A few social-political thoughts about the film before I head to bed (and before I had read the critical reviews):

• Why allow Terry to say, “Lots of Garcias here?”
• Why was Joe’s “in-the-zone” composition a piece of contemporary minimalistic music, not jazz-like at all?
• Why was 22 an annoying white middle-aged woman? Are we supposed to laugh?
• How did Terry catch the wrong Black man?
• Why is it a “business of inspiration?”

A few aesthetic thoughts about the film before I head to bed (and before I had read the raving reviews):

• Terry and the Jerries are quite beautiful. Picasso-like.
• The ship on crystalline sand.
• Blue wool suit, not polyester!
