So what am I going to find if I go back and see those other two films that I found here?

Yeah.

The tourist industry had nothing to do with this movie.

Yeah, there's some intercom stuff in this as well that's very electronic.

I think there's just some really good, just on a plot level, script level, there's some really good characterizing stuff here.

He scatters his mother's ashes very carefully, but he tosses his dad's ashes to the wind.

That is such an economical touch.

Like, he's also... I think he's meant to be a really lousy writer because no good writer is going to tell a bartender the plot of their novel that they just finished.

I don't care how many Irish whiskeys he's had.

The idea is...

That the trauma backstory explains why he is such a jerk.

I don't know.

If that were true, and I think if the movie had some confidence that that were so, we wouldn't have introduced a character who's even worse than he is.

And I feel like the movie does that because it's not sure.

Right?

Yeah.

And we can't talk about how this movie resolves.

But it does resolve in a way that, I mean, this is the danger with, I don't know, ghost stories, horror.

Like, mysteries are always more fun than solutions, you know?

Sure.
