Before we look at the movie itself we should take a glance at the two minds behind the mayhem. Trey Parker and Matt Stone have become household names in the last couple of years with the explosion of South Park's popularity. They have run the gamete of views from vilified for corrupting the youth to being praised for taking an aggressive critique of society. Trey Parker, born in 1969, grew up in Conifer, Colorado where at an early age he found his way into shocking audiences. While putting on a production in 6th grade, Parker and a friend did a skit call Dentist where he pretended to drill through the patient's head. He later had to apologize for the skit in an effort to convince the other students that it was ok to go to the dentist (Unknown p.1). After high school, Parker attended Berkley School of music in Boston, then later transferred to the University of Colorado to study film. This is where he met Matt Stone, and began the duo that would shock a nation. While at U of C, Parker created a trailer for a film that did not exist as a class project. The trailer was so popular on campus that Parker created a movie to go with, which caused him to be kicked out of school one semester short of graduating (Unknown p1). .
Matt Stone, originally from Houston, Texas, moved to Littleton, Colorado as a child. Stone excelled in school, and then attended University of Colorado, where he met Trey Parker. While in film study with Parker, instead of looking at film noir, they created cult classics such as Jesus vs. Santa and Jesus vs. Frosty short clips. Stone graduated from the Colorado with a double major in Film and Math. Throughout there parternship they have produced many value shaking projects like, Cannibal: The Musical, Orgazmo, Your .
Studio and You, and American History. These where the predecessors to South Park and help establish Parker and Stone as two people that weren't going to play by the rules.
