: I found Clerks to be an overrated film. I found that the fact it was made for such a limited budget critics and fans made it become a better film. Kevin's films after Clerks are all far better (not just technically) but the direction is far more accute and the scripts are of a different class. Anyway, my main hope is for Kevin to anwer my following question. Did he/you make many short films before Clerks and do you make any short films now?
To me, I love CLERKS cause it's REAL (or, about as real as a movie involving a girl fucking a dead guy in a poorly lit bathroom can be). The dialog was real, the people were real, the situations were real (well, mostly real...you know, the whole Fucking the dead guy thing). I think that many people share my opinion and that's what makes it such a great film.
I think the review at the IMDB put it the best. One of the reviews there reads: "I quit my job at a convience store, but I never knew why...until CLERKS. After that, I knew why."
My two cents,
