Mixed Feelings
For this movie, I'd say it's one of the most silent films I've ever seen (considering that it's not actually a silent film). I had no problem with that, since I actually watched silent films & enjoyed them (A.K.A Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter... and Spring (2003), Bad Guy (2001), 3-Iron (2004)...etc).
However, the story started super vague & a little weird to me.
I was asking myself the whole time: Why is the delivery guy is going to such lengths for someone he just met?
Also, at times, I felt like reaching into the screen and actually fight the other guy because of how many times he actually ignored answering any of the delivery guy's questions. I mean, we had one of the warmest characters (delivery guy) & one of the coldest characters I've ever seen (the other guy) put together in one dynamic.
It all came together at the end with the story revealing itself & we lean about the character's past trauma & how the delivery guy had sympathy for his situation. But, that came AFTER the refugee guy finally decided to speak, so I still couldn't put together why delivery guy was way too cooperative with him from the first minute.
Anyway, the story was good still & I did feel a lot of emotions watching it. If I'd describe these feelings through music, then I'd say that it's a combination of Elgar’s "Cello Concerto in E minor, Op. 85 - I. Adagio" & Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga's "Die With a Smile".
Not to forget, the soundtrack on the movie itself was expressive & melodic.
In all cases, I did enjoy encountering & adding this movie to my completed list.
