Third Man
Some of these scenes reminded me of scenes in the Third Man.
A man and woman walking away from a funeral.
A man and woman meeting in a diner in a train station.
Good point, esp. since three of the movie's creators are very respected, well-versed screenwriters and/or journalists who could very likely be making an homage to The Third Man (1949). Otherwise, unfortunately, I think there is almost no other good reason for that flat, bogus diner scene to exist in this film.
share...for that flat, bogus diner scene to exist in this film.I felt a bit sorry for Bridget Fonda in this film. Her character isn't in a huge number of scenes and never seems to have the opportunity to develop much, but yes...the scenes she's in, are as you described this one; flat and purely functioning to develop Kevin's character. I really don't blame her for getting up and walking out. share
