this movie despite all the strange violence and deviant sex and and the sadness of the main character . i actually feel kinda warm and fuzzy after i watch it . james duval character dark be so lovable and so easy to identify with even if you aren not a lonely teenager . i think this movie contain great commentary on today fast and twisted society . it be genius . even though it have shocking and sometimes stomach turn scene and it can still be funny and make you laugh . i think a good movie be about send you through a wide range of emotion and this movie meet that criterion . my friend and myself have assemble our own cult follow for this gregg araki trilogy ( inculding doom generation and totally feed up ) . if you like this movie i suggest you watch the other two . for sure this movie isn not for everyone but if you watch it once and hat it for it graphic nature i suggest you watch it again a pay attention to the lesson and social commentary .
