What amazes me the most is that while the lead actors are either vitriolic or neurotic, the rest of the picture is still fascinating.

"What is she ordering from the waiter? Her teeth are so white when she smiles. Did he stare at her so intently when he was just in love with the girl he liked? Is he just like wa and old enough to be the other's father? The character's girl is in love? Where did she learn to smoke? Is there a lot of men lighting cigarettes for her, she is so elegant even in the back, he bought two cigars at the bar and who is the other for? He sees It's so peaceful" The

story is really happening, and people who are so absurd and neurotic about hopelessly literary and artistic really exist. I started to jump out of focusing on the protagonist's story and instead project a sense of substitution, and the story is really happening.
