Review of Lords of Dogtown (2005) by Ella R — 24 Jul 2008
Lords of Dogtown for me, was one of those movies that was just so real. It's one of those movies that you watch that just reminds you what reality is...not Hollywood. And it smacks you in the face with it, just incase you need to be awoken from the fake-reality (Hollywood) daze.
I found the characters in this to be just so great...all very well played. Very honest performances. Heaths character really is just a dickhead...but very funny and you dont like to admit it but you do like his character sometimes because of how funny he can be.
The story I find is so sad...and it didn't have the happiest ending. But it's real. All the things that happen, some of them are quite un predictable, just like real life. The little complications aren't filtered out. All the bummers of life are included in this movie which is what gives it that slightly depressing, but real feel to it. This actually makes (well me anyway) feel some mixed emotions when watching it. Sometimes you don't really know whether you should be laughing or crying.
I really loved this movie- it made me laugh AND cry =] hehe.
