Aidai T @ayiii 1 day ago I did not like Pink Flamingos very much because many of the scenes were disgusting and uncomfortable to watch. I understand that John Waters was trying to shock the audience and challenge normal ideas about movies, but the film was sometimes too extreme for me. I did think Divine gave a memorable performance, and the movie was definitely different from anything I have seen before. Overall, I can see why it is considered an important cult film, but it was not really my type of movie. See more Luisa L @uwisa127 2 days ago This is the first movie I have ever found strange. It wasn't a movie I enjoyed watching but more surviving to finish it. Their acting just didn't seem good overall. Very different than what I've seen before.

This being the first movie to watch and rate for a film class is something I never expected in my academic career. This movie is literally a biohazard and I would never watch it again. The extra star and half is out of respect for the cast’s dedication in their roles. The characters are too weird and dysfunctional for me to understand and process at the same time. Some scenes between Babs and the marbles I found funny because of how stupid it was. Watching did not feel like homework because as much as it disgusted me it still intrigued me. The ending was the worst of it all.

But I would want to warn anyone about the actual crude filth they're in for before they watch it. I though the costume department did a wonderful job though.

It is meant to shock the audience and challenge what people normally expect from a movie. The characters are extremely unusual, and the story is purposely over-the-top and uncomfortable at times. Even though I did not enjoy every part of the movie, I can understand why it became a cult classic. It is different from almost anything else, and it clearly does not care about following traditional movie rules. What stood out to me the most was how the movie uses shock and dark humor to get a reaction from the audience. I think people either love this movie or completely hate it because of how extreme it is. Personally, I would not say it is one of my favorite movies, but I can appreciate how unique and memorable it is. It definitely left an impression on me, which I think is exactly what the director wanted.
