Gummo was very good. I thought it was a documentary really. The actors didn't come off as actors at all and I am sure that some of the people used were just being themselves. I thought the movie was very funny and honest. People are actually like this in real life. The music was put in the right places- I especially liked the bike scene at the beginning when the two boys were riding down the hill- the one kid looks like Johnny Rotten at 14. The reality of the film is rather depressing but this is what a lot of America is like- the grimy scene when the two boys get milkshakes was a great slice of the crappy culture that is much of the United States and of the world. Very good film all around. Nihilistic.
