SLC Punk is a great film showing the angst ridden subculture of 1980s and the inability of rejecting responsibility. The film also doubles as a well-made argument of the ineffectiveness of anarchy in society (the pure chaos kind poser punks adhere too).Matthew Lillard stars in this tale of a '80s punk (blue hair and all) and his voluntary rejection of modern society. He is on top of his game with a Chuck Palahniuk like inner monologue as well as an energy for his fictional cause. Its movies like these that allow actors to shine, even those who are seen as the comic relief (a typecast Lillard may never let go).
I recommend this to anyone who likes to turn up the Sex Pistols to deafening volumes and hang out with friends. A great eye opener for incoming high school and/or college students who have yet to find their maturity (a proverbial boot in the ass, if you will).
Most memorable scene: Matthew Lillard's oral report on "The Fight."
