I had no idea what I'm going to watch, but as the story unfolds, it immediately reminded me of the Great Classical Movie Il Sorpasso 1962. And I loved the art director creativity and how the apartment they are living in had Il Sorpasso Film Poster + An iconic photograph of the classical movie stars (Vittorio Gassman & Jean-Louis Trintignant driving their car).
Spoiler Alert: While, in Il Sorpasso the shy guy dies while the extrovert guy lives. I knew immediately that at the end of this movie the shy guy Ludovico will die. And exactly as I thought that what happened! Moreover, the writing and directing were just wow, (we never saw that Jack (The Extrovert Character) got shot with a bullet too until the very end and he dies too! & Oh Man! His death scene was so dramatic and emotional! Near the 'garbage can' he hid behind at the beginning of the movie, & the garbage can that he was supposed to hid inside till the garbage car comes and drives him to Brazil! Also, in the final frame we see the gift Ludovico gave him and it says "To my big brother Jack who gave me my life back. Sadly the opposite is the truth as he caused him to lose his life at the end.
One amazing directing aspect is: At the end of the shooting scene, we see the iconic photograph of Il Sorpasso movie stars (Vittorio Gassman & Jean-Louis Trintignant driving their car. But now there is a bullet in Jean-Louis Trintignant eye who was the shy guy in that movie. So this creatively tells us that the coming scene you will see will be the shy guy in this movie is dead too!
I loved the similarities and the differences too between the two movies! Well Done to the whole crew!
