"Smiths
fans
always

young."


"Oh, they'll get off on this, they'll think it's hip, slick, and cool!"

Rose:
The whole ending of the film starting with the raping and murdering is so
metaphorical at that point: Jimmy obviously represents
everything innocent and soft — and anyone with any dream or imagination in this
society is doomed.... I can't speak
for Xavier, but
for me at the end during the rape scene, which was definitely the most difficult
part for me to do in the film, even

though Amy survives, I played it as if it was her death.
Any part of her that was soft up until that point — a wall or veneer goes

over it and dies. I think at the end it is saying how
tough it is to live in this society, and in order to survive, that innocent part
has
to die so that the
physical being can go on. It's such a beautiful moment at the end, even though
it's resolved, it's peaceful after
the horror and
raucousness of what has gone on before, so at the end there's

just quiet.
