"In a lot of ways, Red State delivers on a promise I made with my first film, Clerks; a film I made more than 20 years ago." -- Kevin Smith, Edmonton Q&A


You might wonder what Kevin Smith's ferocious new horror film Red State could possibly share with Clerks, the breakout slacker indie that landed him on the ground floor of Hollywood back in the early 90s. According to the director, the films are like spiritual partners: They may not look or sound anything alike, but they ignited the same can-do indie attitude and passion that got him into filmmaking in the first place - a passion that Smith admits has been sorely lacking for the latter part of his career as a filmmaker. And while his legion of Edmonton-Oilers-hockey-jersey-wearing fans would doubtlessly argue different, from where I sit, Smith's output has indeed been a mixed bag of rehash and cop outs (get it?).

And then, he wheeled out Red State with a big grin on his face and gave a warning to the sold out crowd in his "favourite town," Edmonton Alberta: "For any cats out there who may not know, or have come expecting a comedy or something you should know that this is something different. It's something I'm proud of. I think you're gonna have fun - it's an entertaining movie with some interactive moments as you'll see - but if you came here expecting Jay and Silent Bob or some shit, know that this ain't it."

That Red State is a departure from the usual Kevin Smith fare might just be the understatement of the year. The film was easily one of the most visceral, pulse-pounding theatrical experiences of this year. It's also oddly nihilistic for a guy who wears such a big heart on his sleeve.





Red State paints a shockingly dark portrait of an America on the brink of social and cultural apocalypse, where right-wing religion turns to terrorism before our eyes and the government are really no better. Teenagers may still be the same horny ne'er-do-wells they always were, but in Red State, they find that the cosmic search for "pussy" doesn't end like it would in, say, a Kevin Smith movie.

The film is not only thematically radical, it is a formal anomaly for Smith who usually shoots static scenes with heavy dialog. It is alive with energy and momentum. It is cinema verite to the max, managing to be gritty and hyper-real without the distraction of horrible "shaky-camera" work. Smith credits a lot of this to his longtime friend and sometimes DP, David Klein, who he told "to take the gloves off."

Of course Smith couldn't have achieved any of this realism without one of the best ensemble casts I've seen in a while. From the three teenage boys, to the cult worshipers to the government agents who engage them all in an epic heavy-fire standoff in the film's finale, everyone brings their A-game. Academy award winner Mellisa Leo, veteran actor Michael Parks and, of course the legendary John Goodman steal the show. But there are also standout and fearless performances by Kyle Gallner (Red, Jennifer's Body) and Kerry Bishé (who I recently saw in Ed Burns' Nice Guy Johnny).

In the Q&A after the show, Smith said he designed the film to be like a magic trick. A slight of hand, where you looked for the clues but the outcome would always surprise you. To that end the story is always changing into something different as it moves along. Teen horror turns to cult thriller turns to an all out war film where no one is safe. The only problem with his approach is that, as the film switches gears it sometimes loses track of some characters we've invested in. A minor quibble considering everything going on in the film.

While I watched the film I wondered if, with Red State, Smith wanted to remind the world that he's a filmmaker and artist first and a personality second. Then during the Q&A, I realized that the 41-year-old director made Red State to prove that to himself, which is probably why it's such a singular and provocative work of art that defies expectations.

I really loved the fact that Smith invited the bitches from Westboro Baptist Church to a pre-screening here in Kansas City, and the movie prompted them to walk out after they realized that it would NOT be the headline grabbing attention-fest that they had hoped for.
Too bad, Jesus-hussies.

I'm just hoping the typical god awful dialogue Smith uses is... minimal. I can get on board for the story if he can stop TRYING to be witty, and TRYING to be funny. I know it's political, and I can appreciate the view point, even IF it differs from mine (Dont know if it does, or not, haven't seen it yet), just don't force it down my throat and I'll be happy.

Jeremy Hanke (11 years ago) Reply

Wow. That makes me very happy. As a filmmaker who was inspired to get started due to seeing Kevin Smith live, his most recent slew of bitching, moaning, and awful movies had led me to completely wash my hands of him as a filmmaker. It's awesome to see him going back to the roots of Indie filmmaking. Can't wait to get a chance to see the film!

