Another title (but with much less punch) for this movie might have been Truth. Because that's what Johnny's into: peeling all the layers of make-believe & let's pretend from every aspect of life. Which is why the characters in the film as well as many of the viewers of it are so uncomfortable in his presence. Johnny is just not polite to or considerate of other people; he Thinks Too Much. He's a contemporary Raskolnikov. I've watched Naked many times & read the script while viewing (I find this useful with a lot of Mike Leigh's masterpieces). This movie is dangerous & subversive to anyone who worships the twin contemporary gods of Fashion & Success. It totally demolishes the concepts of Security & Identity, the twin anchors in today's sea of existence.
