What would you like Ang to comment on?

You don’t think that’d really clear up the debate, do you?

Well, I haven't been persuaded to change my mind by the counterarguments of people who disagree with me, I haven't been persuaded by police officers using expert analysis and high-tech equipment ... so I guess there's no reason to be persuaded by the people who were actually there in person, and either said it or didn't say it themselves!
:laugh:

I would like to ask Ang if he feels he might have left things a little to ambiguous... Perhaps if he feels he was a little too reserved in certain scenes? Or does he still view the movie as perfect or his "vision"?
I guess the real question I want to know is, is there any scene(s) he would like to go back and re-do, remove, or insert new? :D In retrospect, what might he have done differently?

Sometimes I wonder if the scarcity of love scenes is entirely a way of illustrating the "never enough time" theme (as we sometimes theorize) or if it was partly a result of Ang being cautious about not offending straight viewers. I don't think he was stifled or cowed by that concern (hence TS1, half an hour into the movie). But did viewers' possible reactions cause him to hold back at all? And if so, in retrospect, seeing that the film stirred controversy but was also widely beloved and acclaimed and unexpectedly successful, would he have been any less restrained?
I'd like to hear him comment on that.

That would be interesting, yes, I have always wondered about this as well. I am not sure if it is only the 'never enough time' theme, I tend to believe it's not. But on the other hand, there are more love scenes in the film than in the book! ;)
