Blog 5: John v. Graham

The reunion of two friends brings the subtle battle of life accomplishments and clashing of personalities. John and Graham, two friends, seemingly brought to a point of elation and joy when united, begin a series of cheap shots followed by strong resistance with one another. It could be said that John, playing the role of the cheap shooter, and Graham, who as a result must play defense with a good offense, aren’t the best of people. We find out in this scene that not only is John kind of a dastardly fellow but Graham is cheating on his wife. This scene sets the mood of the script Sex, Lies, and Videotape.
