But it felt so pointless? Slowly I am feeling that I understand the point of the story, but I'm still unsure whether I like it... I really want to see more of his movies if it just were not this fear of landing one of those misses. Maybe it really depends on my mood for watching those things too. The ending was beautiful!

But then I saw it again during this little HHH-programme in a Munich cinema and actually thought it stupidly over-conceptualized and tedious. Hit/Miss indeed! xD) (I should probably add, that I was actually pretty fond of “Good Men Good Women” when I saw it first – even with the absolutely ridiculous subtitles.

LOL. i heard that HHH's version is basically a mellowed-out and slightly more dramatized long-version of the film, with the balloon being less of a "main character" and more like an occasional "mood-thing" inbetween. haha. for me with HHH, it has been one great upsetting "miss" which was "Good Men, Good Women", and the rest were pretty consistent "hits". (intensely recommended: "The Puppet Master", "The Boys from Fengkuei" and "A Summer at Grandpa's") heh, I thought the greatest part of the movie was the ending, when he took off with the bunch of balloons :) I think I would have been pretty stunned by that as a kid, because, well, it actually looks pretty real when the film shows it?
