The Double Quotes

  • Simon: I have all these things that I want to say to her, like... Like how I can tell she's a lonely person, even if other people can't. Cause I know what it feels like to be lost and lonely and invisible.

  • Simon: I don't know how to be myself. It's like I'm permanently outside myself. Like, like you could push your hands straight through me if you wanted to. And I can see the type of man I want to be versus the type of man I actually am and I know that I'm doing it but I'm incapable of what needs to be done. I'm like Pinocchio, a wooden boy. Not a real boy. And it kills me.

  • James: You can't be doing anything gay. No ice-cream cones.

    Simon: I like ice cream.

    James: Of course. It's delicious. Ice cream is fine in a cup, but in a cone is gay unless you're with a woman at the time.

    Simon: Anything else?

    James: No riding on a motorcycle with another man. Exceptions are drive-by shootings, bomb throwings and purse snatchings. Anything else is gay.

    James: Defense wins championships.

    Simon: How reliable is the system?

    The film has no day scenes, no natural light, and almost no location. From images to narratives, music, and performances, the style is extremely strange. But the mood and atmosphere of gloom, depression, horror, loneliness, despair, sadness, and humor are just right to blend with the atmosphere. The translation of the title is a bit misleading. Although the content is about self-recognition and integration, it is not a "personality split" in the true sense. In the first half, I felt blocking my eyes and chest, almost abandoning the drama, but in the second half I actually cried.
