Blue Angel

Something about this scene that has caught my attention was that Swenson tried to act like he isn’t really affected by the fact his wife left him. He tries making dinner for himself and fails multiple times. He then says that frozen food is fine as well, and that he and Sherrie should have done it before. They would have been eating “exotic charm of the freezer” instead of “middle class gourmet”. His daughter also called to tell Swenson that she isn’t coming for Christmas, and he makes fun of them saying “They can have their own private battered women’s shelter.” He seems to be deflecting the situation.
