kept thinking about this one quote from susan sontag's regarding the pain of others: "all images that display the violation of an attractive body are, to a certain degree, pornographic."
the clips of violence and sex in this film are often indistinguishable from one another, to the point that you find yourself unsure of what the main characters are even watching many times.
though this is such a film based on the teenage boy psyche, i couldn't help but be drawn to the few female characters and the way that they suffer at male hands that have been influenced by this video sex and violence, even though, at least from my experience, these girls are often consuming the same things, though internalizing it in much different ways.
really fascinating film, will stick with me for a while
