script:
EXT. COUNTRY ROAD - SUNSET - 1955
Crane over little Jack walking home over artificial cobblestones and a setting sun.
This storybook type setting looks a lot like the sets from Todd Haynes' Poison.
Both idealized bucolic settings are used to denote memories from childhood. However they are used ironically since Jack's childhood is hardly "the happiest time in life," and the character from Poison is recalling his childhood years spent in a prison-like reform school.
Other similarities to Poison include the use of the line, "the whole stinkin' world" and the use of masks.
