"Day" is a set of films that are completely driven by dialogue. The most striking example of similar techniques to me may not be the example of movies. "Waiting for Godo" and "The Confusion of Orianna" are both in fixed scenes, and the two actors constantly exchange dialogue to create tension. The tension of "Day" is of course very different from the above-mentioned two sets of theater works. It does not intend to express absurdity, nor does it call the audience to take a stand. In a sense, "Day" is very similar to "Lost in Translation", both of which make the audience look forward to the occurrence of love and enjoy the regret of the fragrant teeth, but the two sets of films have the difference of life and death.
At the heart of both films is the untouchable and ultimate escape of love, but expressed in opposite structures. If the final message of "Miscellaneous" is that the male and female protagonists are always half a step apart before they can touch and find love, the premise of "Day" is to "miss" and "slip away". In "Sun", the two spent 14 hours of wonderful time together in Vienna nine years ago. They didn't write down any contact methods, but they reunited in the same place after half a year without thinking. Of course, this fantastic plan did not come true, and both of them had to rely on the memory of those fourteen hours to continue their lives. But it was the unfulfilled promise that the hero and heroine could retrospectively endow those fourteen hours with the highest concentration of passion and meaning in life. To put it more vulgarly, it made the two protagonists, the hero and the heroine, start their lives with numbness and detachment from the remorse they once had.
"Sun" and "Mission" seem to force us to admit that love cannot be approached - not only because we may always be only 0.01 centimeters away, but also because when we find that we have ever been close, we It has slipped away, and the depression and loss triggered by the fire makes people go farther and farther.
***
The ending of "Day" is that after the male protagonist listens to the song composed by the female protagonist, it doesn't matter if he can't catch a plane in time. After reading some comments, the ones I can't see the most are those who are all guessing "Which two people will really fall in love in the end?" From the scenes in the movie, the female characters are obviously much more charming than in the first episode, What's more evocative than leaving the answers to those questions blank? Omg.
