"Me, You, and Everyone we Know" (After the film)

Miranda July's Me, You, and Everyone we Know  is a very interesting film that I think takes interactions seen online and puts them in the real world. In the film, we see people speak to each other in way that I don't think people actually would. This can been seen in the interactions between the two young girls sand the neighbor. Initially,  the neighbor claims that he isn't a pedophile and won't talk dirty to the young girls because he doesn't want them to think that he is. What's odd is that the girls seem to want this strange attention from this guy. As the film progresses, the neighbor tells  them what he would say to them by writing it on pieces of paper taped to the window. Instead of calling the authorities, the girls are almost convinced that they want to have relations with this total stranger. I think that Miranda's character's, Christina, interactions with the shoe salesman, Richard, contrast the interactions between the little boy and the mystery person in the chat room. While Christina is interacting with Richard in the store, they're less open about themselves.
In the conversation between the little boy and the mystery person, the mystery person tells the little boy that they feel like they can trust the little boy with anything without even knowing him. I think it's because we think of ourselves as open books online. We speak our minds to anyone who'll listen and we believe that everyone is listening. Yet, if  it were to happen in person, it would seem like an strange conversation.
