滑板公园的电影剧情
Ken Park focuses on several teenagers and their tormented home lives. Shawn seems to be the most conventional. Tate is brimming with psychotic rage; Claude is habitually harassed by his brutish father and coddled, rather uncomfortably, by his enormously pregnant mother. Peaches looks after her devoutly religious father, but yearns for freedom. They're all rather tight, or so they claim. But they spend precious little time together and none of them seems to know much about one another's family lives. This bizarre dichotomy underscores their alienation # the result of suburban ennui, a teenager's inherent sense of melodrama, and the disturbing nature of their home environments.
影片通过对加州四个滑板少年——三个男孩一个女孩——以及他们的家庭进行的曝光，向我们展示了一个混合了暴力、色情、仇恨与爱的混乱交织的世界。
导演拉里·克拉克以表现青少年放纵糜烂生活的摄影作品成名。1992年，克拉克在纽约的华盛顿广场公园拍摄关于滑板一族的照片时结识了一名少年霍默尼·考利，他们成为了忘年交，并由考利为他的电影处女作《半熟少年》编写了台词。
1995年《半熟少年》成为当年圣丹斯和戛纳上的一个亮点。影片跟随一群少年踩着滑板，乘着地铁穿过曼哈顿，在这一天一夜中他们做爱，畅饮，嗑药，聊天，狂欢。编导以平静的不动声色的态度审视着他们的生活，如同一部纪录片。对于有些人来说，这部电影便成了一次地狱之旅，其中最基本的道德准则也荡然无存。
克拉克完全忠实于青少年亚文化，以近乎粗鄙的真实性赋予了影片鲜活的力量。他随后依旧表现瘾君子生活的《天堂的另一天》虽有大明星加盟，却反响平平。于是他再度回归所钟爱的青少年题材，推出根据1993年的一桩中学生杀人事件改编的《恶霸》。
精彩对白：
Claude's father: You can pick your friends but you can't pick your family.
Claude: Sometimes.
Peaches: Do you remember your dreams?
Tate: I killed my grandfather, because he is a cheater who likes to tell war stories, and I killed my grandmother because she's a passive, agressive bitch who doesn't respect my privacy.
Tate: No, I'm not hungry. I'm working, and when you come here without knocking, it means that you're acting like a fucking bitch
