thimkin about ,, javid & anderperry parallels .,

ok so both movies start by introducing their protags, neil and jack. theyre both the Popular Kid/Leader, of sorts. has a lot of friends/knows a lot of people. life could be better, could be worse. adults treat them :// the story really Starts though after introducing his lovely Narrative Foil, todd and david respectively. both are more reserved, just want to finish school/do their job in peace and solitude and be on their way. but neil and jack are like Actually No. you're my best friend now and there's nothing you can do about it. todd and david are like. fucking . fine. anyway then plot happens, there's stuff about seizing the day and standing up to authority in both! how fun. however, the ending of the movies is where it takes a sharp left. by the end, neil and todd and jack and david have become Neil And Todd and Jack And David! cute. BUT. in dps, neil's attempt to seize the day and do what he wants with his life is stopped. so he takes back control of his life by leaving. permanently. which, you know, crushes todd. jack, on the other hand, successfully seizes the day, and still decides to leave. which maybe mightve crushed david. but since his way of leaving was to simply leave town, in another attempt to do what he wanted and take control of his life, he had the chance to realize he wanted something different now, and there were other options besides leaving, and there was something worth sticking around for. so. yeah
