Last night's rerun of Mad Men was "The Runaways." A whole lot of stuff happens,but it's the one where Betty and Henry fight over her politicing at a social event ("Your job is to tell people how much you worry about bread crumbs getting in the butter!!!") and it scares the crap out of Bobby and it just so happens that his sister is there to help him through it, as best she can.
I'm glad someone decided to put that on the screen.
I caught something playing on t.v. while I was waking up.
It was talking about a title sequence and I thought they meant a movie. At length it turned out to be Mad Men.
They discussed the way the floor falls out of the character. Then they showed it. Almost Matisse-like cut out's. The male suited figure remains standing while the shatters and falls background.
That means the main character has shed his entire identity. Now that the (falsely sustained) world around him dissolved it allows his to fully inhabit his true self.
So now apparently you have the true character inhabiting the body living operating within what he knows a contrived reality sustained by sheer collective will.
It allows the character a lot of freedom and it allows viewers a metaperspective, I suppose all this, along the lines of Jane Austin whereby the character's timeless perspective makes them relatable to modern viewers and anachronistic for their own time within their own stories.

It's all fun and games and adventure most excellent until you go running off a cliff.
I can't wait to see pictures of these two.

Editing problem or perhaps dyslexia I meant to say
while the background shatters and falls apart.
Perhaps this might be of interest: LINK.
Somehow, I now find myself reminded of that famous quote about how analyzing humor is like dissecting a frog.
Let's see if it's on the interwebs . . . Super.
