This was 5AM, this was a really hard scene for me because it’s so much of the rooting interest as them for a couple is based on a scene, and it reminds me also of that scene in West Side Story where they’re like pretending to be in the wedding shop, it sort of channels that in a way.
And Rebel Without a Cause as well.
Yeah, yep. Exactly, there’s this sort of notion of these guys playing house and I think it’s Tom’s domestic fantasy, he’s sort of leading the way like ‘Maybe we could live like this’ and he’s being sort of ironical but I think there’s something that’s really hopeful about it.
