Trash Humpers (2009)

Well holy shit where do I begin talking about this fucked movie.  Harmony Korine directs this strange and bizarre movie.  It follows along this group of 4 elderly people. You only see 3 of them at a time cause one of them is operating the camera.  You delve into the insane world that these miscreants live in. They live on the outside of normal society.   They are socialapathic in the nature that they have no concern for any objects.  It paints a picture of insanity inside a closed off world where we all live.  Honestly there is truly no plot or reason for what goes on in the movie.  You witness a lot of destruction of objects living and non living.  It is not a gory movie any shape or form. I guess unless you consider a tv getting slammed onto a parking lot gory.  There is very little dialogue in the movie.  The idea of the movie is that what you are watching is supposed to be "found tapes".  The way the movie is put together is to resemble watching an old VHS tape.  You see the tracking pop up on the screen and the fuzz fade into a clear picture. (I'm so glad VHS is dead).  I will say Korine was good at making it feel like a worn old VHS that you found on the street or trash can.  I really don't see the art in the movie.  I think it gets praise because Korine was the director.  I bet if anyone else made this movie it would not have received the praise it has received.  It feels like a high school film project made by a 15 year old that borrowed their dad's VHS recorder.  Truly a strange movie that has it place in this world.

Honestly to me the movie was just plain stupid.  I lost interest in the movie about 20 minutes in and told myself that I will finish watching.  I really did want to just shut it off and send it back to Netflix.  I like to finish every movie I start watching no matter how bad the movie.  My first thoughts where "this feels like a Jackass skit".  Thinking about the Johnny Knoxville and Spike Jonze dressed up like old guys skits.  Seriously that was what this movie was to me.  One big stupid Jackass skit that I hated.  Plus I am not a fan of those old man Jackass skits.  It really is a movie that you will love or hate.  Some love Korine's art and some call him pretentious.  I don't care about that.  It is a movie you need to see and make your own judgement.  I hated this movie and really wish it could have been something a little different.  Plus if I hear the stupid obnoxious high pitch laugh from the character with the camera again I will punch someone in the face.
