Description
The implication here is that Brandon and Philip experience a disconnect between their actual lives and their outward manifestations of a closeted life. As a result, this disconnect becomes manifest in an action that provides them with a sense of agency. This is not no suggest that this is either a moral imperative or the only way they could have regained the experience of continuity, but Bataille does suggest that this taboo action creates an experience in which everyone who remains experiences a continuity in which everything is united.
New World Disorder: Disaster and Desire consists of pieces based on some of the most famous disaster films: Airport (1970), Poseidon Adventure (1972) Earthquake (1974), and Towering Inferno (1974).
