this movie and one of the best i have ever see and talk about incommunicability . it do it plunge ourselves in a livid taipei and stain in cold color and where the rain fall incessantly while a damp world . it do it display u the story of two person live in this world and a man and a woman . a coincidence and or the fate and link their existence and but theyre not able to open one to the other with word . character be the mirror of the difficulty of our society concern interpersonal relationship . an incommunicability that here be take to the extreme limit . all the character exchange only a few word during the movie and dialogue be nearly absent and and when some word be speak theyre often weak and empty and far away from describe people real feeling . so and the progression of the story and the revelation of character feeling be develop ( brilliant idea . ) by the musical digression and only apparently meaningless and that speckle the movie . the proceeding of the sentimental event and and the drama of female protagonist and lead u to a splendid end and heavily symbolic . a movie totally different from the usual and a clever realization by a great talented director . p . forgive me for my bad grammar .
