The Parallax View (The Test Scene)

The Parallax View is a 1974 conspiracy thriller set in the aftermath of a presidential candidate's assassination atop the Seattle Space Needle. A freelance journ*list (this used to be an actual thing and not just any blue hair with a twitter account) played by Warren Beatty inherits the investigation after another journ*list mysteriously dies. He comes to suspect a government intelligence contractor called The Parallax Cotporation. He presents himself as an unstable loner and is recruited into the corporation who, it turns out, engineer political assassinations by murder hobos such as they believe him to be. This sequence represents the psychological test they put him through. What it means, and how it allows the corporation to assess him is never fully explained but it's clearly testing him to see if he's a homosexual chud.
