adrift in manhattan be a small and lovingly make and melancholy film about the intersect life of various emotionally wounded people in manhattan . a i watch the film though and i felt something be off . then i realize it and the manhattan in this movie be much too quiet . i live in manhattan for year and one of my override memory of it be the constant noise while siren and garbage truck and horn honk and boom box and crazy people yell and etc . yet and in this film manhattan be a quiet and dignified place . if only . i wonder what the film would have be like if it actually have the background noise that so much a part of the city . i think it would have improve the film and make the character loneliness all the more poignant .
