Permanent Midnight Response
Response Paper to "Permanent Midnight." This movie starts off with Jerry and Kitty in bed. They apparently met in rehab. Kitty seems very interested in Jerry's life and how it he has gotten to where he is now. Not much is said about her life throughout the movie. Jerry starts off with telling Kitty he moved to L.A. to get away from drugs. He later married a friend's friend so she could get a green card. Slowly the woman he married starts liking him. But he seems like he's not interested. She asks him to stay one night and he makes up an excuse to leave. Then she asks him to move in since they are married and all and he passes again. In the meantime, he is getting worse and worse on drugs. He can't afford them so he begins to steal them from his friend Nicky. While at Nicky's one day, Jerry's sister calls to tell him his mother has died. He flies home and cleans up her blood. Then just flies back to L.A. I don't understand this part. When he got back to L.A. he went to a bar. At the bar his show was on and he heard a lady tell the bartender to turn it off because it was bad. This intrigued him. He then approaches her. They ended up having sex, then he found out she had a husband. They also do drugs
She tries to approach him, but he avoids her to go to the bathroom and shoot up some more. He starts to remember things, like when he had the baby and went to a bar and got high and forgot about caring for the baby. She ends up going home to Alaska and leaves him with a note while he is in bed. He confesses that he was making $5000 a week and spending $6000 on drugs a week. He decides to do her show and she gives him the drugs back. He want to see her more but Sandra doesn't think that is a good idea. She gets up to go to work, then about 2 hours later he gets up does heroin then takes a 5 mile jog. He begins doing television shows about his addiction. I think he approached this woman because she didn't like his show and he felt he didn't have to be "perfect" around her as he felt around everyone else. He goes to the interview messed up and doesn't get the job. He goes outside and gets in his car when a man name Gus approaches him about buying some drugs. Sandra is hesitant to let him see the baby.
