Co-sign, it was very good.

I noticed many commonalities with other media, which I will lay out non-exhaustively under a spoiler tag below. I welcome any additional such commonalities you or anyone else might be able to point out:

spoiler
Apprentice To Murder – A minor goes on trial for violence they did not instigate then upon release goes on to live in the city with their girlfriend

Nightmare On Elm Street II: Freddy’s Revenge – Anxiety related to and around homosexuality sublimated into threats from bladed instruments

Una Mujer Fantástica – A Queer person has to ignore horrific anti-Queer abuse they are directly subjected to lest they face additional worse abuse

Friday The 13th part 3-D – Red fabric and a rapid frame cut is used to imply blood resulting from a head injury

Empire Record – A person acting slutty and offering sex in an attempt at gaining intimate connection is dismissively instructed to preform fellatio instead

The photography of Eugeny Hramenkov – a person is forced to drink milk

A Clockwork Orange – People add drugs to milk

Meet Your Meat – A filthy pig gets shot with a gun

Harold and Maude – An older woman kisses a younger man

Johnny Mnemonic – After a lethal struggle with an adversary seemingly ends, the prior threat subsequently moves while being just garbage

Breakfast Club – A character considers it appropriate to consume things directly out of the carton

Richard Elfman put out a computer colorized version a few years ago- but he made it look like a 1930s Technicolor movie in terms of the color scheme, so it's one of the only colorized movies I've ever seen that actually improved upon the original. He also put out an even newer edition where he digitally replaced the head of the blackface guy at the beginning with a clown. I haven't seen that version. If he just updated the head and not the voice, though, why bother?
