two main male characters had something to say. Hopefully you don't take this as me attacking your opinion as I totally am not whatsoever, and I agree with a majority of what you said. I just think that people are entitled to enjoy (or not enjoy) whatever they want without being considered a lowly hack, with poor taste in film fan due to their viewing choices. Trash film is fun sometimes in my opinion, not that I completely think Gummo is trash, it's just not the spectacular be all end creative genius that it sometimes is touted as, in my opinion anyway. Not to sound cliche throwing around cheesy quotes, that's why they make more then vanilla ice cream.
