Don't catch people, don't move, don't understand

Basically I don't understand it, maybe the translation is not good, maybe I'm not paying enough attention. In short, this is not the kind of movie that can hold me tightly.

1. Benino's love for Alicia doesn't move me. He fell in love with Alicia; Alicia was in a vegetative state in a car accident; he happened to be her nurse, and it became his job to take care of Alicia he had a crush on, and Alicia's body was so attractive. This kid finally made Alicia pregnant, which can only be said to be a kind of abnormal love. You can't say what's so great about this kid.

2. I don't quite understand the friendship between Mark and Benino. It was Benino's infatuation with Alicia, and the "Tell her" that he knew he couldn't do moved Mark? There seems to be something more than friendship between the two men.

3. Why is Mark so sentimental? What's the story between him and his ex-wife? I didn't get it, probably because of inattention.

4. The music is really beautiful, but it seems to be a little too much, a bit deliberately creating a feeling of sadness. Generally speaking, it is quite sincere, not the kind of coercion of Wong Kar Wai.

5. It's better to see this kind of unrequited love or Zweig's novels.

    Begins with a mime, ends with a mime. Sleepwalking, a trip to rehab, two tearful farewell letters, a shrunk lover, a woman (man) waiting by the window, a non-existent "Nomas" (nomas / no mas, a pretty subtle mistake?). In the opening mime, even if the man moves the table and chairs, the woman will still hit the wall (of course it can be reversed, or pun on the matador). The parallel structure of "leaving-return" x "escape-return" and returning to the "maternal body" in the closed loop of mime reality. When the eyes of men are full of tears, there are no pearls in the eyes of women. Ugh... snake-like fears and desires, the waterside where men and women walk in the final mime. Doesn't it meander like a snake? So divisive, the man's narrative, cooing like doves. Sad and intense. Talk to her to cover and listen to her. Always sigh and pray for those who leave. Borrow Mark's sofa, smoke, and his overly sad tear ducts to get through this dry early winter night.

    In fact, I prefer movies that are closer to real life like Floating Flowers. But this one is beautifully shot
