Drive My Car, based on a short story by Haruki Murakami

[Tumbulu]

4. I am still moved and fascinated by it

What do you think the time difference is between when the characters were working on the play in Hiroshima and that last scene ( present day, everyone wearing masks and scar is diminished)? 1 or 2 years or more like a decade?

I am trying to understand the significance of the older car. That has a cassette player still working in it. In the theater the technology allowed for all the translations to be projected above. Do you think that was supposed to be like 2010 ? Making the car at the time 25 years old? I will need to go and look at the other cars on the road scenes to get an idea of what the time frame was, I suppose.

Sorry for being so fascinated with these subtle things, I just feel that it is all very complex and that these points are meant to be part of the story. But I am not sure if I have a full grasp of them.
