the use of silence and conversation fill with silence be one of the strong aspect of this surprisingly mature and interesting film . this dramatic triad have as much problem face feeling a it do want and desire . a the mask come off and we learn just how fragile and mess up each one be and and how difficult it be for all three of them to reach out and communicate . understatement and silence and powerful part of this movie and and it all have a very asian feeling and even if their dilemma be acculturate and familiar to non asian american . though the son who get stick with the family business out of obligation and something like filial piety and strike me a very asian . the film also manage to convey a significant existential quality to the main character that be very nuanced and require contemplation .
