Huge fan of Kids!!!! Movie of a generation. It was an eye opener.
I'm just waiting for the Criterion Blu-Ray restoration. Anytime now guys.
mikeylikesit100 That and Gummo
Hugsbunny311 yes!!!
Seriously ! Like wtf ? They put out Armageddon but we can't get KIDS or a Harmony boxset with Gummo - Mister Lonely ?
@@_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ THANK YOU! 🙏🙌
Literally.....
Man, Harmony "You can't really get lost in movies now, cause everyone has GPS", so profound
Man, it really is. And you can look at that statement both figuratively and literally.
That’s profound to you? Dull.
@@sealife12 you sound like the dull one here
@@Dwight2744 crwzy!!!!
he made up for it with the explanation of the 'jaws' device
Fitzpatrick should have been 10x bigger than what he is. Infact, he should be where Shia is now. Brilliant actor and artist.
Are you Fitzpatrick?
Absolutely right man.
He’s too rad to become a tool for the mainstream. They couldn’t handle him. It’s not always a negative thing when an artist isn’t popularized. It’s better in most cases, the work they’re doing can change people.
hollywood didnt give him a chance to show his full potential
Agreed
Glad to see Harmony and Larry Clark in the same room again. When they linked up, it was amazing. Kids and Ken Park.
DEMOZ DEMOZ

Yeah, it’s been such a long time since Larry first molested Harmony. If it wasn’t for that, this movie wouldn’t exist 🤣
Ken Park sucks
Richard Rude wait what?
Harmony wasn’t involved in the filming of Ken Park. He just wrote the screenplay. Larry Clarke made it into a film without Harmony years later
As a dude grew up in the countryside watching this movie from a VHS tape I found at thrift shop back in 2006 is what convinced me to STAY at the countryside where it's nice and peaceful ☺
Napoleon Dynamite is to me what Kids was to 90's skater kids living in New York.
😂😂
Casper the dopest ghost
+Ephrem Goldstein wtf
+Ephrem Goldstein wtf
+Ephrem Goldstein go to hell wtf is wrong with you
Ephrem Goldstein damn bruh you sus
@@freakbuck he sings that in the movie
Shout out to all the actors though... you were all great. Lol Chloe is like wtf am I doing here
I was a skateboarder in the 90’s. I even had brief encounters with a few of the people in the film through those circles, Harold (RIP) etc….
I remember watching this film and feeling seen. It was a documentary of sorts. It did capture what it was like in more than a few groups of kids around the country at the time. Including my friends circle.
Now that I’m older I get the sense of horror older people felt seeing it back then. At the time it was as if someone followed us around for a day, felt normal, like a documentary, not disturbing. Now it fills me with dread and anxiety knowing I survived those days.
No doubt, I remember this being life at 15 in 95'. Only my life was alot more heavy
I'm 38 years old. I only watched Kids for the first time a month ago. It mortified me. I couldn't be seen without my skateboard in the 90's and my "friend" circles were very similar. It never dawned on me until watching it, just how close I was to teetering off the tightrope. The sexuality was comparably imperceptible in my groups, but the substance abuse and aimlesness was like watching home movies.
@@3rdgenfitter269 I believe some of the drug use footage is basically home movies. Dude just got groups of kids together, got them fucked up, drunk, whatever, riled them up, pulled out the camera and filmed it. No script etc. edited it into the rest of the scripted portions of the film. It’s partially why it “feels” real. Because it is partially a docudrama. He does the same thing in a different film. The scenes with Mark Gonzales “the gonz” wrestling the chair. That’s basically the same thing. It’s maybe in Gumo?
@@3rdgenfitter269 the way skate videos were booming in those days it wouldn’t have seemed out of place to have someone filming. Another reason it just worked. Especially that time, skateboarders, etc.
such a phenomenal movie! but I re-watch it every couple of years, and it keeps getting better and better... utterly remarkable how realistic and relatable it all is - for all of us who came of age in the mid-90s, this was a startlingly real and hyper authentic viewing experience... no other movie comes even remotely close - it's our generation's Easy Rider, a true masterpiece
RIGHT ON !!! You stated that SO PERFECT !!!! And even with all the bad in this film , it really makes me miss our youth in the 90's 😁😄 .. It was and IS the perfect observation if you will , of everything coming up in the 90's was for some of us .. punk rock , skateboards , raves ,, and dare I say ,,, ACTUALLY KNOWING PHONE NUMBERS !!!,,, BY HEART ! 🤯😳😲😉😁☺️ CHEERS !! 😊
Duck Grenadine I feel the exact same way life changing show for me...
