After using a handheld camera to shoot the Gores at their Tennessee farm and a North Carolina beach house, Jonze came up with a deftly cut montage of Gore kicking back and having fun. He makes Tipper blush by showing off the nude self-portrait she painted when pregnant with Karenna. He offers the obligatory deadpan take on his own stiffness (Tipper going barefoot "completely messes up my image") and sings a song from 1969 in praise of her ("I don't have...
