In the simultaneously creepy yet beautiful film Let Me In, with Chloe Moretz and Kodi Smit-McPhee, there are a number of instances of metaphorical subtext which play out via reflections in reflective surfaces and song lyrics playing on a radio which synchronize with action on screen.
Specifically, there are three instances of secondary storytelling occurring in reflective surfaces. With regard to songs playing on a radio, there is one line from one song, and four lines from another song which happen to give supplemental information to the exact shot each lyric is timed with. These are hardly noticed upon the first or second viewing, but begin to become evident through repeated viewings.
It is an excellent film, not just for the above reasons, but also because of the beautiful soundtrack, wonderful acting, and intriguing story.

That's it, but Paul Harvey's "The Rest of the Story" broadcast made me smile at the time.

Days of Being Wild is considered to be the first film made by Wong Kar-Wai that established that indescribable and delicious style of filmmaking that found its way into his subsequent works, such as Chungking Express, Fallen Angels, In the Mood for Love and 2046.
