Description
[Machine Translation] Beaten to death! Shoot to kill! Anger, the urge to destroy, the will to kill. It's not something you were born with. Penelope Spheeris, the director of "Rebel Punk Rock", has created a shocking and brutal film that breaks the ground of "Escape from Hell" and "Level Point" with a new coming-of-age story of despair! First time on disc in Japan! --A small town in the countryside. Two young men, about to graduate from high school, impulsively leave the town for Hollywood to escape from the boredom of working in a factory. There are no dreams or hopes for the future. As their hearts and friendships are gradually torn apart, they are driven to commit crimes and murder... Director Penelope Spheeris, who captured the ecology of American punk in "The Decline" ('80) and the fragile lives of marginalized orphans in "Punk Rock Against the Machine" ('84), depicts the bitter adolescence of unstable young people motivated by an article about an actual serial killer. The film was later adapted into the hit TV series "X-Files". The first screenplay by Glen Morgan and James Wong, who would later work on the hit TV series "The X-Files. Producer Sandy Howard, who also produced "The Monster" ('82) and "Angel" ('84), seems to have a very strong core in depicting the darkness of Los Angeles, including this film, but the director later laughed at his lack of progress. Compared to Jonathan Kaplan's "Level Point" ('78) and Terrence Malick's "Escape from Hell" ('73), this film was highly praised for its depiction of the anxiety of growing up and the psychology of a killer that everyone has, and for its straightforward depiction of despair without overtly seeking sympathy. The film stars Charlie Sheen, who would go on to star in such films as "The Execution Rider" ('86), "Platoon" ('86), and "Wall Street" ('87), and Maxwell Caulfield, who had been sidelined after his starring role in "Grease 2" ('82) flopped. The two stars' gripping performances and the documentary filmmaker's realistic portrayals and settings transcend the framework of fiction to reveal the true horror of the human condition. The story of an ordinary young man who, through a small chance, ends up on a path of destruction is very realistic, and many people overseas have said that this film is a much scarier cinematic experience than watching a horror film. In a recent interview, the director regretted the violence in this film, and even said that he wished he had never made this film. Martin Sheen, father of Charlie Sheen, who starred in "Escape from Hell," now considered one of the greatest films in American cinema history, walked out of a screening of this film. The Broken Generation" was, and still is, a real-life horror film. Music featured in the film includes CODE BLUE, THE CRAMPS, GREAT WHITE, and IGGY POP.
