It's so strange - life, not Gummo.

"I have trouble with the comments of users who find no emotional attachment to sad characters. Those who state that all the characters in this film wouldn't be missed if a tornado did wipe them out - isn't this the ultimate prejudice? Isn't it telling that these people have no sympathy for characters that are children who've been given no other options? Could it be that the pervasiveness of this attitude is exactly why there seems to be no cure for the plight of poverty? Could it possibly be that THIS is the point of this film? So few want to get inside the real problems ..."

💡 Did You Know?

Other cast members were recruited during the film's lengthy pre-production period. Harmony Korine often approached people on the street, in bowling alleys and in fast food restaurants, and asked them to play a part in his movie.
