Then, out of curiosity, boredom, who knows what, I left the Old World and I came back to my America. And there a mechanical wonder allowed me to see the sunrise for the first time in 200 years. And what sunrises! Seen as the human eye could never see them. Silver at first, then, as the years progressed, in tones of purple, red and my long-lost blue.
From Sunrise to Tequila Sunrise, Brad Pitt talks about the effect of the movies on a vampire. We watch clips of F.W. Murnau’s Sunrise (1927) & Nosferatu (1922), Alan Crosland’s Don Juan (1926), Victor Fleming’s Gone with the Wind (1939) and Richard Donner’s Superman (1978). The scene ends with Pitt walking out of a movie theatre where Robert Towne’s Tequila Sunrise (1988) is shown.
