:37:01
- What about those films influenced you?
- Oh, it's simple.

:37:05
Dawn of the Dead seemed more
realistic than Hollywood films.

:37:08
There was gray skies
and dead trees...

:37:12
and the National Guard out there.
:37:14
It was just something
I didn't see in other films.

:37:17
It was just great. The dialogue
was different. There was blood.

:37:21
Night of the Living Dead--
It was in black-and-white.

:37:23
Dead trees and gray skies.
:37:25
Texas Chainsaw Massacre was like one
of those 16-millimeter accident films...

:37:30
they'd show you in school--
:37:33
the grain of it
and the saturated color of it.

:37:36
I'd be having nightmares.
:37:38
I mean, that was really
like being alive...

:37:42
and watching something instead of
something dead like a Hollywood film.

:37:46
- What was the last movie he took you to?
- Apocalypse Now.

:37:51
Did you like it?
:37:53
And he kept on saying,
"The horror."

:37:58
- Who said that?
- The guy on Apocalypse Now.

:38:01
I like it here.
:38:04
I'm pretty sure
my mom and dad live here.

:38:06
I guess they keep an address here,
even though my dad's not around much.

:38:12
My mom-- Swedish girl,
a little excitable.

:38:18
My mother and my father,
they just don't mix very well.

:38:22
The home environment
wasn't what--

:38:26
Had I had a say
in what it should be...

:38:30
it would've been
somewhat different in that--

:38:35
Well, no, it's getting
in the personal.

:38:38
There always was conflict. You never
knew what was going to happen.

:38:42
Sometimes it would be scary,
and I think how he dealt with it...

:38:45
was completely withdrawing
from the family.

:38:52
Two tens and two dollars.
:38:54
So I'll either win ten
or a dollar if I win.

:38:58
- No, I didn't win anything.
- Life is hard.
