''Kill the Poor'' is director Alan Taylor's screen adaptation of a novel by Joel Rose. The film is set in Manhattan's Alphabet City in the early 1980s, when the neighborhood was a center of illegal drug activity. The film's title comes from the Dead Kennedys song "Kill the Poor". ==Plot== ''Kill the Poor'' begins with a fire in the apartment of tough guy Carlos DeJesus and his trouble-making son, Segundo. The screenplay then focuses on the other tenants of the rundown building in an attempt to determine who set the blaze. The other principals are: * Joe Peltz, a young man who ignored his uncle's warnings to bring his wife Annabelle and their young child into the neighborhood where his Jewish grandparents had their start in America; * Spike, an aspiring found-object sculptor; * Delilah, a flamboyant gay man; * Butch, a presumptuous graduate student; * Scarlet, the tenement's resident floozy; * Negrito, a fixture in the neighborhood. A shared distrust of Carlos and Segundo unites this eclectic group and prompts them to hold "co-op" meetings with one goal: eviction of Carlos and Segundo DeJesus. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kill the Poor (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
