  • we need the full version of the kid saying those stuff

  • belly brought me here, what the hell is this movie about.

  • @3arhodes

    The hopeless existence of living in a poverty stricken town.

  • Gummo is my biography.

  • Gummo is the name of the "forgotten" Marx brother; thus these people. I always looked at the beginning (the rabbit kid), as a sort of symbol of being forgotten. How he is watching the cars, LIFE, go by as he is in a cage, right in their in their sight if they looked for him. He goes through almost every emotion in that cage; anger, sadness, disgust, loneliness, boredom, ect. He knows life is moving on without him and he's stuck, with no escape. Very well-done movie.

  • these people were mostly real...they just plucked people off the street of this shitty little town in Teenessee and made them actors lol. Afterwards they should have fed them all cyanide and put em' out of their misery

  • This movie is not in any way, beautiful, artistic or ingenious anyone who thinks a film that involves cruelsadistic animal abuse and death is "beautiful" needs their head examined. I draw the line at any film that has as much animal death as this, animal death for me is too much because I've been raised in a decent and sane place were nobody hurts animals for fun and if they do they're hated for it believe me. I like a cult film as much as the next person but this is just plain SICK.

  • @MsPurpleglitter

    Boo hoo, go watch a disney film because depictions of reality are obviously too much for you to deal with emotionally, and theres no way someone whos been raised in a decent and sane way like you have could ever see any kind of art, beauty or ingenuity in things that arent traditionally beautiful.

  • @Thehatedtruth first off, it's a called an opinion babe everyone has one. Second I read Marquis De Sade bit of a stretch from Disney, and third don't talk to me about how shit and harsh reality is BECAUSE I KNOW. I lived in Chatham which is basically a ghetto, prostitutes, drug addicts, women who been abused,people get stabbed around the corner, people who go dogging, you name it I've met it, had tea with it, and hung out with it, you can't imagine the things i've seen and the people i've met.

  • @MsPurpleglitter

    Hahaa 120 days in sodom is childs play. And if you lived in the ghetto of chatham (Lol you should try moving up north, the eldington torture kids were in my school) Then maybe you shouldnt post comments about how you have been raised in decent and sane place and how we should all have our heads examined for thinking this film has some worth.

  • @Thehatedtruth i did think chatham was the worst place coz there was a paedophile ring and two women tried to steal a child guess you've opened my eyes in a way. I was raised in a decent and sane place for the most part of my life, but I left home when i was younger to live in a one bedroom flat in Chatham. If you think this film has beauty, then fair enough each to their own if it weren't for the animal cruelty, i'd prob love this film i like the weird and abnormal. But i'm an animal lover.

  • Also in reference to 120 days of Sodom, the book is worse than the film. A woman has a mouse sewn in her vagina and it eats it's way out, people are skinned, forced to eat their own shit, pregnant women have rocks crushed on their stomachs, they're raped, mutilated, and sodomized all for fun, anyone else would think that was fkn insane.

  • I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm not saying I'm right. It's all about our views Gummo is nothing compared to what I've see. I've met a girl who is sexually attracted to her father who abused her at the age of 8, a woman who's ex poured a kettle over her vagina, and when I was 3 years old I met a drug dealer with three fingers cut off IDC about that, what I cannot stand however is people who are cruel to animals yes this is a film and it's not real but I knew ppl who killed and hurt animals

  • Little hen goes cluck cluck

  • Gummo reminds me of my childhood friends and a lot of the things I saw as a kid. Kids which is directed by the same guy reminds me of middle school through high school.

  • It's the greatist home movie, cult classic, out of the box freak show ever. Equaled only, (but not quite), by Crispin Glovers movie "What Is It"! Far exceeding David Lynch's Eraserhead, and far superior to the Easter Bunny sh-t Hollywood cranks out on a daily basis.

  • "She used to throw darts".

  • I live in a rl gummo place. Pulaski Virginia

  • This is the best movie I have ever seen in my whole life. I don't understand the concept, I don't think anyone does. But it's amazing.

