Introducing Harmony Korine
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmony_Korine
Harmony Korine (born January 4, 1973) is an American film director, producer, screenwriter, and author. He is best known for writing Kids, and for directing Gummo, Julien Donkey-Boy and Mister Lonely. His film Trash Humpers premiered at Toronto International Film Festival and won the main prize, the DOX Award, at CPH:DOX in November 2009.
Korine’s most recent feature film, Spring Breakers, starring Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson, and Rachel Korine, shot in Florida in early 2012, and received its world premiere at the 2012 Venice International Film Festival, going on to the Toronto International Film Festival.
Korine was born in Bolinas, California to Eve and Sol Korine and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. He is Jewish. Sol produced documentaries for PBS in the 1970s about an “array of colourful Southern characters” and taught Korine how to use a Bolex camera.
Korine wrote Kids, a film about 24 hours in the sex and drug filled lives of several Manhattan teenagers that has been touted as a realistic viewpoint of youth in New York City during the AIDS crisis. Kids garnered mixed reviews, but due to its NC-17 rating, few audiences actually saw the film upon its debut. However, it has since become a significant cult film.
Gummo premiered at the 24th Telluride Film Festival on August 29, 1997. During the screening, numerous people got up and left during the initial cat drowning sequence.
In 1998, Korine released The Diary of Anne Frank Pt II, a 40-minute three-screen collage featuring a boy burying his dog, kids in satanic dress vomiting on a Bible, and a man in black-face dancing and singing “My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean”.
In 2000 The Devil, The Sinner, and His Journey premiered, which featured Korine in blackface as O.J. Simpson and the actor Johnny Depp as Kato Kaelin.
He first met his wife Rachel, a 17-year-old from Nashville, around this time.
Mister Lonely is the story of “a young American man lost in Paris. He scratches out a living as a Michael Jackson look-alike, dancing in the streets, in public parks, at tourist spots and trade shows. Different from everyone else, he feels as if he’s floating between two worlds. During a show at a geriatric home Michael Jackson meets Marilyn Monroe. Haunted by her angelic beauty he follows her to a commune in the Highlands, joining her husband Charlie Chaplin and her daughter Shirley Temple. The commune is a place where everyone is famous and “no-one gets old”. Here, The Pope, The Queen of England, Madonna, James Dean and other impersonators build a stage in the hope that the world will visit and watch them perform. Everything is beautiful. Until the world shifts, and reality intrudes on their utopian dream.”
As of March 2012, Korine’s latest project, Spring Breakers was under production in Florida. Starring James Franco, Ashley Benson, Selena Gomez, and Vanessa Hudgens, the film is a comedy romance set to release in Spring 2013.
Korine originally intended to follow up Gummo with a short-lived project known as Fight Harm, filmed by illusionist David Blaine. It comprised footage of Korine engaging random people in actual street fights. In these he followed rules of always provoking the fight and continuing until threat of death. Korine, who often said he would die for the cinema, hoped to make a cross between a Buster Keaton vehicle and a snuff film, but after only six fights, he was hospitalized and forced to abandon the project.

i never met anyone from bolinas that wasnt an asshole.
drowning cats..how..cute?
Wow this is amazing. These are the kind of movies and shit young people get. This is fucking filth…..yet normal people that make normal movies, or sing normal songs they are the bad guys, cause they aren’t cool enough to do dumb shit.
told ya i was going to be doing more pop culture stuff..its an important tool of the elite..
Oh I know and at this point grown men adults are basically teenagers. This guy is grown and he acts like one. It’s amazing how the elite have degenerated society through the media. Take American Fashion for example. Our fashion is basically a sewer pit from hell. Only over here is it normal to dress like a hooker and get praised for it. It’s down right sickening. We’ve come a long long way from the good old 1950′s days when all of that was considered filth, and you were shunned for being trashy.
Times do change but today’s world is exactly what the protocols of Zion required to happen.
The protocols of Zion indeed. As they said in Nazi Germany “They have violated our art, our work, or entertainment, shoving pornography and homosexuality into it.” You know I find it hilarious that when Germany under Hitler pushed all those jew zionist bankers OUT, it totally recovered their economy, and they were the happiest country in the world. Crime was down, and unemployment was down. Yet in America they can’t seem to figure out the root of the problem. Look no further than the TV.
I don’t care if someone is gay. Totally your choice. The facts are a totally homesexual world with only one sex present cannot be sustained for the simple reason you need a male and a female intermixing their juices of life in some way, to keep the species growing. Science is trying to bypass this and play at being gods, but you still need an egg and a sperm. An isolated desert island with 10 lesbians or 10 gay men will eventually die off. Thats life. Males need females and vice versa to continue the species.
I agree, I don’t even care about gays, but it’s shoved down our throats, and yeah science wants to be god with this stuff. They’ve totally crossed the border with it.
