Trash

Wow. What a moving movie.

You have to feel for these guys. Growing up poor is never easy, but growing up poor and unsupervised and unloved (as Sonny was) is recipe for disaster.

I would say this is a definite "must see" but only if you are in the mood for some serious drama.

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.

I found this movie alarming it was emotional and raw and everyone can relate to some part of this movie all the acting was real the direction was very true and the way it was shot was very spiritual I believe strongly in the whole performance

and commend the creative one!!!

I saw TRASH at the Nashville Independent Film Festival and found it to be a solid notch stronger than any other competing feature at the event. Mark Annthony Galluzzo's extraordinary eye and terrific scene structure stretch the boundaries of low-budget filmmaking. Main character Anthony's harrowing conflict is reminiscent of Scorsese's Mean Streets set in the southern swamps. Jeremy Sisto's vivid performance as antihero Sonny, the tragically hardheaded rebel, set against Eric Michael Cole's meditatively trapped Anthony, makes for one outstanding scene after another. Trash is unpredictable and arresting. It's a triumph of independent filmmaking and i geniunely hope to see it get a theatrical release.

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.