Yeah, this is so true to real life. Just think of all the people that get kidnapped and executed by christian cults every year. Maybe I should make a movie about people I hate and create a story about them kidnapping people and killing them and then I can have all the people on message boards agreeing about how much of a threat they are. Westboro baptist people are crazy, but they are not killing teenagers. Not sure how we go from westboro baptist demonstrator to all christians are xenophobic hate mongers. But I guess if all of your info comes from MSNBC one might think that way. How many atheist charity groups are there with people sacrificing there enntire lives living in places like Haiti while helping the poor? Oh that's right, I forgot it only the hate filled christians that do things like that. For every bad thing you can point out about Christians, it is out wieghed by 10 good things that are never mentioned.

A view of this trailer convinces me that Kevin Smith believes that religious white people constitute a grave threat to the United States.

Myself, I live in an America in which two friends of mine made a wrong turn--a REALLY wrong turn--and got pulled over on the outskirts of East St. Louis by the police, who told them that a couple of white boys would never manage to drive out of that city alive.

I live in an America in which a friend working on her PhD in Chicago has, since the start of this summer, has been caught up in two black-on-white race riots, neither of which were covered by that city’s anti-white media.

I live in an America in which a black-on-white carjacking-turned-rape/torture/homicide took place just a couple of miles from where I write this--those of you with strong stomachs can Google “Knoxville Horror” to find out what really happened, since that atrocity, so depraved it makes “Last House on the Left” look like a re-run of “Happy Days,” was also hushed up by the anti-white media.

Why did Kevin Smith direct this movie? Is he as ignorant of contemporary America as he is of the principles of good nutrition? Or is he simply trying to make a fast buck off the anti-white meme?

Right wingers always cry like a bunch of pansies the second they're called out for the nutjobs they obviously are. I have a suggestion: Instead of trying to make Kevin Smith responsible for your fragile hurt girlish feelings and crying loud enough to break glass, how about you just not watch it? Go watch Fox News if you want some good fictional right wing entertainment.

Kudzu_Bob (11 years ago) Reply

>how about you just not watch it?<

It doesn't work that way, and you know it.

Sweets are bad for me, so I don&rsquo;t eat them.

If Kevin Smith smokes a blunt first thing in the morning and then deals with his munchies by polishing off a dozen Krispy Kreme glazed doughnuts for breakfast, that's fine by me, so long as I don't have to pay for his diabetes pills or sit next to his sweaty carcass on a plane.

As for myself, since sweets are bad for me, I just don&rsquo;t eat them. Problem solved.

But when Kevin Smith or any other rich Hollywood figure makes an anti-white movie, the whole point of what they&rsquo;ve done is to hurt me and people who look like me.

By definition, anti-white propaganda is either designed to make white people question their own right to exist, or to make non-whites hate white people, or both.

In this age of &ldquo;Polar-bear hunting&rdquo; flash mobs that bash in the skulls of white people like South Carolina teenager Carter Strange, it is the height of dishonesty to say, &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t go see their movies if you don&rsquo;t like what they&rsquo;re doing.&rdquo;

Smith (a Catholic) is smarter than to just make religion evil. It's not religion it's, the people. Also, there are no real heroes here. John Goodman is the closest, but the government he works for is portrayed as pretty inhumane. So, not as one dimensional as some of you may think.

Hey Kudzu_bob,

I took your advice and Googled "Knoxville Horror" and this is what I found:

Police Chief Sterling Owen IV said that there is no indication the crimes were racially motivated and that the murders and assault "appears to have been a random violent act.

oh, and:

"There is absolutely no proof of a hate crime," said John Gill, special counsel to Knox County District Atty. Randy Nichols. "We know from our investigation that the people charged in this case were friends with white people, socialized with white people, dated white people. So not only is there no evidence of any racial animus, there's evidence to the contrary."

So what was your point exactly?

Kudzu_Bob (11 years ago) Reply

You left out this part:

&ldquo;According to the testimony of the Knox County Acting Medical Examiner Dr. Darinka Mileusnic-Polchan at the subsequent trial of Eric Boyd, Newsom was repeatedly sodomized with an object and then blindfolded, gagged, arms and feet bound and his head covered. Barefoot, he was either led or dragged outside the house to a set of nearby railroad tracks. He was shot in the back of the head, the neck, and the back, and his body then set on fire.

&ldquo;Channon's death came only after hours of sexual torture, medical examiner Mileusnic-Polchan testified. Channon suffered horrific injuries to her vagina, anus and mouth. She was not only raped but savaged with &lsquo;an object,&rsquo; possibly a broken chair leg, the doctor testified. She was beaten in the head. Some type of chemical was poured down her throat, and her body, including her bleeding and battered genital area, likely scrubbed with the same solution - all while Channon was alive, the forensic expert said. She was then &lsquo;hog-tied,&rsquo; with curtains and strips of bedding, her face covered tightly with a small trash bag and her body stashed inside five large trash bags before being placed inside a large trash can and covered with sheets. Channon died slowly, suffocating, the medical examiner said.&rdquo;

But still, I see your point. Would a police chief ever lie to keep the lid on such an explosive racial situation? Shit, no.