Yo imma put you through a wall. I be like I be like ughhhhhjhjhnhhhhh
That was quite a synopsis of what was one of the rawest movies I watched as a kid who grew up in the 90s. And seemed to do the same for many others. I was born in 1983 and grew up in the sticks my entire life, and still live in a small town, yet it struck a cord. I still think about it regularly but haven't seen it but that one time and I can't stop searching for it. I would b extremely grateful if someone could point me in the right direction so I can view it again.
Rest In Peace to Justin and Harold I remember them the most from kids.
I don't know why these two don't collab on more projects. They seem so inseparable, they understand each other, and they both have such a unique and authentic way of storytelling. The ONLY other film they collaborated on was Ken Park.
Justin Pierce will always remember you
It's weird to see Harm and Chloë on the same stage after all this time. I can't get over how good he's doing now. When I discovered Harmony, he was MIA. I never thought he'd make another movie.. Thank god for methadone... not trying to be funny, for real the guy would probably be dead now.
Brandon Thorpe Yeah, just listened to him on WTF with Maron. He sounds really good. Chloe doesn't look thrilled to be there. Leo F. seems kind of awkward, too.
Brandon Thorpe hell yea methadone saves my life and my husbands!
Brandon Thorpe Wasn’t Harmony & Chloë in a relationship after this was filmed or something? Glad to hear he’s doing well too! Been a fan of his films ever since I saw this back in ‘98. 🖤
Thank you for explaining.
This movie was like reading an Anthropology essay on Street Kids
Although Clark and Korine made a spectacular film they were not the best people to the cast members.Note, they only gave $1000 to each kid even though the film made $24 million. And after they finished filming they blocked the kids from
going to the film festival or press conferences. They even stopped talking to them even though they had followed them for years. Korine wasn’t even interacting that much with the skaters until Clark got involved. That is why so many of the original cast was forgotten so easily. The original skater family had no support system like the ones shown here and that’s why none of them are in this interview.
Not hating on the three wonderful actor/actresses here though. Just stating that they came from different areas/ backgrounds compared to the teens that Clark originally filmed before the film. So this may have played into their later successes.
So when you get a million dollars to make a movie you have to pitch and make a budget. They had 30 crew members. They had to buy music rights. They had to hire lawyers. They had to pay the city. The people who made 20 million were the same people that put up the million. And as far as they knew maybe the movie would only make a 100,000 grand and be a complete flop.
If someone pitched this movie who would put up a million for it most of the people were novice. It was a pretty far out gamble. Like 20-1 odds
I’d bet harmony only got ten grand for it. But he did get future work.
I was born in 84..I remember hearing about this movie when I was in fifth grade , started skateboarding in 7th grade and hanging with some older skateboarders who acted suprised that my young ass hadnt seen it .. I watched it with these older kids who took the film as a way of life, what they wanted to be , and I felt horrified and excited all at the same time .. growing up with these guys and now being 38 and still knowing some of them ( the ones that stayed here and didn’t leave or die ) it’s very horrifying how much we thought this film would be or could be us , that our lives at such a young age should have looked the way they did in this film , and that we did indeed transformed our lives in some aspects accordingly .. fuk man. I don’t know if this film saved me or ruined my life .. but I do have a lot of fond memories ..
I remember smoking at a local spot, and skating off with the song Casper skates off to, as I blew out the smoke
@@ChiralityPracticality I only remember one scene where Casper skates, in WSP right before beating up that guy. Was Casper the friendly ghost the song you were listening to? Sorry this is such a specific thing lmao, I'm just trying to picture the scene
The word you're searching for is "docu-drama".
Almost gave this movie a standing ovation but I have no legs
The backstory of the movie is just as intriguing as the movie itself there's a doc called “we were once kids"
I would love to have a spliff & beer with Harmonie & talk about life now & then & how he sees the world! Very interesting person & very under appreciated as an artist!
awesome film
It was a time before the internet, so we socialized a lot more. Without cell phones, we had to leave early and show up on time.
Legends
I think that KIDS was sort of the Shadows of the 90's. Larry Clark is a big Cassavetes fan.
“ it’s just me Casper”...
I have no legs. I have no legs. I have no legs. I have no legs. God bless you. I have no legs...
Will Byrne this looool
Kiss me I'm polish
Anyone know how we can see this whole video
this movie was a documentary for me and a lot of other kids that were around back then. great times
it seemed like an old film in the 90´s like a fairytale of an earlier era
I want to see Darcy.
XXTALEN
Awww, you got a thing for her, yo!(in Casper voice)
yakira peguero
Where is the girl who plays Darcy. I want to know how the film had an impact on her life
Indeed! Me too man.
Her and the 12 year old Telly bangs out in the first scene...
