It's so interesting how two unrelated conversations (the trainer and his friend, the writer and his editor) flavor each other and overlap in small ways due to their shared themes. Placing two things beside each other in a story gives them a unique context relative to each other-- you often see two conversations overlap in movies, but they often jump cut between them or use some other trick to make it clear they're only thematically side by side, while diagetically separated. In this chapter's scene, the conversations are literally side by side, and even borrow ideas from each other (e.g. "ladykiller"), but it's still clear that they're separate conversations.
Such a trick is impressive, but it leaves me wondering if Yamashita is just showing off her compositional skills for their own sake, or if the structure of these scenes are leading up to a payoff later. It's clear to me that the narrative is leading somewhere, but I'm wondering if the very deliberate shape/structure of the scenes will also have its own payoff.
Looking forward to seeing the next one 🙏 Thanks for your hard work
