life itself is a stupid tradition
A streetsweeper, a not-so-great neighborhood, the tracks that I'm guessing we're on the wrong side of. Establishing shots to set us up for... Hm, montage of closeups as Andie Walsh (Molly Ringwald) gets dressed. Outfit seems much fancier than the house or the neighborhood, but the it is the 1980s and consumerism is rampant. Even working class folks need to look good. Of course, Andie claims that she spent $15 on the shoes and made the rest. (No mention of what all those different cloths or patterns might cost. Then, Duckie (Jon Cryer). He dresses like the male version of Andie but he's got an awkwardness to him that seems to turn her off even though they seem to be friends. Oh, it's Pretty in Pink today. And, I'm not in the mood to write. Bad night. i can totally relate to Duckie, though, pathetic guy who likes an unavailable girl a little too much. And, doesn't fit in with much of anyone. Andie's admiration of the rich people's houses...
