the ending


i could have done without watching the guy ride on the cycle for 30 minutes...sheesh!
just 30 seconds of it and the message would've been the same.

I like to watch people ride motorcycles and bicycles. There is something indescribeably attractive about it. Good films about bicyclists and motorcyclists are Cyclo and Beijing Bicycle.

I think it was an extremely impressive scene. This long alienating shots are somewhat related to Bertolt Brecht's alienating theater, I believe. But I think the length of the long shot is also very stylistic and it gives time for the viewer to think, to associate the things with one's own life. To me it relayed an emotion of a possibility to get away which seems desolate for the characters. I really liked this movie, too bad it's this overlooked.
