Trash

I saw the original Director's cut of this movie when it was named Nobody's Children. Last evening I had the chance to see the Ocala screening (it was filmed in Ocala, FL) and I was very amazed at the final product. Mark Anthony Galluza has outdone himself in his directorial debut. The storyline seemed to be very well told from each characters point of view. The main characters Sonny and Anthony were raised in a poverty stricken part of town with not much to offer for their future. Early on in the movie Anthony discovers he has a writing talent while Sonny turns to a life of destruction. The movie flowed very well with an excellent soundtrack to go with it. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone that has a chance to see it.

after reading the two previous reviews of trash, I feel almost afraid to say that I thought the film rocked, but it did, fear aside. Jeremy Sisto showed that he's got some decent acting chops, and to the person who thought Jaime Pressly should have either been a bitch, or showed some skin, all i have to say is ever hear of range? the stand-out though is the actor who played her younger brother bobby. Sure we pretty much know whats gonna happen, but the plays the thing. It isn't where you go but how ya get there. This film is better than most independent films, and it's shot well. I don't know if it's gotten a U.S. distributor yet, so check for it in local film fests, like where I screened it. solid.

Trash reminded me of how I felt when I first saw "Stand by Me". For a first movie by this young man I was very impressed. The music was excellent. The locations and shots were excellent as well. It really gave you the feeling of what it must be like being poor "white trash" and wanting more out of your life than what is staring you in the face day after day. It is a sad comment on our society that people have been killed by "kids with rifles bigger than they are." I feel this issue was addressed admirably and shows the after effects on the friends of the victim. I missed the name of the actor that played Garrett. He was cute and I would like to see more of him. It was a gripping plot and a well executed movie. My best wishes to Mark G. and his future movies.

I only bought the dvd of Trash because I have a thing for Jaime

Pressly. But this film turned out to be pretty damn good despite a

few dubious plot issues. The lead actors were very good and I

found myself getting caught up in the struggle of the two white

trash small town buddies. Their angst was right there without

hitting you over the head. In fact, the performances were all right on

even from the minor players. Thankfully, this film wasn't too

"Hollywood", but it seemed to veer into Movie of the Week territory a

few times. The visual treatment was very good and captured the

essence of the place and time.

This movie was a drama that told a true story of poor teenagers. I think it was wonderful and truthful. Everyone should see this movie to get to understand the life of the less fortunate. It contained my high school which was very exciting to watch. I loved the struggle of Anthony and how he decided not to choose to follow Sonny. I was a great movie and I would encourage everyone to see it.
