A movie that is set to come out March 3 throughout Britain already has caused an uproar, with British Newspapers calling for its ban.  Film critics are left divided on how they take in this movie but as the film promises it will be the most controversial British film this year.  Kidulthood is a movie set among a group of Black and White teenagers in West London from Working to Middle class homes.  In contrast to the movie Thirteen the movie seems similar but to the fact that all the characters in Kidulthood are 15 yrs old.

Kidulthood claims to be the first feature film to accurately reflect what life is like for urban kids, it will include scenes of drug use, casual sex, and crime.  "The film opens with a middle-class schoolgirl being horrifically bullied in a classroom. When her preoccupied businessman father picks her up from school, he fails to spot the bruises. Ten minutes later, she has hanged herself. In another sequence two girls trade sexual favors with older men for pocket money to spend at Topshop. A young black boy cuts a man's throat to impress his drug-dealer uncle. Running parallel, however, are story- lines about coping with bad skin and how to choose your friends wisely."

This movie seems pretty extreme, it comparable movies like Thirteen and Kids.  Now Kids was very extreme, I remember when I first saw that movie, I was surprised by the character's ages and what they were doing, you had 8 yr old smoking, Chloe Sevigny with AIDS, Telly and Casper nailing all these young virgin girls.  When I was fifteen all can remember doing was watching reruns of Boy Meets World on The Disney Channel. If you see the trailer, 15 yr olds are coping with issues of drugs, crime, sex, oral sex, using cellphones, pregnancy and all this crap they probably shouldn't be starting until they are 16, I meant older, I mean way older.