Move along, folks! Nothing to see here!

Hey uncleB! Glad to hear from one of my favorite right wing whiners! Glad to hear a new mini diatribe about how much it sucks to be you because liberals made you a homosexual. Long time no see, my friend.

But kudzu bob takes the prize for whining when he writes this:

"But when Kevin Smith or any other rich Hollywood figure makes an anti-white movie, the whole point of what they&rsquo;ve done is to hurt me and people who look like me."

Bob, quoting you hurts you. Kevin Smith did nothing to hurt you, unless he also stole your favorite dolly. Then Bob writes:

"By definition, anti-white propaganda is either designed to make white people question their own right to exist, or to make non-whites hate white people, or both."

Wow, you questioned your right to exist after watching a movie? No wonder you right wingers' pointy heads explode whenever confronted with any idea that doesn't come from Rush Limbaugh's ass. Your crazy little brains are so fragile. Next time I see Smith I'll ask him not to make any more films that might upset you, because you might commit suicide for being white. Or some stupid thing.

Thanks for the laughs. Keep them coming, guys.

I guess it&rsquo;s settled, then.

When Radio Rwanda kept transmitting propaganda to the effect that the Hutu were planning to butcher the Tutsi, the Hutu should simply have changed the station to some nice easy listening music instead of acting all upset about it.

LMAO! Oh my God, this is great. Thank you for that. So you're equating Kevin Smith's movie with propaganda inciting genocide. Wow, that bit of logic wins the Gold for the longest jump ever.

So by your own reasoning, you hate Fox News and think they're inciters of murder and genocide, since they demonize and dehumanize liberals and Muslims via constant propaganda. Right?

Haha, now let's see those "principles" of yours twist in the wind.

Until then, be sure to keep up the drool about what a communist he is because he's to the left of Adolf Hitler. By the way, as far as popularity, did you know that AIDS is more popular than the Tea Party? People just really hate your guts, unclePerv.

The movie is a cliche pushed by a filmmaker with an obvious agenda. Some people are sick of that crap.

bad dog (11 years ago) Reply

Thanks, Derek! "Some people" are sick of your crap, too, but I won't say who they are. But there are a lot of them.

So you apparently think that Tea Party idiots--who polls show are less popular than AIDS--are just regular folks with normal, all-American, patriotic beliefs, such as rich people should pay no taxes, corporations should be free to give your kids cancer by polluting your drinking water, we should nuke all Muslim countries, the U.S. Constitution only applies to white people (and the right kind of white people), etc. etc. ad nauseum. Yup, nothing extreme here. Just a bunch of freaks who brag about wanting to destroy the United States in the name of saving it. Perfectly normal.

As for Saul Alinsky, I see you have your head up Glenn Beck's ass. You're obviously playing from his playbook. But don't worry, I heard the scary organ music, and felt a chill down my spine, as I heard "Saul Alinsky," took a long, pondering look in the mirror (complete with "Who am I?"), and realized that as a liberal I want the government to own all means of production and throw the white people in jail. *snort* I can't believe how gullible these Tea Party freaks are. They'll believe anything.

Seriously, Derek, don't you right wingers ever get bored getting worked up over things that don't exist and don't matter? (Cue Kudzu Bob, equating Kevin Smith's movie with inciting genocide in Rwanda.) Derek, reality is plenty interesting for grownups without you having to create this weird good versus evil mythology to help you sleep at night knowing you're good and everybody else is evil and the cause of all your problems. Or at least, if you want to believe in your bizarre little mythology, at least don't drag the rest of us into it. Seriously, we've heard it all before. In fact, it's gotten to a point where we know what you're going to say before you even think it.

How's that for a rant, Derek?

Oh, but the conspiracy goes much farther back than that. I'm calling Glenn Beck and telling him you haven't been paying attention. Seriously, if you're going to be a whiny, smug right winger, you have to get your crazy down pat, you can't just wing it.

Otherwise, I didn't know you made any intelligent statement to rebut. Then I checked and confirmed that you didn't. Apparently in a stupor you imagined you typed something about there being a difference between Muslim fundamentalism and Christian fundamentalism, and it was up to people here to look beyond your name calling and mindless chatter to try to refute it.

