Not even about the music
31 May 2019
This movie was about a small group of homeless kids in LA who called themselves punks and, sadly, are probably mostly dead now because of the lifestyle they close to live. That part at least adequately represents the title of the film. But as far as the music scene this film was supposedly based upon, it falls way short. At the beginning of the movie they barely touch on the subject of the actual music, the scene, what it was about, and what it was like growing up at that time.Then the director, obviously knowing nothing about the music herself, veered completely off course for the rest of the movie. The first two movies talked about the music and the scene for a good majority of the movie, but this one did not. I feel like the director half assed this movie just to get the trilogy done, when she very well could've explored beyond the one street corner in LA to get a feel for and adequately represent the punk music scene of the 90's, which was still alive and well at the time, and actually meant something to a lot of people. Maybe someday a bunch of punks will get together and make a movie about what it was really like...
