<human>: movies seen many years ago made a lasting impression on me, and many years later i will still be impressed by the film even though i am now somewhat unnerved by the film's unhappiness. there are two things that give movies their power: first, they cast terrifyingly young brunettes as stereotypes, and second, they make unflattering comparisons between rich people and unattractive female characters. both have impressive turn-outs as well as memorable characters, and both manage to evoke a great deal of pity and tenderness for the characters, and their contempt for their own naivety underpins their performance. this kind of subtlety is rare in young actors, and especially in young actors of the period. both david duchovny and michele forbes are perfectly cast as quirky, unhappily married couple who end up traveling across the us in their search for love. david dujovny is aptly named for a quirky, sex-obsessed journalist, while forbes is emphatically critical of the movie industry and writes books in a sort of sanitised style. both writers and the film have largely cut their success rates in recent years by recommending weaker, more disturbing movies that are less likely to be viewed as disturbing.
<bot>: I'm sorry. I don't understand. Can you repeat that in another way?
