You know, if you embrace my theories the way I do then I am actually not surprised there are NOT overt signs of cornfields in this film, I think to myself writing this sentence as I have the DVD paused to make this note. Then just before I was about to make this post I thought back to the scene of "Angel" caressing the statue of Jesus Christ in the church, and I barely recall that brief scene but I recall the smirk on her face and I think again about how seriously annoyed I was with the mannequins I kept seeing but my real-life companion in that world did not see mannequins but actual mechanized beings and they told her to not tell me they were mechanized and I did not know about that until she told me about it in the real world.
I mean sure, I think now remembering what I had wrote earlier in my blog about the cornfield. I was on that flight, while everyone else had ducked and covered and I was still sitting up so I could maintain custody of the prisoner, then everything went kind of fuzzy for a second, even more so, and then the quietness was staggering. I have written about that before, that sense in my mind of sudden quietness, and that was me sitting precisely as I had been on the airplane and there was nothing around me but tall stalks of corn and I was still sitting in the same airplane seat but I was all alone in that cornfield and it was suddenly blaring and maddenly blaring quietness. It drives me crazy now just trying to thing again about that.
I think often about how we each struggled with that world. She already knew who I was, I have thought consistently. I guess I would have known who she was. I have wondered if she told me she was married to my biological brother and whether she told me anything about that because I think now consistently that I didn't know anything about him before 1989 although sometimes I have thought otherwise.
She drives away, earlier in the film and the car door is flopping open. The scene started with "Jim" opening the front door of his apartment and leaves were blowing in around the open door and then he is startled to see "Patty" standing there. The dialog has her complaining about how at least his friends had been honest with her.
Nothing about this film is familiar. If I had watched it before then I should recognize at least some of it in the context of watching the film and I do not recognize any details that suggest I have ever before today watched that film.
1987 film "Date with an Angel" DVD video:
01:18:46
Jim Sanders: [ to Angel: ] You know, I really care about Patty. She's - she's - okay, so she's not you, but - please, if you can't look at me without that stupid look of affection on your face then don't look at me at all! Because I've got enough problems, you know, I'm only human. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I know, I know it's not your fault. But it's crazy to feel this way about you. Don't you see, we could never have a real life together because you don't belong here. And it's not that I don't feel something and it's not that I don't care. But, I mean, who wouldn't fall in love with you?
