Anyone Fans of the Controversial Indie film THIRTEEN?

This is one of the best films I have ever seen. It is about a 13 year old girl who becomes friends with a bad girl and starts to get piercings and do drugs and get tattoos and she starts having sex with black kids and hating her mother and it is really emotional and well acted by the young cast. Any women out there who plan on having kids NEED to see this film, and for you guys, if you wanna see hot white girl/black guy action, this is the film to see. Have any of you seen another similar "bad teens" film called KIDS?

 

Yes, it's a terrific film - Holly Hunter puts in a great performance as the mother, almost as good as she did in the Piano.

 

Yea, this film is about Courtney Love when she was 13. j/k

 

disturbing but not a fan.


I love Red , White and Blue by Kieslowski

 

"I love Red , White and Blue by Kieslowski"

Me, Too Man...

"WHITE" is my favorite of the series, a totally mesmerizing plot. and Poland looks like a very interesting place.

 

i dont know which one I like best--maybe Blue. I like the French Actor--Daniel Atueil and of course i love Juliet Binoche.


I love the move "Dreams" by Akira Kurosawa

I like the Swedish Movie---Eleg

also Swedish--- Idiots

French/Romanian movie--Gadge Dilo

Il Postino

Czech films are good too---- "Kolya"

some good Afghani films too--Osama

all over the world, brilliant and the hollyweird ones just dont matchup

Brit films are brilliant(very intelligent, like they have actually thought up the dialog, not just to titilate teenage boys like alot of American films do).


Some good American films though, but they are Independent mostly

 

Other than Il Postino, I have never even heard of ANY of those films LOL!

 

Yeah -looks like some money has come towards certain parts of the British film industry, and it is rising in profile again.

 

Peyback, you live in New York City and never heard of these films?? thats hard to believe when most get played in NYC, Los Angeles and just big cities.

Ever heard of the New York Times or New York Magazine?? check them out some times

the Angelika Theatre is right next to NYU and the big Indie Bookstore and shows all these films

 

"Brit films are brilliant(very intelligent, like they have actually thought up the dialog, not just to titilate teenage boys like alot of American films do)."

YEAH, a few months ago I watched two British "gangster comedies"

"Love Honor and Obey" (w/ Jude Law) and "Sexy Beast" (w/ Ben Kingsley)

Overall great and fun to watch movies, and the humour so subtle....

International films rock.....

 

yes, any good african films to speak of ?? i love west african culture--the music of senegal is so lovely

 

Thirteen was a good movie, but not because of the sex. I'm not too keen on watching 13 year olds having sex, even if it is interracial. What made this a good movie was the dramatic storyline and good acting. Here are two other entertaining teenage coming of age movies:


WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE - This movie came out in 1995 and it's a comedy-drama that will keep you laughing and reminiscencing your middle-school days. It's funny, but it will make you think too.


HURRICANE STREETS - This movie came out in 1998 and its setting is the streets of New York. It's a teenage drama and even has an IR relationship between a white guy and a Latina where the girl's father disapproves of them seeing each other.

One thing both of these movies have in common is that Brendan Sexton III stars in them. Just like Julia Stiles is known as the white actress who doesn't mind playing roles involving IR romance with black dudes, Brendan Sexton III is talented at playing the streetwise white kid characters (otherwise known as "wigga" by some on this site). All I know is that he's a very good actor.

Peace.

mosiah, you got that !! i love Welcome to the Dollhouse

i also likeChristopher Guest movies---Best In Show and Waiting for Guffman and Mighty Wind

 

I'm not real keen on films implying that a young WW having sex w/a BM has reached some new low...like its the last step on the road to complete and total degradation....maybe its just about a 13-year old having sex and not who its with...but.........

 

wiggers or wigga, is the name white suburban kids give themselves, not what some on here give them. they invented it as a put down/identification of black culture

 

I don't think the film really takes that line...the black boys are just the popular boys in class, it's a very mixed race school.

 

Agreed, and if you haven't seen the movie 'Kids', then don't. A long time ago, someone I knew as a teenager showed me that film, and I swore to NEVER watch that shit again...

and, the black kid in it was one of the ugliest people I had ever seen.

 

That's what makes it racist.

 

I agree Sardonic, but it seems others think that blacks made the name (wigger) up, while it was the suburban white kids who thought it up and use it as the term for white kids acting stereotypically poor ghetto black

 

Either way, no one should say it. It implies that being/acting 'black or ghetto' is 'niggerish', meaning dirty, evil, stupid, bad luck, lazy, etc., so that's my beef with it, for the most part.
