It might have already been discussed here but did anyone notice how in the last of the three segments Shu Qi's jealous girlfriend jumps of the building as while she is in her room after returning from seeing her other lover?
shareI thought the same thing. She said she would kill herself and there was a bang or thud sound and the coat hanger or something hanging on a line was swaying.
shareI have to look at that scene again. I never noticed it.
shareI noticed those details as well. Shu-Qi's character appears upset (but it seems more proportional to the guilt she must feel after reading the email... not after seeing her friend's body on the pavement). Hou leaves the moment in such a state of ambiguity!! I felt that if the girl had jumped, more sounds of panic or commotion would be heard in the street noise, but it remains at a murmur. Perhaps we will have to find solace in the mystery.
"I'd hate to take a bite out of you. You're a cookie full of arsenic."
