1What people say
Have a good last supper.Satirical brilliance through the perspective of a chaotic, demented little compilation of home movies. Wouldn't expect anything less from Mike Diana. Gross and obscene and extremely sharp and wide awake beyond it's irresponsibility. Discusses the pressures of religious guilt as you come of age and begin to form your own opinions that just don't align with what you've been raised to believe, being forced to pay for your sins by your environment even though that act is a betrayal against your own personal beliefs. The hypocrisy of a religion selling itself as nothing but love to demonise the choice to turn away, infringing and violating you in order to "keep the faith", and the scars that leaves behind.Discusses mortality with a nihilistic perspective on the fragility of life, concerning youthful behaviour and rejection of the narcissistic imposition of power felt by religious fanatics who consider any opposing opinion heathenous.Fucking insane and honestly fantastic capsule of Diana's mentality and viewpoints. Troubled, vulgar and poignantly anarchic.Didn't like the part where they had the dog lick up spit repeatedly. That didn't sit right with me to be honest, but I appreciated it's symbolism among the rest of the footage.Eat the lord, Daisy. Eat the lord.
"very disrespectful"
