just the very f--kin' way they lit the parents. in that very first scene. (sorry...SECOND scene, after the horrible, horrible "documentary" footage) - lit them like they were as old as time itself and HAVE ALWAYS been so old. And Winona... the little nymph - lit like a CK ad. And Ethan Hawke really doesn't approve of BMWs. because...Africa n stuff.

Oh lord save me. I'd rather watch the just-released "War Room", and that's NOT A JOKE.

What's funny is that that BMW wasn't in that good of condition. The paint was peeling, some rust was forming, the passenger mirror was missing. A car like that probably had mechanical problems, too, like a worn to shreds suspension. It doesn't matter how nice a nameplate is on your car, it will deteriorate from wear.
