They present opposing arguments in the same universe. With Pretty In Pink, you get to chase desire outside of your socioeconomic class. But SKOW says: Stay with your class; all you need is right in front of you. (I think Duckie got together with Andie in the original ending of Pretty In Pink).
You’re right. It’s weird: I was far too enamored with Molly Ringwald at the time to notice much. Plus, the ending’s slathered with “If You Leave.” But now, it’s so obvious that she and Andrew McCarthy’s character have no chemistry and nothing to talk about. They’re inert.
