There are several neat small references all over the world The latest film by Darren Aronofoski, "Caught Stealing". Most of these have to do with the selected setting of the film, Newouper City in 1998. There is a moment when the film's protagonist, Hank (Austin Butler), walks after Kim's video, a well -known destination for Cinefiles during the 1980s and 90s. There are various references to music and culture, sprinkled around, from Hank's roommate, Rus (Matt Smith), built into punk culture to the huge number of needle drops used. There is even an orderly small self-reference aspect of film setting, since 1998 was a year that The debut feature of Aronofsky, "PI" was published. That film happened in contemporary nyuork, which means that there is a possibility of "pi" and "caught theft" at the same time. Aronofsky-venice, someone?

All this aside, there is one element in the film that particularly refers to the cult classic in the 1980s, celebrating its 40th anniversary this year: "After Hours" in 1985, directed by Martin Scorsese. That movie starred Griffin Dan as Paul HackettCorporate entry of data entry data, which has its lifespan, turned upside down during a long, strange night in Nyyork while chasing a beautiful and mysterious girl, Marcy (Rosana Arquette). Dan not only appears in "caught theft" in accompanying role as the owner of the bar where Hank works, but his image is also sex, meaning that Aronofs and screenwriter Charlie Huston absolutely had Dunn "After hours" heritage in mind When you write and throw the actor. Dan's presence in a "caught theft" could not have been much more than Scorsese's wink, but Aronofsky uses it more responsibly, allowing Paul to double as an sly meta reference and a character unique to this film.

One way in which the "after hours" reference in the "caught theft" features is to give an audience that saw the former film hint of the type of film. After all, both films are stories of Cuyork, each of them concerns the secret to the city, and as "caught stealing" takes place for several days while "after hours" is only one night, they both belong to the subgenerer of the comedy "Everyone who enters the head". Both films share a bit of the same tone. "Caught Stealing" is much more than NOR, while "after hours" is more surreal farce, but the two films make a meal than recalling the expectations of the audience, at least tonal. There are times in "after hours" that feel similar to a horror movie, while "caught stealing" has a cruel string in it, the one that acts like peanut butter to his chocolate sense of humor, so to speak.

For someone to look fast in Dan, who appears in both "after hours" and "caught stealing", they can conclude that they are intended to be the same sex. Although there is something ironically ridiculous about the office drone to turn into a wild and woolen hard party to the owner of the lower East Bar, mathematics is not added, at least in terms of years, if not character. Of course, there is nothing in "catching" to mean that this can be the same person. However, the characters that share the same name are more than just an indication that the reference is being made. It also refers to how every Paul is a mirror image of the other, the same man physically, but not spiritually. Dan's Paules are men on two sides of the coin, one captured by conformity (despite trying to break out), the other also joined hedonism to recognize the problem until it is too late. One of the good things for Cuork is how these types of people can share the same space. Similarly, one of the most beautiful things for the cinema is how they can, as in this example, share the same person.
