Epic Subtext in a Trashy Film???
When i first watched this i was like what the ****??? But the movie made a lasting impression on me. I loved the overblown homoerotic references (despite being straight) and the doom inspired attitude. However, the more i watch it, the more interested i become in what is going on in the subtext. Here is my most recent theory, feel free to comment:
At first i thought Amy Blue was the human of the piece and Xavier Red was Satan personified/demon and Jordan White was a Jesus character/angel. It seemed to me as the film proceeds they fight for Amy's soul.
But... having watched the film a lot more now i am starting to think maybe Xavier is the human and he just stumbles across this Demon(Amy)/Angel(Jordan) odd couple, who then proceed to fight for his soul through words and temptations. It makes more sense for Amy to be the demon because all the people recognising her could be people she has tempted and screwed over in the past. (But that bit is a rough at the moment).
