As he delves ever more riskily and recklessly into the question of who his new, troubled friend actually may be, Gabriel becomes more and more the fact-hunting detective, when he should be the inner child (it's OK to use that term; the film itself offers several put-downs of New Age thinking) desperate to find a kindred spirit. More riskily, he intimates that such resistance is actually the "essence" of blackness itself, and that this blackness--or, perhaps, this particular performance of blackness--is something that must not only be seen but heard if it is to be understood. Peirce's vision of this rural dystopia is so wholly bleak, with a male element so unremittingly vicious, that it's hard to imagine Brandon ever wanting to join in; but as she riskily falls in love with the ex- girlfriend of one of the thugs, exhilaration blinds her to all danger, and events grind toward tragedy. |