  • Comment removed

  • Although staged, this film comes across as a documentary to me. I lived not far from Zenia in Indiana for 27 years because I accepted a high paying position with a a "fortune 250" corporation. MOST people in this area are very deficient in any understanding of the world or truth. It is TRULY scary! For a person of intelligence, it is like dealing with animals - monkeys in a zoo. Rational thinking is removed in these people. Taught regimentation from birth, they have no free thought.

  • I really wanna watch it, it seems REALLY interesting. but I dont get what its about, from watching a few clips here and there :/

  • I received a response to my 'so called' comment, which I never remember sending! I love :"Gummo", I think it's a fantastic film. Matter of fact, I fine it so fantastic I tell everyone they must see it!! Sorry, don't know what you're talking about!! Even so, I'm thrilled to receive anything from/connected to;"Gummo". I love all of Harmony Korines's films, and am happy to get any sort of connection w/ it. Even tho it's absurd and so wrong.

  • imise en image de tres interessant.. j'adore

  • This movie is delightfully disturbing. tThose who don't like it don't understand it. Sorry folks, this is true life.

    Yes, this is a town in Ohio and Ohio is in America and it does exist. Like it or not. Korine is a true artist.

  • @dianechess I got that it was showing nihilism forming as a result of basically having a shitty life, but without a narrative of any kind I lost interest, although I get the lack of narrative was kinda the point.

  • ...that was disturbing

  • i just finished watching it, I can't tell you now what I feel I need to go to bed and think about what I just saw, then I may come back to you and give you my opinion.

  • Having lived in Xenia, OH even during the 2000 tornado, I can say we don't have ANY 6 lane highways like in the opening. Hell, we don't even have any pedestrian bridges over US 35, US 68 or US 42; There's no point with the little pedestrian traffic we have.

    We do have rednecks though...not going to lie about that.

  • So...who sings the rooster song?

  • It's a piece of art. This is actually reality for alot of people. People who don't like it should keep in mind, while watching it, that this film depicts what life is actually like for alot of less fortunate people.To enjoy this film doen't make anyone disturbed. It simply shows us a less flattering side of life and we can all learn from watching it and perhaps realising how lucky we actually are.

  • Poor Cats and those girls I want there hair color D: I loved it my dad thinks its the movie from hell im like HOW also abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz now i know my abcs next time wont you sing with me x3

  • pretentious bullshit, spose the middle-classes will think its trendy!!!

  • SUFFOKATE FTW

  • Harmony Korine is a bohemian retard.

  • @jolIypiratedonuts Lol, what’s with all the hate towards Korine, dude. Don’t like his films? Don’t watch them. Simple as that. I enjoyed Kids, Gummo, Julien Donkeyboy, and Mister Lonely. Granted, Korine’s films are exceptionally bizarre and surreal, but they’re an acquired taste. At least he’s not pretentious about his films though. He openly stated once that Gummo was essentially a freakshow of misfits from Ohio, but it’s still an oddly compelling film. Also, long live bohemianism! :P

  • @PIFMan092 I don't 'get' Gummo. It just doesn't make any sense.

  • @jolIypiratedonuts That's the point - there is no point! This might sound snobby, but directors like Korine aren't tied down by the restrictions of modern mainstream cinema, and as a result, are free to experiment as they please, hence the reason why most of their films don't have a linear (in other words very clear and apparent) plot. People appreciate these films for their general weirdness, and that's why they've accumulated a large fanbase. It's called Surrealist and Underground Filmmaking.

  • i'm really sorry to say it, but this movie show me all the dark sides of usa... all the cripy things that you can see just at the white places of america... i live in arealy good countrey, and this movie is amazing, all the shick things in one movie... 5 stars

  • watch?v=u85m1b3987g

    †XeÑia, Θhio†

  • i dont understand what i just found here

  • great movie!i luv it

  • Gummo is a brilliant work of art. To the average movie watcher its a low quality dumb retarded movie..etc etc. but with Gummo Harmony surpassed Larry Clark as a director. Harmony takes trailer trash and manages to still portray a film with such sophistication. Brilliant director.....

