Alex Delarge is a metaphor for the heart.
Dim is the body.
Georgie is the mind.
Pete is the soul.
Interesting.

How so?
shareIn the beginning shoot Alex is in the middle of his groupe sitting...and they all wore similar clothes. Alex had an odd interaction with Dim (when he sat on him). Alex also LOVES music. So, what can be affected by art, have connections to love and bodies, and is at the core? The answer is...the heart. Georgie was the one reminding the groupe of reality (no magic little Alex) which i guess makes him the second to the heart in leading a person, as in the mind. Pete was the most silent making him the soul (remains harmonious) and lastly...Dim must be the body.
shareThe heart of DARKNESS more like it, ha.
