America's Eighties

The title really misled me. From the beginning, I tried to infiltrate myself from the point of view of a cop film, but found that I was wrong. Fortunately, when I watched it, I was on a sunny morning on Sunday with sleepy eyes open. After sleeping again, lazily smokes the first cigarette of the day.
There are many beautiful bodies on the screen, women, men, the simplest natural beauty that cannot be modified. Makes me very satisfied. I tried to figure out the reason why the director arranged the story in 1983, whether this is a beautiful and free era that is as fascinating as the 60s, known as "you can see the parade in just one piece of clothing". In the homework I did in private, I couldn't find the answer to this question. I guessed a possible reason after making up the class. In the 1980s, AIDS began to officially knock on the door of mankind, declaring that it was justified to appear in the public. Is this the whole purpose of this movie? It took nearly 100 minutes to just declare a logic that has been repeated countless times, Away from AIDS, Save your life.
Always used to find a theme for the movie, this has become inevitable, because when we were learning Chinese from a young age, we were told to analyze paragraphs, refine the center, and find the structure. Perhaps the film did not intend to have a so-called theme at all, just like the absurd film that has not been shot in the film. All it needs is the picture, which is enough to fill the picture of a big bunch of popcorn. The pictures are beautiful and fashionable. Drugs, sex, rock and roll, movies, love, marriage, these products that are always detached in life, are affixed with a label that never expires. I think these are enough, totally enough, enough to connect the elements of the plot.
There are a lot of problems in life, unless you get rid of life, you must face it, so life may really be a tragedy. The picture is beautiful, and beauty is short-lived. The ancient Greeks discovered this truth a long time ago, so there was art, and literature, music, drama, and fantasy. Will come back and embrace the tragedy.

That being the case.
The plot is not important, as long as the picture is beautiful enough.

The Informers quotes

  • Christie: [regarding a little mark that appeared on her arm] Look, I have no idea what this is. And another one on my foot.

    [proffers slinky foot for him to inspect]

    Graham Sloan: [declines] Yeah, I don't know what it is either. Look, Christie, tell me something.

    Christie: What?

    Graham Sloan: What do you think about Martin?

    Christie: He's cool. He's hot.

    Graham Sloan: Yeah, hot. Hmm. Well... I know that. But... I'm just not sure that I'm at the same place as you are. You know, with everything that's... that's been going on with him. Forget it. Sorry I brought it up.

    Christie: Graham. Martin's not even staying here. He's staying at Nina Metro's. Even though he said she was insane. That reminds me... Did you get tickets for tomorrow night at the Greek? Bryan Metro? Graham! You know he doesn't mean as much as you to me.

    [scoffs]

    Christie: Come on, Graham, we are all just having fun, you know? Like, you take it all too seriously.

    Graham Sloan: Yeah, but you're also sleeping with him, and it's just stressing me out.

    Christie: What's wrong? You know I'm on the pill. Graham? Graham?

    Graham Sloan: Yeah?

    Christie: You're forgetting something.

    Graham Sloan: What?

    Christie: We're both sleeping with him. We're both sleeping with Martin. And if I'm cool with that... then...

    Les Price: Star of The Flight Patrol. It's a television show.

    [Rachel chuckles]

    Les Price: On television.

    Tim: I don't know. I guess I just must not watch enough TV.

    Les Price: [scoffs] Yeah, right.

    Rachel: Wait. You don't know who Robert Waters is?

    Tim: No, I... I don't. You do, I guess?

    Rachel: Well, I met him at Reagan's inauguration. God, I thought everybody knew who Robert Waters is.

    Tim: I... I don't. Why do you guys care?

    Rachel: Well, it's a little weird.

    Tim: Why?

    Les Price: He's here with three guys. The very macho star of Flight Patrol is here with three dudes.

    Tim: So?

    Les Price: So one of them tried to pick up Tim today.

    Tim: Me? When?

    Rachel: At the beach. Today at the bar.

    Tim: That guy?

    Les Price: Yeah. That guy.

    Tim: Look, he... he was nice. He was a nice guy.

    Les Price: [sarcastic] Yeah, I'm sure he was really nice.

    Rachel: Real nice.

    [mocking laugh at Tim, who, to hide his discomfort, lights up a cigarette]

    Rachel: You smoke?

    Les Price: I told you, Tim.

    Tim: What?

    Rachel: It's bad for you.

    Les Price: He knows. I told him last night.

    Tim: [taking a delight in smoking, blowing clouds of smoke] Am I blowing this in your face? I mean, really, is this... is this actually bothering you? I mean, we're... we're outside.

    Rachel: Look, you just shouldn't smoke, Tim.

    Tim: Okay, I'm gonna finish this cigarette somewhere else, since you two don't like it.

    [Rachel scoffs]

    Tim: The odds looking pretty good tonight, huh, Dad?

    [goes off, leaving the pretty girl to Dad]

    Rachel: [sighs] Tim, stop.

    Les Price: Let him go.

    Rachel: [clears throat] Well, thank you for dinner, Les.

    [prepares to leave]

    Les Price: Hey, hey, we're not done here.

    Rachel: No, look, just tell Tim that I'm sorry.

    Les Price: Let's have another drink, come on.

    Rachel: You know, I'll see you guys tomorrow.

    Les Price: Don't let him spoil the party, come on.