  • i will never be the same again having watched this film

  • I like this movie and the music made it even better.

  • THE BEGINNING WAS IN A SUFFOKATE SONG?

  • boop

  • whats this cockadoodledoo song called?

  • @k1ssmyc0w

    My little rooster by Almeda Riddle

  • this movie is like a train wreck, you just cant look away until its over.

  • Fuck Ohio

  • REMEMBER TO SLAUGHTERR YOUR ENEMIESSS

    SLAUGHTERR YOUR ENEMIESSS

    SLAUGHTERR YOUR ENEMIESSS

    SLAUGHTERR YOUR ENEMIESSS

  • harmony should do a movie about Ogden, Utah.. lived there for a year, 1 miserable year but wow does it have some interesting characters there, scary yet cant look away imagery and people.. just like this film

  • @firefwi That place is a redneck ghetto, I live on the other side of SLC, but still, it is a crazy ass place to be. nothing but meth heads, dealers and just strait up crazy people.

  • @Counted01 exactly lol and many many people with deformities.. I've never seen anything like it, I watched this womans children, she had like 8, and 6 of the 8 were physically deformed... maybe it was drugs the mother was on? something in the water there.. who knows, that place is scary and unforgettable

  • That is one fucking annoying song

  • FUCK GUMMO! KIDS WAS THE SHIT! AND IT STILL IS!

  • @pinoypride321 lol money from both films going to the same group of people

  • lo bizarro de la vida comprimido en una peli

  • this is one of my top favorites, a rare gem

  • harmony is a true artist. i love his films

  • @jwhittle91 Your kidding right?.

  • @jonquil4000 maybe this isn't your thing. there are plenty of michael bay films for you to watch. he spoon feeds his audience everything.

  • the song is hilarious! what's it called i wanna download it :')

  • @Rhiaaa97 My little Rooster

  • why do people get so oversensitive about where a film is based or filmed? It's not like the assumption is that everyone in middle america is like this. jesus. I don't get all up in arms because romper stomper was about neo-nazis and happened to be filmed where i call home.

  • i fucking hate how i can't buy this on dvd or watch it anywhere in full without it looking shit. IT'S NOT FAIR, ALL I WANT IN LIFE IS TO WATCH GUMMO.

  • @oscillatewildly9

    moviestop it

  • SPEAK UP YOU FUCK!

  • Awww wheres the "Pussy" part? Lmao some of you might now get it

  • "youtube has a pussy, its called anybody who disliked this video or comment" cock a doodle doooooooooo!! best movie IMO

  • THE PEOPLE ARE STILL LIVING THE SAME WAY EVEN B-4 THE TORNADO..LOOKS LIKE THE IN BREAD VERSION OF A 3RD WORLD COUNTRY

  • A rooster goes cock a doodle doo doodle doo doodle doo....

  • Harmony Korrine doesn't know shit. Using Tenessee for Ohio is like trying pass off Flagstaff for San Fransisco. People don't even have a Southern/Appalachian accent there. If he wanted to focus on the true "dark, gritty side of Middle American Life" he should have done more along the lines of a modern day version of Babbitt. There are thousands of interesting (and factual) points you could address about American life using a place like Xenia as your setting but Korine didn't get to a single one.

  • continued: He instead opted to make a shocker flick and really must have just opened a map and picked a location for his setting at random. It's fine to make a disturbing/shocker movie every now and then, but if there is no reason to pick the location you did, then simply don't do it, especially if you are going to not even film there.

    I'm not from Xenia (from Columbus) and I have no particular love for Ohio but I'm really sick of these inaccurate portrayals of life not on the two coasts.

  • if you really dont care about this movie you shouldnt be reading this- gummo is not a movie you can be talked into liking. you need a little bit of patience and a very open mind for this movie, neither of which seem too common.

  • This is genius. You either get it or you dont.

  • @rcolosi Or you get it and wish you didn't.

  • I know many people absolutely hate this movie but it has always been one of my favorites. I lost out on a date with a girl because I admitted that I enjoyed this movie and watched it many times. The girl watched it and then was disturbed and asked what kind of person I was. Yet, I love how this movie evokes a strong reaction in people... I really enjoyed this movie.

