You havin some problems?

Well, gee - thanks so much for explaining that to me. I've been watching that movie for 35 years and just had no idea.

Every time I think we've hit rock bottom in this place ...

Scene from PR where Princey is tossing up fathers music in air and flips out crying then smashes stuff in the room, glass shattering, pulling over shelves etc... It’s reflective of that pain and anger we all have sometimes where we need to unleash it... let that stuff out. Dig? It is in that pain that’s our saving grace, maturity, etc.

I always thought it was interesting that, apparently, his Mom, who was portrayed as something of a party girl, managed to find the time to do all that canning and preserving. I mean there was shelf after shelf of those jars.

And why did they do a chalk outline of someone who was still living?

Hold on ...... in the movie I remember he smashes things FIRST. Not the sheets of music

He ripped the idea from Citizen Kane.

That's because she was really wasn't going out to the bars. She was really just at a canning party with friends. They did all of that canning while getting pickled in the process! Domesticated drinking... [Edited 12/5/19 22:40pm]

I'm loving the hidden canning/preserves narrative in this thread. Do you think all that making of preserves put too much stress on their marriage

Yes I thought that would have been obvious for Prince 101. Google where the film was set for Pete's sake.

-

never understood,

and never will

why people feel the urge

to react distructive or violent

-

that's not how I get angry

and demolish stuff

isn't that very childish to do so ?

-

if you don't know how to deal with anger

you got a problem when smashing things up.
