The "lunch date"
3 March 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Lunch Date is a short film of 10 minutes. It seems like a comedy film, but I find it is not interesting, but I feel that very natural human behavior is depicted. It is shot in a train, and the white woman is the main cast. One day, she misses her train, and goes to a restaurant for killing time until the next train and buys a salad. She leaves table to grab a fork, and after coming back, she finds that a man is eating her salad. She thinks it is weird and says "It's my salad" for several times, but he never stops eating. At last, after leaving the restaurant once, she comes back to the restaurant because she realizes she left her stuff there, and finds out that her whole salad is left at the seat behind the man's and it is misunderstanding of her. It seems that the restaurant staff knows that it is her misunderstanding, but he never tells her. I thought it is very natural human behavior. We might think that "Why does he not tell the truth to her!" as audience, but actual world is very passive like in the film. Also, at the end, she passed by the man asking for help, but she just ignored and still excited for her good fortune. I thought she is better to return the courtesy by helping a man, but it seems like she is not aware of it. I though these human behaviors are sad but quite natural.
