The best part was walking back home from the cinema. I’d forgotten how nice it can be to walk through the city at night, especially in the summer. The smell of green foliage, walking past groups of kids laughing and gossiping about who’s going out with who, cooking smells and more laughter coming out of the student accommodation building, the waft of scented candles from a window not far from home, two children looking out, chatting about the things children…

Legend 1985
I was blown away by the sheer look of this film. But, thinking about it now, I’m not so sure about its take on monobrows. Tom Cruise sports what looks like his natural monobrow in this, and because his character is good, natural, and authentic, this suggests that we are meant to infer that monobrows are good, natural, and authentic as well.
