Eve gave Adam an apple. The witch gave Snow White one too. Roberta gives Dez the Port Authority locker key that was in the jacket that used to belong to Susan. The locker key leads to all of Susan's worldly possessions. Susan is a homeless prostitute but everybody loves her because she's so confident and sexy and crazy stylish.
What happened to the grungy 80's films? The art direction is about color, mimes, NYC and LA dirt. And lots of shoulder pads. Even in the 80's we made fun of the 80's. Now we miss the 80's.
There was something innocent about the desperation in the aesthetic of 80's art. Today it's revered because technology has caught up with the dream. Only 30 years ago we had to dream it first and then try. There was a lot of guts behind those explosions of LOOK. AT. ME. Everything may look and sound more polished now but the guts are missing.
