>>81510201andre hated the world and wanted to hurt people, while cal was aimlessly suicidal and willing to go along with anything. when they got together, they shared a sense of existential dread, and a feeling of superiority over the useless cattle around them. they were insecure, angsty teenagers, and there was nothing left to do in their quiet suburb. its a movie about insecurity and edgelord nihilism, and it nails that aspect of youth so well. the scene from the night before where they try to explain why they're doing this, and just kind of babble about nothing while trying to sound deep tells you all they need to know.
