to me their relationship just seemed quite superficial it was almost 2 hours of work place chatter between two people who have been slighted in love, but have no actual chemistry between them.  for a movie all about understanding each other on a deeper level and surpassing the barrier of language, nothing actually special was truly discussed and i felt no spark between the two leads i did like the end scene at the movie theatre tho coz somehow by not being able to undertand them, there is hope that maybe something a bit more nuanced then the past 2 hours of dialogue was said. i just really did not see anything special about their relationship man like none of their conversations were so eye opening, it really did js feel like small talk and that they were both js lonely people who had lost their significant others and needed someone to talk to i initially gravitated towards this film coz i usually quite like films with no real plot but instead of having no real plot i felt like it just had no real meaning ive come back to this review after watchig chungking express which was a big inspo for this film and was literallt discussed and i genuinely think this films issue might be that there was too much dialogue😭 i understand they were both lonely people jsut craving human connection but after spedning dayson days on days stuck together and her literallybeing his only gatway into interacting with the world around him and your convos still consist of menial small talk then tis like cmon man its jsut alarmingly obvious this isnt going to work out and is js a result of their loneliness, just completely cutting out anything distinctly romantic about the film
