It is ABOUT violent youth who have been created by a broken society. It's a world that's starting to become a reality.
I honestly recommend to anyone ; read the book. The film doesn't capture the message (or, the warning?). It was written as almost science fiction. It doesn't seem so far fetched any more. Much like Orwell. These authors saw what was coming.

It's not just that film though, I've seen and heard people say things to and about Homeless people like that all my life, not just in the last 4 years. And I maintain that these girls were drunken idiots probably prone to a bit of violence and if that Homeless guy hadn't been around then someone else probably would have annoyed them and got a beating