And you know what? You're right, there is a huge difference between the two. Christian fundamentalism is actually the greater threat to the security of the United States.

Most terrorist incidents in America, and most foiled attempts at terrorism, are perpetrated by right wing groups, many of whose members are Christian fundamentalists. These are facts. And when the Pro-Life types aren't killing people, they are voting for Christian fundamentalist candidates who believe the U.S. Constitution is crap and the only legal authority they recognize is the Bible (and when I say "Bible" I mean just the parts they like). These are facts.

So right wing fundamentalist Christians are not only a threat to public safety, they are also a threat to our Constitution and democratic system.

Maybe, Ninny Mouse, the real enemy is you.

Now let's hear you defend yourself. Maybe you'll find a missing comma and dismiss my entire argument.

I don't understand all this arguing. Anyone with half a brain cell should know that trying to tie the republican party together with christian right-wing extremists is a bit like trying to tie racism to football fans. Racism is everywhere - yes, it's in a minority of football fans, but it's also lots of other places too. Likewise there are extremists who try to align themselves to the republican party, but guess what - there are also a hell of a lot of these nutsjobs out there in liberal quarters too.

I live out in the midwest now and let me tell you - the people here are far more sensibe than in the liberal cities. They believe in balanced budgets, good morals and personal responsibility. If you want a nanny state where everyone turns a liberal blind-eye to anything (riots ring a bell) with an over-taxed population and big government then move to the UK. I'm so glad I got out of that shit-hole. Just a shame me and the rest of my fellow mid-western neighbours can't be left alone and keep being attacked -- mainly because 99% of the media is liberally biased and feeding most people with lies who are too lazy to investigate facts for themselves. So they just repeat it on forums.

Proud to live in a red-state and also think Clinton (A democrat) was one of the greatest presidents we have ever had if you just focus on his job and not his personal life.

Great post, Anonymous. Thanks for saying you shouldn't generalize, and then generalizing like crazy. Thanks for saying you "don't understand all this arguing," and then inflaming the argument by stereotyping liberals and saying laughable things like the media is liberally biased.

As for the "liberal cities" you despise, I think the appropriate sentence you're looking for is, "thank you." Thank you for your moral leadership, and your productivity, and paying the way for ungrateful red staters.

Fact: The blue states generally are net exporters of taxes, while most red states are net importers. That means I pay taxes that your state takes for itself, and then I have to listen to you bitch about taxes, which makes the Tea Party the big biggest bunch of ingrates I've ever seen, not to mention the most ignorant crybabies.

Fact: Red states lead the country in divorce and children out of wedlock, which again, makes holier than thou Republicans as pleasant to hear moralizing as nails on a chalkboard.

Fact: The blue states have a higher living standard per capita, higher education rates, and higher incomes than the average in most red states.

Should I go on? (Citations available upon request, by the way.) So the next time you bitch about big government, maybe you should ask what your taxes are being spent on, and if it's worth it. Do you want roads, old people to have a reliable income? Do you want multiple wars around the planet maintained by 700 military bases? Do you want clean water? Well, all this costs money. So tell me, genius: Can you do more than just bitch about liberals who pay more taxes than you, make more money, are less likely to get divorced or knock up a woman and leave her stranded? Or do you actually have a solution to current crisis? Believe me, I'd love to hear it. I'm all ears. (Hint: Saying less taxes for the rich, and less regulation on business, is not a good answer, it is the reason we have a crisis in the first place. So think real hard!)

I'm sure he's just pissed off because his food stamps and wellfare check won't be in til the 1st of the month and he's already spent last months on cheap booze and even cheaper male prostitutes. Anyone who constantly tries to pick fights over the internet must truley be a coward. You will never make a fool like him understand commonsense so I wouldn't bother trying. As for baddog, I am a straight guy but have nothing against homosexuals. You on the other hand must have some deep seeded fear that someone will discover your dirty little secret. no one care if you like to suck dick. You are a little bitch and I'm sure all the cool kids at school spend their spare time kicking your ass.

If I go out and commit a crime and then tell everyone I am part of a group of people who read quietearth.com, suddenly all of you are dangerous threats now too.

Kevin Smith the sodomite is more of a threat than any fundamentalist christian.

Kevin Smiths sodomite propaganda, which this movie is, is what is turning the West into the apocalyptic cesspool it will become with sodomites like Smith left unchecked.

That's why it's so hillarious, the sodomite blaming someone other than himself. Talk about being blind.
