Summary: Not really a review
Review: What's pathetic here is that reviewer High Duke of Croatia is so full of himself he doesn't realize the punk movement was a reaction to people like HIM! The punk movement was a reaction to conformity and a need-to-belong, what Nietzsche called Slave Morality. The punk movement, just like the postmodernism, was a reaction to the modernism. The modernism is an imperialist and puritan movement rooted in fascism and race hygiene. It's closely linked to Hitler's vision of a Christian super race. It's anti-life. The punk movement was a postmodernist movement. And just like the pro-life postmodernism died, replaced by the neo-modernism/fascism of today, so did the punk movement, crushed by the overwhelming numbers of slaves, like High Duke of Croatia, pitted against it.
As for GG Allin and punk. As a punk two decades ago, I never saw GG as part of the punk movement. He was a freak show, a pathetic victim of the American slave society. There's NOTHING nihilist about GG Allin. He was always trapped in the post-Socratic/Christian morality. Nihilism isn't about doubt. It's an absolute. I know for a fact. I'm a nihilist. And life couldn't be grander.

Summary: Not so hardcore
Review: When I first saw Hated I was 14 years old and hadn't been exposed to many people like GG. I've been meaning to buy the DVD for years and finally did a couple weeks ago. Seeing it again (I'm 19) it wasn't nearly as good as I thought it was. It's still really gross but I was expecting grotesque. I sound really disturbed. Ha ha.

Summary: G,G, was Hated but he was also LOVED
Review: Yes, G.G. was known for defecating on stage, eating it, throwing it, beating his head bloody, punching audience members in the face, and trying to get audience members to shove things into his anus while performing.
This documentary shows all about that and in graphic detail. G.G. Allin's antics certainly did make him Hated by mainstream society.
However, this documentary also shows much of G.G. offstage. Given his onstage act, who would have known G.G. was a loving father to adorably cute twin girls and would read Curious George and the Man with The Yellow Hat to them every night no matter how many times they already heard it? He also gave a significant portion of the profits from "Freaks, Faggots, Drunks & Junkies" to shelters for abused and neglected teens.
G.G. also noted Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton as inspirations for his stage act.
In regards to his stage act, G.G. shows conflict and remorse about his extreme antics when he describes waiting to meet Bob Keeshan (TV's Captain Kangaroo) at a Border's Book Store event and being admonished by Bob Keeshan that his reputation was an inappropriate role model for kids and young adults and that he would not sign any products for G.G. and requested G.G.'s removal from the premises.
This encounter really convicted G.G. and made him question his future as the shock punk king. It affected him so much, he almost cancelled the debaucherous '93 tour that brought the end of his life with its many excesses.
G.G. was a very diverse person and this documentary shows it all, the good and the bad.
We will miss you G.G.
