  "My father worked the late shift as a bathroom attendant. My father was mugged on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. For the rest of his days on earth, my father never celebrated this holiday."

  A message to those of you who cannot find anything to admire in Gummo, or who claim that it is trash without value: you may not be looking hard enough. One man's trash is another man's treasure.

  If you can get through the opening credits of Gummo, and don't already despise the film to bits by that point, then it is likely you're in for a treat; however, Gummo is like biting into a apple and finding a worm inside. It's an ugly, ugly, beautiful film.…

  "Life is beautiful. Really, it is. Full of beauty and illusions. Life is great. Without it, you'd be dead." - Solomon

  This is like what Tree of Life would be like if it listened to screamo and sniffed glue. I'm not kidding. I really don't know what to say about this film, other than the fact it contains some of the most powerful and vicious scenes that I've seen so far. Here are some examples:
  - The gratuitous portrayal of extreme cruelty against cats, both stray and domesticated.
  - A play-fight that is really quite violent between two brothers.
  - Two children verbally and physically abusing a boy dressed as a rabbit, while he plays dead.
  - The ruthless destruction…

  Don't let the criticisms of Gummo fool you. This film, along with Rob Zombie's Halloween films, are genuine representations of a society in the United States that is both shunned and unacknowledged. I've lived it, I can vouch for it, and I can prove it to you.

  Korine may have hyperbolized it a bit (with his artistic choices such as bacon on a wall and bunny ears), but the personality traits of the Appalachian area is painfully, hilariously accurate.

  It says something, that, when I first watched the film in my teen years, I didn't see anything about it that was unrealistic or sensationalized. It seemed normal to me, while films set in American suburbia felt like some kind of unrealized and unattainable fantasy.

  Gummo is about 100 times more bizarre than what you have just read and I apologize for this review.