Dickbrain McGee
Sadly, they died from AIDS😔
Pelom Pelon
No. I mean I don’t know, but I was just joking
Pelom Pelon dumbass, he’s referencing the movie since Telly had AIDS in the movie
this is crazy to listen after the documentary of 2022 by eddie martin
Yeah that documentary is thought provoking how Larry exploited those vulnerable kids and people like Harmony and Chloe didn't look out for Justin and Harold like she was filming American Psycho while Justin was in a dark place like she's relevant due to those two legends
Recommend everyone see Once We Were Kids.
Some of the actors are interviewed there 27 years later.
Harmony and Larry aren't angels.
I thought the moderator was Adam Driver. I was like "wow, he really changes his voice for roles".
🍄🍄🍄Skating. smoking OG .. graffiti when I was growing up in PHILLY.... watching KIDS is the reason I took a trip to NY .. WOW I LOVE NEW YORK !!!!🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄
Got it on VHS,Great film
Why isn't this sold on dvd or bluray anymore?
The first time I had ever heard of KIDS was when I saw it on the shelf in a Target store about six years ago. Sadly I haven't seen it for sale anywhere since.
+Matthew Denney you saw it at a target?? Holy shit hahaha
Yeah I was browsing the DVD's and two guys standing near me picked up the movie. One of them said "I remember watching this, it was messed up", so naturally I had to buy it lol. Glad I did because it's one of my favorite films now.
Cayden its kids being kids. What happens in the movie isnt new to anyone
yung god .... YEP YEP !!! ... Unless you were/are a kid who was extremely sheltered ... It's pretty much , and very very sadly is in parts ,, kids ... Nothing new as you say 😊
remember seeing this movie as a 17 year old middle class suburban kid in CT...and going "...wtf kids live like this??"
Mine
Same here, grew up upper-middle class and suburban, and kept thinking that the film was a foreign world to me. I think that film applies only to a certain group of people who will find it relatable.
I was 21. Just a few years out of high school. I came from a small California desert town. The shocker for me was the AIDs subject.
@@kamilyakadyr7063 I grew up quite middle class and suburban and the movie wasn't that outlandish to me. Kids can grow feral like that with no supervision, no role models, no structure, no goals. There were a few teenagers in the town I grew up in who acted pretty much like the main characters in Kids. I avoided them and they probably considered me dull
Can we discuss how gorgeous chloë is
utopia
What? She’s aged like fresh fruit. She looks super old for her age👵🏻
yes please
@@richardrude9087 A woman doesn't have to be youthful to be gorgeous, she is wise, independent and creative which is admirable and attractive for me in anyone.
Chloe was the it girl in the 90S ..she made few music video , Sonic Youth sugar kane PLUS Marc Jacobs WAS is in the video.OH NYC IN THE 90S .....LES AND SAVE THE ROBOT AFTER HOUR PLACE ....SAW DUST AND ALLL.
@@dellee6723 she was cute in the late 90's
panel hosted by Kyle Mooney
Where Darcy?
I wish Harmony could have hooked Harold up with an acting role on Gummo.
yung god .........
That's 100% true ! That movie was in my era , and it's about KIDS being KIDS ,, the good , bad , cool , and all the shit that goes with it too 😊 . And yeah , it was a hard film to even watch BACK THEN for me . My opinion , the only thing that changes about kids in any generation , is mainly style of dress , pop culture , and music .. other than that , again just my opinion ,, same old shit , different generation ,, AND THANK GOD we didn't have cell phones then ! We were able to get away with A LOT and not have people/parents tracking our every damn move 😁🤗 ...I wouldn't even want to know how much dumb embarrassing crap I did that could've ended up on the net and couldn't be deleted .. to me , that's the scary part for kids now .. the whole .. once it's "out there" , it's OUT THERE thing .. too risky/ scary to be a dumb ass kid now 😳😬😄😊🤗
Glad I grew up in that era and not now.
I turned 18 in 2003. I didn't realize that the fun would be over in just under a decade. Millennials may have been the last to experience reality uncensored. Now everyone has a camera and is just waiting to find a reason to be important. Being a sellout, is now call being an influencer lol.
@@psychedelicfright85 How funny ,, I was 18 in 1993 ☺️😁🤗
@@Christa.Francis I remember being in 2nd grade then, and they had us in the cafeteria, listening to a speaker about HIV.
@@psychedelicfright85 ☺️ AHHHH THE 90's 😃☺️🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Cool tongue sounds.
🍄🍄LOVE THIS MOVIE...IT FELT LIKE MY LIFE WHEN I WAS 14-17 👍🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄
what about the guy with no legs or the strange accordion scene? were they real people not knowing they were being filmed, or were they cast? the in between realness of the outer cast was fascinating.
A lot of the scenes are “real” like dude just got a bunch of kids, a lot of them professional skateboarders from the era, bought them beer, bought them drugs, whatever, then filmed them getting wild. He did egg them on. My guess is the no legs and accordion scenes are similar.
