unless you want to be bore half to death . i have never be a fan of gus van sant and a part of what previous poster have describe a the new youth generation i be very disappointed and slightly angry at the stereotypical depiction of the character in the film especially a they be use to string along the film ridiculous storyline which be pretty much enforce to the viewing mass that skateboarder be social reject and should be blame for crime . a a skater myself i watch a lot of skate film and the filming during the skate scene and which be obviously a major part of the plot a the lead protagonist be a skateboarder and be awful and bourne identity esquire shaky camera technique be use with slow motion to give a horrible effect . this film be just full of ridiculous stereotype a show by the emo soundtrack which just add to the medium myth that all skateboarder be white rocker . simply just a really bad film .
