Rollergirl and she snort truckloads of coke and end up calling each other mother and daughter. It's a delirious and perverted mismatching of loves and feelings, trying to grapple with the ensuing future that they can't even conceive is upon them. Dirk Diggler is no different. He's shut out of the porno industry after an argument with Jack Horner. Here are the days of their lives.
People come full circle with their work and the meaning they invest in their existence.
As all these characters meet with misfortune and sad events, the whole movie goes into a montage of scenes shot only at night, before a final surfacing into the daylight to conclude the film. When Amber Waves shoots a documentary about Dirk Diggler, he says of the 1980s, that he doesn't fear the future. But whether he fears it or not doesn't matter. It will consume him and his euphoria all the same, and twist him into grotesque shapes he cannot even think of. Sometimes blindness to the fear of the future is all people have, and it's as good as they can get.
