This episode focuses on Jacques Becker's "Le Trou (The Hole)". (00:01:01) We try a new segment where Walter shares the most pretentious film he watched since the last episode. In this episode, Walter talks about "Mr. Thank You (有りがたうさん, Arigatō-san)" directed by Hiroshi Shimizu. Walter feels that this film shows how bus trips can look existential and also talks about his experience with the amount of greetings people give in USA compared to Hong Kong. (00:17:07) Swade and Walter discuss how different "Le Trou" develops its characters because despite little to no background, the film manages to give the characters personality. (00:35:14) Walter tries to explain why the tedious nature of "Le Trou" is interesting but Swade thinks it prevents him from liking the film. (00:59:23) Walter believes the way objects are filmed in "Le Trou" is parallel to a pessimistic look at humans working in a group. (01:19:40) And Fake Film Fans as hit a few milestones with 1,000 total plays!
