Thinking about this a bit more. The visual/audio style call back to a bygone era mostly of the 50s. This would have played nostalgicly in 79. This is juxtaposed over the material which is the state of dating post the sexual revolution. It doesnt impact the 3rd act in any way but it adds a layer to the style of the film thats worth noting.
