"It's the sense of touch. In any real city, you walk, you know? You brush past people, people bump into you. In L.A., nobody touches you. We're always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we can feel something." It is the genuine sixth sense that Detective Graham Waters is trying to portray when he compares our use of the human emotion to our mind-frame of driving in a car. There is an obvious distinction between the natural sense of touch and the emotional touch; the brushing up or running into of another's individual substance which is the very heart and center of their being. And sometimes with the safety of all that "metal and glass", we forget what's outside the frame of our car or the bubble of our comfort zone. That is why, as one of this films tag lines suggests, that we are running at the speed of life. Therefor, we are just bound to come running drastically into each other.
I truly appreciate the tag line suggesting as follows: "You think you know who you are. You have no idea." Why is this true? Because we haven't jumped out of our bubble. We don't take a look in the outside world while stating "You know, just maybe there's a piece of me out there somewhere!?" And that piece you're looking for could be sitting right in your own backyard at any given moment. For Officer Ryan, he didn't realize what was truly inside himself until he ran into Cameron's wife the second time. As the signified by the camera's look on that scene, Ryan wasn't just looking at the inside for once but at a grand-view of the world around him and what part he was supposed to hold in that world. And despite our differences, we need each other to achieve that recognition within ourselves. Without each other we cannot attain the use of that sixth sense; the complete substance, the very center, and absolute heart of our entire being. We lack a sufficing word of expressing emotion...
