Abstract

Ever since the creation of the first motion picture, there have been numerous debates over the "effectiveness" of a vast multitude of movies. The term effectiveness is a very broad expression and can be used to cover a huge variety of areas. On a generic basis, did it make the viewer exert a certain emotion, laughter or tears; did it outrage the viewer; did it leave you thinking? Each of the above questions can be used to rank the effectiveness of any given movie. There are movies, however, that when viewed can evoke every possible emotion, outrage and teach you valuable lessons at the same time, and all around leave a lasting impression in the minds of those watching with both negative and positive connotations. In my generation, larry clark is a director that is renowned for creating such films. In his 1995 eye-opener, "kids", clark directs a movie that is the best example of this phenomenon I have seen. "kids" is a movie that has the capability of making you cry, laugh, become extremely angry, grow curious, etc. The fact that this movie was an effective one goes without question. It is a movie that after watching it for the first time is capable of lingering under your skin for a long time. The real question is what kind of effect does the movie actually have after it is viewed.
