“Occasionally, he may go to the movies ‘to take the pulse of contemporary American culture so that he can immediately know the kinds of things that American audiences respond to in the here and now’ (Booker and Batchelor 2016, 92)…. [But] Don likes La Notte because it sustains him in two contradictory yet connected ways. On the one hand, it offers refuge from advertising’s repetitive, cliched stories that deny and silence stories like his… Don captivates because his professional success and this personal desire are always at odds. The more slickly proficient he becomes at crafting simple, affirming stories advertising requires, the more the risk of him losing the ability to subvert those narrative conventions as well as maintain contact with the truth of his own story increases… These less acceptable/conventional stories become temporary and unfulfilling substitutes for the story he cannot tell about himself.”

Don Draper and the Enduring Appeal of Antonioni’s La Notte by Emily Hoffman (2019)

#reasons i included the unidentified movie is i dared to hope someone might know what it was#+ knew if i didn't include it i would get dozens of people asking where that one is#anyway these less acceptable/conventional stories become temporary and unfulfilling substitutes for the story he cannot tell about himself<

he grew up dirt poor. his father was an alcoholic. he ran away to join a group that would take him overseas. he changed his name. he became the picture of glamour and style. he tried very hard to blend in with the upper class and obscure signs that he came from absolute poverty. he had multiple failed marriages. he felt like everyone wanted to be [his new name] including himself, feeling like his own name was an image not even he could live up to.

  • Thanksgiving date with Lane
  • David James Elliot's character trying to recruit him, like be real for a second
  • The madam of the NYC brothel trying to direct him to a male prostitute
  • "That's the best I've ever seen that done"
  • Don and Ted at the bar in Detroit (and their whole rivalry)
  • Identifying with the young hustler in the Milk and Honey Route
  • Bob as another iteration of Don
  • Assuming another man's identity when you stop to think about it

thank you!!

i feel like this might have to be a series rather than a single gifset because most of these moments and others are hard to capture in a gif or two per scene.

#+ don and sal in the pilot#don's advice to sal in out of town which is very much his personal philosophy#being weirdly flirty with arnold rosen in the s6 premiere#+ that guy with the lighter#'he says that lee garner jr was in love with you. that you always had to be at the meetings so he could think about jerking you off'#the implications of bob benson being his doppelganger#whose interactions with pete were sometimes direct parallels to don with roger#much to consider
