Blue angel- Swenson's time alone

During class we reached the point of Swenson leaving his home and old literature to go out into town and visits a video store. Swenson in his loneliness look for ways to use up his time and feels as if this would be a great way to do so. As he enters the store he moves past the many sections the store has to offer and into the classics section. He there finds blue angel and debates taking it out, but puts it down for the meanwhile. It's a powerful scene, knowing what we know now after watching the original "Blue Angel movie in class". Drastic in its comparisons, the movie and Swensons life shares striking similarities...
