But what I would have liked personally would be some more interacting with the main idea of Ken Park. If this was just a collection of random kids that kind of knew each other, then this idea would of work, and in this film it does. Aside from basic information mainly saying if the childâ(TM)s parents are alive or not, we are literally thrown into their life and we see things from a nonbiased view point. Over the course of this film, we are introduced to a group of dysfunctional, emotionally destroyed kids and the amount of back ground we get on them is next to none. The main plot (actually lack of) revolves around this kid named Ken Park and his apparent suicide and the impact it has on what little group of friends he had. The way this film is structured is what really gets to me. And my main reaction is that Larry Clark has guts to make this film, and in terms of content and how it is shot, this film was ahead of itâ(TM)s time. Years from the time it was released and me hearing all about this film, I finally get to see it. When released, the amount of controversy this film sparked was unbelievable. With this is mind, it is no wonder that Larry Clark is the man that directed this film and the writer is Harmony Korine. This is due to the film featuring graphic scenes of abuse, sexuality, suicide, and constant drug abuse done in a way that you rarely, if ever, find in American cinema. This is one of those films that has went and pushed the boundaries of the rating system here in America to such an extreme that it is beyond difficult to find this film legally.
