Think of it as a long MV.

I haven't seen any of Jordan's other films, but this one alone really touched me a lot.

Totally 1980s vibe. A short skirt with a big V-neck and a shrug of the shoulders, a large suit with a tight white T-shirt, a motorcycle leather jacket, and a large silk-lined bow collar in a wide-shoulder suit. Just looking at the costumes on the horns doesn't seem like a waste of time, not to mention that another third of the time the horns don't wear clothes...

and music. It's definitely not as petty as the pirate radio station, and it's like a collection of songs in the heart of the 60th anniversary of the National Day. Blurred electronica and vibrating violins keep the film warm, making it a far less sloppy film than serious band biopics like "control" and "the doors." In the 1980s, the anti-war love and peace were left behind a few cross roads, and began to have no taboos. The people in the film take drugs with confidence, no one cares about the grand theme, and all the experiences return to the body itself. Which is more noble in 1980s or 1970s? Standing on the high ground overlooking the bright lights of LA, is it not the loneliness that is painful to the bone.

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...

  • Rachel: So, did anybody see that Robert Waters is here?

    Tim: Who's that?

    Les Price: Come on, Tim. Robert Waters.

    [Rachel scoffs]

    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.
