Loved this film so darn much. This moment you pick out where Nora tells Arthur about Hae Jun is so stunning, because she (sort of callously) shares this very intimate feeling with a seeming stranger, and her partner totally accepts it all. Another reaction I read also values the forever-feeling of Nora's interactions with Hae Jun (a la Before Sunrise), and all of that set against the immigrant story is just...akh....Love what you say about the decisions our baby-selves make too. Whew. Of course Barbie cannot hold a candle. I have yet to see it, did see Oppenheimer though--so outer, so much about the destructive power of ego; Past Lives is the perfect counterbalance to all that. Thank you, J. :)
