This film had so much potential for me specifically. It could have been the perfection of the black pill, and I'm surprised this isn't more ingrained in "doomer" culture. But it was never really meant to be that, which is obvious from the beginning of the movie, where Archie decides to be public about his convictions, something who truly wants to commit wouldn't do. He was searching for attention and a way out, despite what he says in the movie, but he does recognize his hypocrisy that I can relate to.
Corey, a character introduced later is the true synthesis of the feeling of suicidal thought. He doesn't truly reach out as with Archie, or even Sierra who reaches out to Archie. He simply felt how he felt and acted upon that in full selfishness and guilt for those who may have cared about him.
Overall, the movie is does an incredible job at exhibiting the experience of a lost teenager; someone who wants help and doesn't know how to seek it amongst a world that doesn't really care-and they themselves don't understand why they feel this way. They act out and rebel, they feign an apathetic stance, when, in reality, they are searching for someone to bring them into the light. The intense constantly transitioning and quick scenes helps to evoke the feeling of someone in this situation. The clips throughout make this feel like the Plunderphonics of film, and it was done really well, the soundtrack fits perfectly to what the piece wanted to be perceived as and altered as needed.
