It's suppose to be pretentious bullshit right?
It was supposed to encapsulate the feeling of being a teenager in the time the film was made, which is when almost all fictional teenagers were depicted as unreasonably wealthy for some reason. Basically "all grownups are stupid, self-interested, and hypocritical" the movie. Also time travel and a time-travel ghost.
It's supposed to have great atmosphere, which it does

>Whats this retard is trying to say:
The entire premise is a metaphor for the wealthy sub-urban teenager with a sense of anarchy and existentialism based on the idea that it feels like the world "rests on our shoulders".
Its essentially "teen angst: the movie", but with a great narrative of the (probably autistic) main character and the whole time travel paradox.

it was suppose to be a direct to tape video budget.
it was cut to seem pretentious, but the full version is less pretentious, but most people actually like the pretentious version because really....
it's not that pretentious, more open ended, the way most people WANT flics to be.
it's a good movie.

>Chapter One:
The Tangent Universe
The Primary Universe is fraught with great peril. War, plague, famine and natural disaster are common.
Death comes to us all. The Fourth Dimension of Time is a stable construct, though it is not impenetrable.
Incidents when the fabric of the fourth dimension becomes corrupted are incredibly rare.
If a Tangent Universe occurs, it will be highly unstable, sustaining itself for no longer than several weeks.
Eventually it will collapse upon itself, forming a black hole within the Primary Universe capable of destroying all existence.

>Chapter Seven:
The Manipulated Living
The Manipulated Living are often the close friends and neighbors of the Living Receiver.
They are prone to irrational, bizarre, and often violent behavior.
This is the unfortunate result of their task, which is to assist the Living Receiver in returning the Artifact to the Primary Universe.
The Manipulated Living will do anything to save themselves from Oblivion.

>Chapter Ten:
The Manipulated Dead
The Manipulated Dead are more powerful than the Living Receiver. If a person dies within the Tangent Dimension, they are able to contact the Living Receiver through the Fourth Dimensional Construct.
The Fourth Dimensional Construct is made of Water.
The Manipulated Dead will manipulate the Living Receiver using the Fourth Dimensional Construct (see Appendix A and B).
The Manipulated Dead will often set an Ensurance Trap for the Living Receiver to ensure that the Artifact is returned safely to the Primary Universe.
If the Ensurance Trap is successful, the Living Receiver is left with no choice but to use his Fourth Dimensional Power to send the Artifact back in time into the Primary Universe before the Black hole collapses upon itself.