  • @Oddityworld same story, different time and place. My ex was shocked when I admitted I loved this movie.

  • @Oddityworld some people just see it as disgusting for the sake of it.. i thought it was the 1st time i saw it and i hated it.. 2nd time i understood the point to all the awful things and it then became sad

  • @Oddityworld

    me too ..ive told people this movie is my favourite, and they've told me i have some serious mental issues, one even almost signed me up for a therapist.

    ha.

    hahah.

  • @Oddityworld its fucking brilliant =) Works both ways tho, i met blokes that thought i was twisted when i proclaimed it was on my top ten favs.. besides, people who needs to play 'name your top ten' on a date, are losers. ;) - im sure you didn't miss out on that chick anyway.

  • @LadyAzmodan I know right

  • @Oddityworld ;)

  • @Oddityworld i dont know why but ive always thought ive had a past life and this movie seems to reminds me of a past life that i may or may not have had...

  • @Oddityworld Hey, think what she would have thought had it been Pink Flamingos instead.

  • @Oddityworld sucks for you brah i totally got some because my girl is into movies like this hahaha

  • @blingblinge You should either marry her or dump her right away I can't decide which.

  • @Oddityworld Absolutely...totally understand the girl thing I got a girl who barely speaks to me cuz I brought this film to a BBq and shocked the party to a stand still. GREAT FILM!

  • @liveecarbme A few girls at my old work loved this movie and actually told me about it, and they were surprising normal.

  • This movie was so fucking disturbing! I will never watch this worthless, creepy ass piece of shit again.

  • somebody should make a remix of the song in this clip......cock a doodle friggin doooooooo

  • I enjoyed this movie, I don't know why

  • @whaffleephantz

    Maybe that's because the film takes place in Xenia, Ohio?

  • its lke the dark version of juno

  • this is so much like my town(xenia ohio), it makes me sad to realize it really is like this!!

  • @whaffleephantz fail. the movie was fillmed in TN but they used xenia because of the tornado. i just got back from xenia 2 days ago and its nothing like this. FAIL

  • @poopinaskunk You expected Xenia to be a tornado torn waste land of depraved rednecks after 13 years?

    I guess you were relying on the little known fact that things never, ever change. Not after they've been the subject of a movie.

  • @undeckkid are you fuckin dumb?? im tellin the way the town is portryed is most deff not how xenia is. you dumb fuck

  • @poopinaskunk of course it's not, did you think this was a documentary? That's like saying you're really disappointed because you went to New York after seeing Cloverfield and it's nothing like the movie.

  • umm know i knew it wasent a documentary. why the fuck are you even commenting back?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?

  • @poopinaskunk  because i like making fun of people that are obviously retarded. You're like the internet equivalent to Goober. Talking to you is like being in the movie.

  • @undeckkid dude go fuck your self. your dumber than a bucket of shit

  • @poopinaskunk Oh, you've cut me deep. I should have known from your name that you were a master of the wicked word. A lass, i have been bested by someone that spells "wasn't" as "wasent".

    How will i ever recover from a vicious remark like "your dumber then a bucket of shit"?! I concede! Hurt me no more, you marvelous fag.

  • I hate this movie, because anytime anyone says something reasonably negative about it, someone always says "YOU GUYS ARE IDIOTS. THIS MOVIE IS DEEP."

    When it's fucking not! It's supposed to be like a "scrapbook". There is no cohesive message or plot, that's the message!

  • anybody can make subtitle? im italian and i don't understand all..

  • moving...and awesome

  • Poetry in motion.

  • This Movie really has got into my head, I can't shake thinking about sections now and again. and Of course I just love the Rooster song,

  • @rootsxrocks the filth perversion and degradation in this movie is what the Jews want for the entire white race to become and engage in. Read the lyrics to Jew Leonard Cohen's song "The Future" to find out more.

