At 87 minutes, the film consists of a montage of uninterrupted dialogue and almost no time jumps, which means that the time in the film is supposed to be the same as the time in real life. But 87 minutes have passed, and the film is from afternoon to midnight. I don't know if it's a bug or intentional, but if it's the latter, it's exactly the same as John's life experience: the inexplicable different speeds of time in different dimensions/people.
Another question to consider, (Greenberg upper body) Why was it made into a movie? This story is made entirely for literature. After the film was made, without diminishing the shock of the content of John's dictation, a few human characters, their representation of the crowd, and relationship conflicts were highlighted, right?
So what does that woman who fell in love with John represent? This movie doesn't need a love story, except when it comes in handy to advance the story, it doesn't make any sense other than to advance the plot and Hollywoodize the story.
