The director and screenwriter are the ones who shot the sunrise and sunset, and there is also a dialogue between Ethan and Julie. I plan to watch it again and analyze the dialogues of the characters in it. The most impressive thing is that the protagonist dreams of watching a movie about two people talking about a movie in the cinema (hehe). One of them said that the first thing to watch when making a movie in Hollywood is If you have a good script, you can make a movie based on a good script, but a movie is an art of images. As a script with words as a carrier, it limits the story itself, so you only need people and a story camera to make a movie. That’s enough! Generally speaking, this is what I mean, and I think it makes sense. Many of the opinions in it are expressed by the protagonist through everyone he meets when he is half asleep, and he himself admits that those people are just incarnations of himself. And then this person keeps moving through time and space, and I like the feeling.

Man on TV: A single ego is an absurdly narrow vantage from which to view this experience. And where most consider their individual relationship to the universe, I contemplate relationships of my various selves to one another.

Kim Krizan: Creation seems to come out of imperfection. It seems to come out of a striving and a frustration and this is where I think language came from. I mean, it came from our desire to transcend our isolation and have some sort of connection with one another. And it had to be easy when it was just simple survival. Like you know, "water." We came up with a sound for that. Or saber tooth tiger right behind you. We came up with a sound for that. But when it gets really interesting I think is when we use that same system of symbols to communicate all the abstract and intangible things that we're experiencing. What is like... frustration? Or what is anger or love? When I say love, the sound comes out of my mouth and it hits the other person's ear, travels through this byzantine conduit in their brain through their memories of love or lack of love, and they register what I'm saying and they say yes, they understand. But how do I know they understand? Because words are inert. They're just symbols. They're dead, you know? And so much of our experience is intangible. So much of what we perceive cannot be expressed. It's unspeakable. And yet you know, when we communicate with one another and we feel that we have connected and we think that we're understood I think we have a feeling of almost spiritual communion. And that feeling might be transient, but I think it's what we live for.
