Totalmente fodido, 彻底完蛋
hot pink late night phone calls on transparent phones. supermarket murals. queer dysfunction and TV hum-soaked confusion.
disillusioned gay teens wandering through a gen-x desolation posturing and fucking and over confidently stating The Facts. Ghosts of society left to die and be dead. being a teenager is hard enough, but being a queer teenage nihilist, left to wander art installations and industrial concerts and car parks and gas stations and shit jobs looking for love in Bush's Conservative America? fuck that.
Every rewatch of this film gives me something extra to enjoy, especially this viewing since i am a 27 year old boy lost in a locked sea of emotional and psychological waste. i found solace in TFU.
Gregg Araki films are everything to me.
Definitely fucked up to a CERTAIN extent but TOTALLY fucked up? Gotta think about it
Honestly I think if I had watched this when I was 17 it would have changed my life
“Let me tell you what the problem with the stupid fucking world is. All the stupid people are breeding like mad having tens and tens of kids, while the cool people aren't having any! So, the population just keeps getting stupider and stupider! I mean, it's no wonder the whole world's going down the toilet.”
personally i think the only good review for totally fucked up comes from someone who gave it a 1 star rating and said: “i can’t empathize with jobless teens who live in LA and have a pool. these people are insufferable. real rich kid art school bullshit.”
This movie has post-punk, depression and gay sex, how do you think I feel about it?
multiple times throughout the day, every day, i sit and think about james duval saying "don't touch me unless you mean it"
have not gone a single day without thinking about at least one araki film ever since i saw my first one 10 days ago...
