SLC Punk
SLC Punk! (1999) is a movie directed by James Merendino. "SLC Punk" stands for Salt Lake City Punk. The movie is about a young punk, Stevo, an anarchist (though his views on anarchism would be considered, by most anarchists, to be that of a poser/one that advocates a violent society) whose life changes when his best friend dies from a drug overdose.
The story is based on real characters, though embellished to some extent. Stevo is commonly thought to be based on Steve Egerton, who played for the Salt Lake punk band The Urban Posers, and eventually joined the L.A. band The Descendents (The real Steve never became a lawyer). Many of the party scenes, drug-crazed characters, and others are based on real events, or at least events everyone swears happened in Salt Lake City at the time.
Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.
Plot
The movie outlines the daily lives of the seemingly only two punks in Salt Lake City Stevo and Heroin Bob (who doesn't do heroin). The film has a documentary style feel to it, and Stevo often speaks directly to the camera.
