He just wanted to be loved
19 October 2015
The Natural History of Parking lots is a very good film I loved it. It is hard to find but it is entirely in black and white which I believes adds to the serious nature of the Film.

The film is about Chris (Don't know who plays him) a troubled 17 year old boy who gets his excitement through stealing cars in Los Angeles. One day he gets arrested and is left in the custody of his rich but neglectful father, who couldn't care less about him, and makes his older brother Lance (B.Wyatt) take care of Chris by paying him 2,000.

Chris an Lance at first don't get along that well but eventually do. The film more or less is about them bonding and getting to know each other. Anyways Lance invites his girlfriend Kelly over and Chris finds them in the bathtub together and gets angry at Lance and feels Lance is neglecting him. The ending is really sad and Chris has to now live with is awful father. At one point Chris asks if his father loves him and says yes in the most uncaring unenthusiastic way possible. I felt sorry for him.

Lance/B. Wyatt steals every scene he is in with Chis and I think is the heart and soul of the entire film. He has great chemistry with the guy who plays Chris. I recommend this film.
