But in regards to the this film itself, well I never felt that the characters were adequately made to be cared about in a significant way (I used the term "blank slates" in a previous post) and that the director focused more on evoking "snapshots" of certain feelings and atmosphere through different devices...... Perhaps if they had really made me care about the characters I wouldn't even question that devotion.
Just my opinion.

makes sense. can only have so much character development in 3 episodes
but i guess the other message the director could be giving is that life is short and even small romances (small as in it started small and didn't go all that far) can make a big impact
after considering it a bit more, i guess the director caters to both sides. if you don't think love can last that long, you get to side with the girl. if you do, then you side with the boy.
im sure in the grand scheme of things the two had to separate (given 3 episodes), b/c im sure i'd probably be complaining about the realism/probability if they suddenly got back together in their 20's after a huge gap in their relationship
