Questions...Spoilers

So for everyone that has seen this... (SPOILERS START NOW)

1.) Was the guy who she was seeing and playing around with in the car and hotel the boy from the beginning, which is why the "Ass Hole" scene was put in?

2.) Anyone else think the guy who was on the floor with his guts hanging out a TAD on the unbelievable side? I'm pretty sure you'd go into instant shock if your guts were between your legs.

3.) I didn't really get the whole concept of the movie, was she purchasing this flat with the nice view just because she had told her parents she would? The mom wasn't left, the dad was dead, the grandpa was dead... just her and her brother.

4.) Does the end of the movie imply that America basically did just as much bad as she did? lol

1) I kind of assumed that was him because of the whole *beep* thing but I'm not really sure. That part was unclear to me.

2) Definitely. I mean all the deaths were over the top but that was just too much. It was still entertaining, but it seemed like a joke that just runs on too long -- like, we get it already.

3) I think she just always wanted a nice place of her own? Originally I think she wanted it to make her parents proud, but then her dad started lying to her (about the insurance, his health problems) and she was starting to see how much of a burden he was on her in his old age so she just wanted a place that was just for her (going back to the scene when she was young and her dad told her one day, if she worked hard, she'd have her own room).

4) Haha -- the ending made me just think that she was screwed. Like, she killed all those people to lower the value of the flat so she could afford it, but the housing market was still shot to hell anyway? I think you're on to something too though lol

Good movie overall though. I really enjoyed it.

1)I believe she was seeing that guy as she had hoped someday, if the need areisd, he would help her buy the house but he didn't & after she bought the house, she didn't think she would need him anymore so she dumped him.
Now, it could be 2 things-
a) He was the guy from the beginning & she hoped since he knew her since childhood, he would help her buy the house.
b) He was just a rich fvck whom she just wanted to use to get the house

2)Yes, not to sound like a sadist but it was fun :D

3)Its what I would call desire, its pretty weird how human wants are born, we are after all emotional creatures rather than logical (contrary to what we think & claim). Since childhood she had been fascinated with the house, she thought she needed it for grandpa & her parents but slowly the house became her own personal obsession & desire.

4)There was a subtle irony here. It was that after all that she did, she could have got the house at a much lesser price only if she had waited, of course it was impossible for her to know that things would eventually turn out this way.

The man that she was sleeping around with is not the boy from the beginning. She called him an *beep* because he is. He's cheating on his wife and refused to help her out with her money problem. She's just a psycho who became unhealthily obsessed with the home. Possibly due to her childhood.

Actually, I believe that the cup she set on his roof (same cup she used in the cup phone) was to mean it was him

I don't think it was the same cup. She was just drinking out of that cup while she waited for him to pull up. Then after he said he couldn't find them a hotel room she just put the cup on top of his car and walked away. She didn't need him anymore anyway.

Peace and Love

Just my opinion, but I really do not think he was meant to be the same person as the kid (Jimmy) at the start. It just did not seem like it to me. And nothing in the credits suggests they were the same character.

[–] donco3000 12 years ago

I just watched this and feel that the man was the same person as the boy. Her leaving the same style cup and then saying "a**hole"; which meant "over" to them, ties the film together nicely. People work far too long and hard on films for that to be accidental.

The funny thing is that the real estate market in HK is building up into a huge bubble, has been for the past couple of years. So if she had really bought that flat back in 2007 she could have made another killing re-selling it. But I suppose she wasn't buying it for the investment...

Also I'm pretty sure that the guy she was meeting with during the film was the same as the kid across the road from her childhood. The paper cup was the same model (a common one in HK) and her use of the phrase 'Pok Kai' when she broke up with him echoes the string telephone scene earlier.
