We were shown Kids in the 11th or 12th year with very little context or explanation of what was actually happening in the film and the whys and wherefores. Similarly, we also were shown Requiem for a Dream, not as an "artistic film that you need to wrestle with" but more an "if you think about drugs this will happen to you too"! I adore Aronofsky's films but I still can't watch it or hear Requiem's main theme without my stomach doing rolls. In that way it worked(?) but I still ended up a drug-chasing reprobate in my adult life, so did it really? I also remember a PSA-production-quality affair where a girl gets grounded when her parents find her cocaine stash.

It’s too bad there isn’t a film-length version of Dopesick so today’s high schoolers could get a movie to watch to scare them about the opioid crisis, just how addictive that poo poo is, and also give them a healthy skepticism of capitalism.

We had a master chief who got shot in the head by a Korean gentleman during the police action. Onstensibly it was an eat your vitamins and go to college talk. He got diverted into talking about the alien conspiracy. He said we need to believe. He knew people. He said there were underground UFO bases throughout Appalachia with little grey alien worker drones. If they ever decided to attack, we don't stand a chance. So go to college.

This was in a suburban school in Michigan and was meant to be a warning or something about having sex or doing drugs I guess? Another in the long line of middle class “Everybody panic this is what all kids are doing today!!!” movies.

I'm a little too old for that to have been a high school thing for me, but I remember when it came out me and my friends were all 20=something druggie stoner partier types and we rented it, made it about 20 minutes in and shut it off because it sucked.

not a movie but after the AP US test, our teacher had us do this assignment where kids chose a song and had to explain its political or social significance after playing the song. I think like five kids chose Fortunate Son, and we had to hear the song in full and the explanation, multiple times. CCR is cool but Christ I still never want to hear that song again. (I chose Rockin’ in the Free World)

redshirt posted:What was the significance of "Rockin' in the Free World"? Because I can’t resurrect my 2007 MacBook: quote:The lyrics criticize the George H. W. Bush administration, then in its first month, quoting Bush's famous "thousand points of light" remark from his 1989 inaugural address and his 1988 presidential campaign promise for America to become a "kinder, gentler nation". The song also refers to Ayatollah Khomeini's proclamation that the United States was the "Great Satan" and Jesse Jackson's 1988 campaign slogan, "Keep hope alive". I expanded upon that a bit, managed to get an A in a class where the teacher wasn’t too fond of me. I think only one person attempted the gauntlet known as We Didn’t Start The Fire, though to be fair this was on LI so it’s not like we didn’t know about that song already in excruciating depth.

Kids came out long after I graduated high school but I remember my sociology teacher senior year showing us a lot of movies and specials he had taped from TV because it was easier than teaching us sociology. Stuff like Geraldo Rivera interviewing Charles Manson. He showed us a TV movie from 1972 called the Glass House. Alan Alda is a mild mannered guy who ends up in prison for murder but it was self defense. Gritty rear end movie, there was a gnarly scene where a certain bad thing you always hear about happening in prison happens to a younger inmate. I learned later it’s adapted from a Truman Capote novel. Apparently Billy Dee Williams is also in it but I don’t remember his character. And it was filmed in a real rear end prison with real inmates as extras. I’ve been morbidly curious about rewatching it at some point but it freaked me out even at 17. Scenes I remember from Kids: A lengthy scene with a group of very young boys passing a joint and swearing a lot. I got the feeling these were not actors but real actual hosed up children being exploited for the film. One of the main characters wandering around the aftermath of the party drinking the dregs out of all the solo cups. Two guys talking about how the one likes to gently caress underage girls while the other one sucks fruit juice out of a tampon and says he prefers his girls to have “mad flavor”

I watched it when I was in high school but not in school, that's so bizarre to me. Personally I think everyone should have to watch But I'm a Cheerleader in high school. But with friends not at school that would be weird.

Kids was pretty much a perfect snapshot in time of early 90s skater kids. It mirrored our group so close that it really was a shock, minus the rape and AIDs. But I could absolutely see this happening with other kids all over the country because there are assholes everywhere.

I had seen it at a friend's house, and jokingly suggested it to a teacher for us to watch in class. I didn't think anything of it, until he brought it in. The last few months before I graduated were kinda awkward.
