I’ve wondered about the Cambodian footage (and someone gives a response on the previous page that I thought was interesting) and the temple scene. While the temple wall is unlike a tree, I liked the connotations of the temple—i.e., that the secret almost like a prayer; or something spiritual as if the idea or memory will live on in some way. When the camera moves around the temple and temple grounds, there’s a sense that the memory and love move around the place—a kind of haunting of lost love. (Someone might have suggested this on the other page or somewhere else, so this might not be an original thought.) The fact he goes to a temple in ruins also gives the both the flavor the love was sacred and precious, but also now decrepit or even gone.
Initially, I thought the should have ended with him whispering in the wall and covering it up, with the Monk watching him from above, but I sort of liked the mood of the tracking camera through the halls and courtyard.
