It's clear what happened. Winter became an adult. His brother is his own newly arrived maturity desensitized to the world's harsh realities. In order to grow up he needed to get rid of Kyle. Kyle follows him around, tries to get him to eat childish chicken nuggets, tries to win him back. He's like the part of him that wants to be a kid again. He cuts his hair and becomes someone else. He's grown now. He wants to leave town. His frightened mother is the uncertainty in the back of his mind.
@checkunderyourbed Holy crap your right i saw the film and i did not get it really all the same i liked it but you have made it all make sence now with his mother and everthing but why did he just decide to change so quik an why did he hit kyle as far as i could tell he did nothing to him
@graysonisgod The change was fast like the way people remember their lives. One minute you're a ten yr old kid riding bikes with your pals and the next minute you're 13 and trying to go out on dates. Growing up is quick like that. It changes everything in a very short period of time.
@graysonisgod Remember Kyle represents Winter's boyhood. Kyle is more like a metaphor more so than his own individual character. Winter was beating him to get rid of him or in other words his own childhood. We all do this to ourselves as we get older. We rid ourselves of things we're embarrassed about from our childhood or ashamed of. We throw our toys away when we're teens for example. We destroy childhood selves in order to become someone new and older.
i loved it!!! great work! if you want to see it... BUY IT, it comes with the album "the suburbs" with two new songs, plus behind the scenes and an 80 page photo booklet with the lyrics of all the song from the album!! 15€ well spent :)
@shiahayward It's already out, there was a period where you could watch it for free... but that time is long gone now. You'll have to buy the special album of "The Suburbs" now
@blurtopia I think Winter was jealous of his friend (the narrator), because he was having to grow up while his friend was still living young and free. I think Winter was dealing with a lot of family shit, like his brother and the woman (presumably his mom?) becoming manipulated by the war. I don't think that Winters girlfriend and the narrater had anything going on, contrary to what the music video suggest. So basically, his surroundings and teenage angst caused him to do it, not the narrator.
@PoppiesOfBlood just type in "scenes from the suburbs" in the search bar. It should be the first thing that comes up. It's under music videos, and has a release date of august 3rd under it. If you can't find it from that. click on the deluxe album (the one with the red cover.) and it should be track 19.
This movie would have had such potential if they had gone into depth with the background more, but instead all we got was half on hour of white kids being idiots with unnecessarily ominous lighting.
i saw the this and wondered why the one kid beat the other kid up, so i found the whole thing and watched it. it was glorious, but i still have no idea why there was the random act of violence. so. many. questions.
Its subtly implied that winter and his gf break up and the main guy (kevin i think) makes a move on her and they date and then winter finds out and hes all like FUUUUUUUUUUU...
@epic8insanity its not online. its in film festivals now and they are going to release it with a special edition of the suburbs in august. im sure someone will put it online around then.
@josecarlosamador I'll give it a shot. It seems to be about a bunch of teens having a good time in the suburbs when the military takes control. It's not meant to be a true story or anything, but Win and Will Butler of the band draw a lot of inspiration from their childhood that was spent in the Woodlands, a suburb outside of Houston, TX, if I'm not mistaken. They're playing a concert there this tour and one of the songs from their EP is entitled "Woodlands National Anthem."
I saw Scenes From the Suburbs at a private screening at SXSW and was completely blown away, as always, by Spike Jonze's directing chops. The themes and concepts presented in The Suburbs were explored in the most satisfying and intriguing way I could have imagined. I doubt anyone will be disappointed when it finally gets released.
The film is not talking about suburbs in the way we are used to them, it is treating the suburbs as individual countries, in a state of war and attacking each other. Army is going through the suburbs, and the teen's lives are changing under those difficult circumstances. Read the review of the film by searching for "SXSW Scenes from the Suburbs review"
I wanna see it!!! When is it coming out? hahaha
