but it seems like there was some kind of resolution at the end, no?

---

... I don't know. All that talk in front of the camera and Violet crying and the girls' attitude while they were walking towards the hotel room... say that maybe they saw their life in its true light. But then the camera seems to have been put aside and when he picks them up from the hotel they don't talk anymore, it's just a heavy silence in that car, and Violet gives John his 'share' for the drive, and it's just... like the poster says 'life could be different tomorrow. Or maybe not.'

P.S. forgot to say I Like it / even without translation /

Oh, I didn't know that about that poster, that certainly adds some insight to it. I guess, for me it is that there could be resolution in the sense that there is some kind of transformation within the characters...maybe things don't change for them but there is as you say the sight of their lives in its true light. Of course that doesn't necessarily mean it's happy, lol. Or maybe resolution isn't really the right word? I don't know...it definitely had an intimate feeling in that you could sense that these three people were all traumatized in some way and were coming to grips with it. Plus, the end credits (which weren't technically part of the story) had a light hearted feel to them. Gosh all this speculation and discussion is really making me want to see it even more!

Hello Luca? I will settle for the bathroom scene.

and Keanu singing? I almost fell off my chair!

@Softie, Thanks for the overview/opinion. I will have to order this from the thailand site asap.

I will settle for the bathroom scene. When were ya gonna tell me about that?

---

I mentioned that one in my post, but like I said it's not sexy at all. It's rather uncomfortable and seedy, it made me turn away (unlike the scene in Feeling Minnesota). Just warning you. The singing was cute, he was really flat and off key.

Off topic, I've discovered that I really enjoy watching Keanu with cats. It's so cute how he holds the one in this movie like a baby. Then of course Duck in Constantine...

And the cat scene is nothing really, he just picks up his cat to bring it to it's food dish and it runs away (there are some screencaps at that site you posted). It's just cute how he holds it, just like Constantine. Also, I feel like he has cat energy, kind of detached and hard to pin down, is only around when they want to be, can never quite tell what they are thinking lol. So it's an interesting interaction to me... if that makes any sense.

I think cats are KR's spirit animal ;)

yeah, there is a black cat in this film as well :) John shares his apartment with a roommate and a cat :)



also, John Wall ???
... I love it :D

And for something completely different, did anyone else feel like slapping the guy who dubbed Keanu? He spoke with such a slow drawl, syllables so drawn out, it really irritated me. Can't wait til I can get my hands on an original language copy.

lets not get all judgmental on what's hot ok? hot is in the eye of the beholder.

---

Sorry, but I don't think Luca was getting judgmental on what is hot or not. He is just saying (as I was also) that the movie is not presenting this sexual encounter as something sexy. It is what it is, a quick blow job in a dirty bathroom by a drunk prostitute. Now if someone finds that hot, cool, but the point is that the characters are not shown as enjoying this as an emotionally satisfying encounter within the story. (She burps in his face after she is done, to give you a better idea)

Yes Joke!!! I was so annoyed at him! I'm like, why is he putting on this dopey sounding voice? Clearly, John is subdued and morose, but come on. Poor and lazy choice on the actor's part.

---

hot is in the eye of the beholder.

---

that's why I wrote 'settle for it if you want but I can't see anything hot about it'

to each one's own, as always.

---

but why is John Wall a special name ?

---

It probably isn't.
But I saw the caps and could read the name better and thought what if it's a pun as in John the most common and plain English and American name but also 'john' in slang means a prostitute's client and Henry Miller's 'John Thursday' and 'Wall' as in, well. 'The Wall' ;)

Perhaps I think too much ;)

---

we made the stretch to find the FM scene hot and there's no hearts and flowers there for sure.

---

We? No 'we' here, Arya. I didn't have to do any stretching, as Jjaks and Freddie were shown to be having fun and enjoying themselves at that moment by the pool. It was presented as mischievous, this was not from what I could see.

---

in some cultures a belch after a meal is a compliment. just sayin... :)

---

Lol sure! But I found that gross and ugly in that context. But as Luca said, to each one's own.:) Have you watched it yet, Arya?
