Can you guess the movie from its first and last shot? This one is ironically for Pride month.

The answer is after the jump when you scroll down...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you don't recognize the first image it's because it's a strobe light on dancing bodies inbetween title cards. How perfect that the first image is blue and red and the characters all have color coded names.  This is Gregg Araki's self proclaimed "Heterosexual Movie" The Doom Generation (1995) but in actually it's queer af. As long as I live I'll never forget a certain, uh, moment with Xavier Red (Johnathon Schaech) 'cleaning' his fingers after watching Jordan White (James Duval) and Amy Blue (Rose McGowan) having sex. The Doom Generation is currently streaming on the Criterion Channel along with the two other Araki pictures (Totally F***** Up, and Mysterious Skin).