Yes. The “I have no legs guy” I used to see on the subway. That was real
No Casper nd Telly :(
Jack Skibinski Telly is in the middle of Chloe and Rosaria
The actor who played Casper, Justin Pierce, is dead. He killed himself back in 2000.
two of the pro skateboarders casted in the film, Justin Pierce and Harold Hunter have since died
If you switch out the Aids situation with heroin addiction the movie kids perfectly in bodied my childhood of the early 90's. So it is very hard for me to watch because I knew kids who were caricatures of these roles in the film..
"That movie could never exist today, for a lot of reasons, but like this is pre cell phone… so you could never make that movie cause she could just call him on his cell phone.. you cant get lost in movies anymore cause everyone has GPS.”
I could apply that to real life as well, not just movies.
It’s amazing that movie even exited back then they had underage kids drinking and doing drugs on camera. I’m surprised it didn’t turn into a police investigation
Those r some o my favorite films. That go go thing. Men at Work, tho the second half sucked and was basically a repeat, that Robert Pattinson bank robbin one that came out a few years ago, intense ish.🛸
What happened to the boys who smoke weed shirtless in that party?
Phistra one of them is a pro skater I think his name is Javi? Javier? Nava?
they all became doctors & lawyers... 😁
so sad justin died:((
Jesus none of them want to be there. Why is rosario there? Shes a big star now. No can can string a sentence together.
+Neil Godfrey : That was her debut in film. Plus, she has so much respect for Larry Clark. Why wouldn't she be there?
As an actor I understand why they are there I mean come on its the film that got them they start into the industry and the rest is history never forget where you came from ! This has nothing to do with this but I always say that Zac Efron is of course an A Lister but hey when we see him who do we see Troy Bolton that’s where he blew up from! But
???????????
Yakira Peguero (Darcy) retired from acting after Kids. She never did another job as an actress after the movie. She also retired from public life. Guess she was deflowered for real.
LEMON FACE sad she had no one protecting her.
man, i wonder how did larry clark establish friendship with teenagers at a time.
he wasnt a snitch, plain and simple
@@icebiirb9440 thanks for replying!
@@icebiirb9440 gawd why are all these avatars styled like our generation now
He bought them weed & liquor 😂🤷🏾♂️🥃
It’s interesting that the one thing that was really added on and they admit they knew nothing about was the AIDS storyline. Now, 30 years later we know it’s extremely unlikely for that aspect to happen. It’s hardly ever spread by vaginal sex, especially if it only happened once. I can see why they wanted to include that in the film so that there can be SOME consequence or closure to all this wild behavior. But Harmonie used to say he wanted to it be sort of a “day in the life” kind of story od NY kids. I think the more professional and experienced writers must have said well, there has to be some kind of arc or consequence, even if it shockingly happens to the most innocent person in the movie.
Stay away from heroin kids.
A few of the actor's in kids died!!
I think they have all done "One too many" drugs
Hmmmm...seems like a lot of kids left in a wasteland after appearing in this film. And listening to some inarticulate mushmouths try and fail to explain what the film was about suggests that maybe there was more to it than the film itself.
cometclear pedophilia and pedophiles.
i think you're kinda missing the point that they were trying to achieve with the film amigo.
KIDS
_IDS
AIDS
that lady in the third row on the left looks like an apple
Are Chloe and harmony on bad terms?
Maybe not bad terms but I def think she seems uncomfortable
She's a real start now and Harmony is really out there; not a great combination.
The director sounds like he needs to drink a lot of water. Cotton mouth director
He’s an ancient heroin addict.
Interviewers that spend all the time talking. Zzzzzzz.
Introduced the aids virus to the prison system to get rid of the severely tanned individuals and the unwanted sissy boys ,Frank Zappa
If you really like this movie you have something wrong with you.
A lot of people like this movie so maybe something wrong with you
@@Followthemoney100 A lot of demented people in the world . . .
They did two documentaries on it. What movie has two documentaries about it.
yeah talking about how interesting these kids were, and all of that, you were all yuppies who took advantage and thrown a lausy grant!$ at them, I lost all respect to both
Inarticulate. Uh uh eh well what happened was and and the characters where she knew that i knew... garbage.
How come Harmony is talking like a normal person?! Is he a fake ? Putting on an act, for the last, 2 decades.
He makes 💩 movies like Beach bum
boring movie if not for the extreme sex/drug stuff
why would anyone like this movie ?????
Spartacus because they admire pedophiles
I have mixed feelings about, I like the way it captures the atmosphere of a 90s summer in nyc, but yea it also makes me cringe and has some disgusting pedo undertones.
I don’t get it, why didn’t they invite Justin and Harold? That’s just rude 😢
Seriously?
Find God
That's a valid question well the thing is Justin was in a dark place and hanged himself in he's Las Vegas hotel the same time American psycho was out and Harold died from a heart due to OD from cocaine
