What's really going on
What looks like a man excited about a gadget is really the start of an obsession that will consume him. Bob points the camera at everything, and the footage becomes more important than the people in it. Even the apartment turns into a set: his wife objects, and he answers with a camera in her face and the words "Home movies," as if naming the thing made it innocent. The earlier scene at the party shows the same instinct, where he films women and murmurs, "Where have you been all my life?" The camera lets him watch without being seen, and that distance is exactly what he wants. It is a small domestic moment, but the film treats it as the beginning of the end.
Theme
Where have you been all my life?A flattering line aimed at a woman he has just met on camera: charm used as a way of getting access.
It's him, or it's me.A blunt ultimatum to a colleague: choose between the rival and me, delivered without room for compromise.
We are light years ahead of everybody!His boast about the video camera: one step of technology feels like an entire era of advantage.
It's like the Polaroid of home movies.A comparison that captures his excitement: instant images, no waiting, the whole appeal in one phrase.
We're gonna have to burn this tape.A joke about footage too dangerous to keep, hinting that the camera is already recording things that should not be seen.
Hey, I do my best work in front of the camera.A cocky line that doubles as a warning: he is happiest when he is being watched.
