I love this scene except for the duvet analogy and misrepresentation as a “comforter”. I think they could have been more clever. It’s stood out since I first watched the film. I wonder if the book is the same. I knew what a duvet was at the time because I’d used them abroad and found them superior to flat sheet/blankets. I also knew fancy Americans who bought awful velvet duvet covers and put comforters in them.
In my head, a good duvet/cover is the most humble, homesteady things you can own and look after. Freshly outdoor aired duvets bring you closer to heaven 🙏
Abundance is suffocating, true, but so is friction and flat sheets are unruly and tyrannical. Duvet maximalism is freedom. A single, sturdy layer that never gets twisted and uneven, never restricts your feet on account of tight tucking. Flat sheets are the liberal horseshit of bedwear. Duvets are the mountain cowboy. Gets the job done, no fussing, no bullshit.
