Me and You and Everyone We Know

In short, this film is about the awkward moments, from tense silence to sheepish eye contact, that accompany the beginning of every burgeoning relationship.

Whether said explicitly, found online, or simply implied, the sexual frustration and curiosity featured in all of the relationships leads to the theme of communication playing a large role in the film. Christine hinging on the phone call from Richard, the co-worker being unable to face the teenage girls, and the museum curator are all examples of how people hide behind artificial walls while "living" a superficial life on the outside. While it would be convenient for everyone to just come out and say what they feel, that is rarely the case. Instead we are most often left to decipher ones guided actions and forced to make judgments based on them. Christine for example seems genuinely hurt after Richard kicks her out of the car. This despite the fact that they had just met and she invited herself in. Does this mean that Richard has no feelings for Christine? No, it simply means that the guy didn't want some lady he just met hopping in his car and driving with him. On The amateur videos that Christine creates there seems to be this perfect world where there are no reservations, people feel and they act as so. You have to believe that Christine was hoping for this world when she got in the car. For Richard to understand her personality and they start the long path of love and growing old together. It doesn't go quite this way, but all relationships start somewhere.

Sometimes it's an emoticon, sometimes it's a picture, and sometimes it words, all this goes to show is that there are numerous ways to communicate and express your feelings and at its core, that's what is believe the film is about.
