What I learned from this movie...
The gay dating scene has not changed at all in the past 14 years since this movie was made. While I admit I love sappy gay dramas, I liked this movie because it felt raw and real. It showed the true side to gay dating; that it isn't all about happy endings and all that stuff. I guess that's why I appreciate what Araki is trying to convey: that this generation is doomed. All this generation cares about is sex, marriage at a young age, pregnancy, drugs, and drinking. I also get kinda depressed when I see what he tries to say is true but there's no hiding the truth.
I've only seen 3 films of Araki's (Totally *beep* Up, Doom Generation, and Mysterious Skin) and from what I've seen I appreciate what he has to say. It's the truth. I'm looking forward to whatever film he decides to release next.
