I feel like this is a movie about responsibility, with the 3 story lines showing different parts of it. The photographer avoiding it, but later coming across it. The teenager running away from it. And a married man desperately clinging on to it.
I think Edward Yang really likes having characters that do things that may not make sense even to themselves. He had a little bit of this in That Day on the Beach, a lot more in Taipei Story, and even more in Terrorizers. Because of that, it took me a while to figure out what I’d like to say about this movie, which is nice. It means I think about the movie for a bit longer.
