...diagram "Protein Synthesis," your artist showed the nucleic-acid fragment UGA as a "three-letter word" that "codes for one amino acid...
THROUGHOUT the rest of the film. the filmmakers attempt to communicate through fragments their own divided view of Hopper. The most obvious facet they have seized on is Hopper as acid-consciousness-extender and anti-Establishment paragon. Thus, we are given Hopper with two young maidens in a bathtub daring the camera to record the first graphic fellatio in the American cinema; also (somewhat anti-climatically), Hopper walking naked through the streets of.

His name for it: scotophobin, from the Greek words for "darkness" and "fear...
