      Xing Dingxun's Call for Love at the Center of the World (2004) has received mixed reviews to this day. She has a distinct stamp of the times, "Sony" Walkman, recording mood diary on tape, which only happened in the 1980s and 1990s. The advent of CDs and even digital technology quickly replaced it. The film is based on Katayama Kyoichi's novel of the same name. Because Xue Dingxun has been Iwai Shunji's assistant, this...

      At the age of 16, the love between Sakutaro and Aki was too simple.

      This is a love movie that makes people feel breathless and choked, both happy and sad. In the 1980s when the tape recorder was invented, the story is set on the campus of Kagoshima. Sakutaro and Aki fell in love, but Aki Sickness tormented and died.

      It is narrated in a forward flashback mode. The film was released in 2004. The original novel was adapted. The flashback plot is full of Japan in the 1980s.

      Aki likes to go to the place where Sakutaro passes by alone, sit on the stone...

      Have you used your Walkman to communicate with your loved one?

      Speaking of youth films, it seems that Japanese youth films are always filled with a faint repressed sadness. A stark contrast to the anime.

      Years ago, when I was still in elementary school, that group of middle school students had already started puppy love.

      Under the sunset in the township, the slope was irradiated with warm light. The teenager was riding an electric motorcycle, with tanned skin and stubborn and ignorant eyes. The white shirt was carried by a gust of wind, and...

      A touch of sadness

      Compared with the TV series, the film version of the same year is more literary. The 130-minute length of the movie version is still a bit rushed compared to the nearly 500-minute plot of the 11-episode TV series. The happy memories are not accumulated enough, and the sad plots are not accumulated enough. It should be said that compared with the heartache of the drama version, it is a kind of faint sadness! ! ! But when the same scene, when Sakumo brought out the marriage registration form...

    Positive review

    Most Japanese pure love movies are accustomed to using a lot of flashbacks and long shots, showing the long process of love in human life, the outstanding performance of the film in details, and the use of diverse methods to show it. The director of "Calling for Love in the Center of the World" used a retrospective approach to express the whole story. The actor Sakutaro returned to his hometown in order to find his missing fiancee...
