...chest can have that kind of mass cultural impact, the thinking goes, then movies, far from being just passive entertainments, can influence audiences to change their behavior in more significant ways. If a movie can doom undershirts, can't it also end war, poverty, global warming, torture, obesity, junk mail...

...memory...they don’t watch the film and compare and imitate them, it’s just a sort of collective, vague memory that they’re all sharing,” he says. “And then the fact that they recycle all the junk, the location that surrounds them, they recycle themselves in a way, and their friends.” In creating a locally-inspired style that was coherent for the film, Gondry recycled the environs of Passaic, N.J., where the movie takes place. He instructed the cast and crew to use only...