  • @JenkemWOGbeforeUrun You are the most egotistical jerk I've ever seen. You must be either a young Neo-Nazi or a stubborn old man who thinks their way is the only way, and everyone else is a lesser being. You merely throw in the rest of your race in so you won't feel like a complete creep, when that's all you really are. Call me Jewish if you wish, but I am a Christian white. Deal with it. I suppose you call yourself Christian as well.

  • @harrynginny4eva so did the Pilgrims that settled and (shared) the land with the Natives

  • @Lionel4482 I am obviously not them.

  • @stellacolv sorry. Posted on wrong account.

  • Lol, I lived in Xenia, and this film is a good interpretation of it, unfortunately.

  • o.0

  • the song is awesome but horrible D:

  • god damn red necks

  • watching it sober is one thing but when your high this movie is amazing

  • american alienation...?

  • @DontFuckWitDreDay well if you watch the movie you'd understand hahaaha

  • Why do you say that?

  • Comment removed

  • Every generation conjures up its own envelope-pushing film-maker

    -Godard, Herzog, Fellini, Jarman, or Cassavetes- whose very restless originality manages to both infuriate and intoxicate those willing to sit through their films.

    The same might be said about Harmony Korine.

  • The town was hit by a tornado, thats why all the people are poor whitetrash.

    This movie rocks.

    It has kids in bunny ears, midgets,cat killers, albinos,fags,retards etc, you can't find a crazier collection of actors and people in one movie.

  • why is it called Gummo?

  • @SomRandomLoiterer189 It was named afetr a little know Marx brother.

  • GUMMO!

  • rednecks are interesting

  • i love this movie, so out there, so fucken good..... know no bounds......

  • just because you don't understand a certain type of art doesn't give you the right to put it down. harmony korine's movies are meant to disturb yet intoxicate you, and make you think deep within yourself. i can explain my own interpretation on this movie for hours, but you don't seem to have the mental capacity for this type of thing.

  • @newbornpony so true

  • @newbornpony i dont give a fuck about harmony korine. go tell someone that actually gives a shit.

  • @poopinaskunk

    I didn't know white trash hillbillies knew how to use a computer, let alone the internet.

  • @newbornpony How in the hell are you suppose to understand this shit?.

  • @jonquil4000 don't worry, the is nothing to understand, this movie just fucking sucks. backward ass retards is this movies main theme.

  • @newbornpony What exactly is you interpretation of the movie haha. I can't think of one no matter how I try (although I think the scene where Solomon is taking a bath is supposed to be a metaphor for how hard it is to be good in a town full of shitty people, like how hard it is to get clean when you're bathing in filth). I love it though.

  • @newbornpony I don't think I've ever read a more pretentious comment on Youtube.

  • what makes this a great movie is the fact that it's absolutely fucking FEARLESS.

  • What The Fuck!

  • hehehahaha, this was simones movie choice WTF.

  • simon should have picked a better moive

  • definetly lol whose even heard of this...

  • this is film is fucking awesome, why don't you try actually watching it before you make comments like that you worthless piece of shit

  • oh my god what the hell is yr problem, that was so uncalled for i ws jst saying its an heard of film, and if people like u r watching this film i dont think i really want to, i was gonna watch it anyways, why d'you think i looked it up...

  • This is the best movie The End!

  • WORST MOVIE EVER MADE....EVER

  • Not sure why so many people found this movie to be disturbing. My buddy and I laughed and high-fived each other throughout.

  • @yankeesfan63000 You're one sick cunt mate, enjoy your therapy sessions for the next 10 years.

  • cock-a-DOODLE-doo doodle doo, doodle doooooooooooo

    awesome. i love that song (for some odd reason...)

  • I love this god damn movie

  • Hardcore film

  • One of the best avant garde films ever made.

  • y is it called gummo

  • Why ISN'T it called Gummo?

  • what does gummo mean then?

  • Country Hick.

  • Its named after Gummo Marx, the only Marx brother who was never in any of the movies.

  • Gummo is the 5th Marx brother.

  • Haha I

    Love this movie so gross

  • whats the name of the song thats playing when Tummler and Soloman are breaking into the Queer Catkiller's house?? i cant figure it out when i look through the soundtrack.
