"Constructing this film through random scenes, director
Harmony Korine abruptly jettisoned any sort of narrative
plot, so here we go: Solomon and Tummler are two bored
teenage boys who live in Xenia, Ohio. A few years ago, a
tornado swept through it, destroying more than half the town
and killing the same amount, including Solomon's father. The
film, from there, chronicles the anti-social adventures
these two boys have. These include sniffing glue, killing
cats, having sex, riding dirtbikes, listening to black
metal, and meeting a cavalcade of quirky, bizzare, and scary
people. These include a man who pimps his mentally ill wife
to our anti-heroes, three sisters who play with their cat
and practice becoming strippers, a gay black Jewish midget
and his boyfriend, a 12-year-old gay transvestite who is
also a cat killer, Solomon's mother, two foul-mouthed
six-year olds, and most importantly, a nymphlike
skateboarder who walks around town wearing pink rabbit
ears."

haha this film looks silly

Well, I think it's a great film. It's much better than it
sounds.

it is a very good movie - quite an experience just to watch
it. you can't go by that description and i don't think it's
even a fair synopsis. yeah, those things are in the film,
but the film transcends a bunch of scenes strewn together.

and i think it has a plot and the scenes are not random.

I like it when the kids mom puts on the tap shoes and tries
to tap dance. (after the kid lifts weights using the taped
up silverware)

i think the film definitely reflects a specific emotional
state. it's pretty grim.

i don't think his films deal with traditional plot,
though...if you mean a leads to b leads to c. the viewer is
responsible for making a lot of connections between people
and events in his films.
