:53:01
with the end of the era
of permissive drug use in Hollywood.

:53:06
In the years before that,
there had been this notion

:53:10
that cocaine was not addictive
and that it was very much up front.

:53:18
The first cocaine I ever took
:53:20
was given to me by my
production manager on Blue Collar.

:53:24
This was the end of
that four or five years

:53:29
where drug use was deemed
permissible in Hollywood.

:53:35
It affected this film, as it did
many other films at this time.

:53:40
In a case like this, you can see
all the design priorities -

:53:47
that bed, the blanket, the painting.
:53:55
Here's a little homage
to the film I wanted to do and did next,

:54:01
which was the life of Yukio Mishima.
:54:27
This is one of those cases
where you have a driving shot

:54:34
and you tell the actors to loosen it up.
:54:39
It's always better if they can
come up with something.

:54:43
Because it doesn't feel scripted.
That wasn't scripted.

:54:49
Now we're out in Slidell,
:54:53
which is probably full
of condominiums by now.
