      no one will always be who

      It took two days to read.
      Watching this kind of movie really requires patience. What impressed me more was that the movie where Naoko and Watanabe were walking and talking on the grass wanted to express various women's views on love or various understandings of sex? Watanabe loves Midoriko but doesn't have sex with her. Watanabe doesn't love Reiko but she can have sex with her, so love has nothing to do with sex, right?
      No matter how much you love someone, it will never be as good as...

      To treat "Little Fresh" disease, I only take "Norwegian Forest"

      Don't say I'm always black, in fact, I treat them equally.

      Haruki Murakami has been running with the Oscars for several years. Every time he is selected, he is always pulled by fans to accompany him, which is pitiful. The book "Norwegian Forest", as Haruki Murakami's most unrepresentative work, has also become a masterpiece of Xiaoqing's entry. Even the translator of this book, Teacher Lin Shaohua, has been popular on the Internet because of the argument of straight male cancer....

      Turn on full rant mode

      Even as a person who gave "Very Perfect" three stars, he couldn't go against the wishes of his Haruki Murakami fans, and he had to give one star.
      Does the director know what else to do besides know how to narrate all the storylines like a running account, and use the rest of the space to shoot erotic scenes?
      As soon as you arrive in the suburbs, your eyes are full of green. Are you homesick, director? Combined with the unsatisfactory 1970s style, it is like the MV of Mayday. Where is...

      At first, I thought it was my eyesight, "The director is Chen Yingying". It must be a typo, right? Anyway, I haven't read this book, isn't it written by a Japanese, but a Vietnamese novel?

      The forest in Norway. It's been a while since I've seen these five words -- and they've appeared too many times in all parts of my life. At first, I thought it was invented by Haruki Murakami himself. I went to Norway to see the beautiful mountain scenery, so I wrote a travel note. A little...

      play

      I don't want to say anything about Haruki Murakami, everyone
      has their own opinions.

      Briefly talk about directing and acting.



      Also saw À bout de souffle (Breathless) today,
      one of the first French New Wave films.
      I think that Chen Yingxiong moved to Paris to study at Louis-Lumière, and he
      should also be influenced by this wave.

      In addition to the complicated switching of shots, the
      revolutionary editing techniques,
      whether it...

      The original book is about gene mutation, how to expect the movie to say that the movie did not make the essence of the novel, what is the essence of the original book, 20-year-old Watanabe is getting more and more...

      Go see the original. It's hardly one thing. The director is really embarrassed. But it's still possible not...

      A lot of my favorite places were not made into the movie, such as the well, and Watanabe's roommate who watched the canal masturbate every day doing morning exercises, and Midori didn't mention the bear rolling on the clover grass, And the death of Midori's father, and the homosexuality who took care of Naoko... a lot~ But at least some things that I didn't understand in the book are now understood, such as Naoko's cause and cause of death. It always feels a little bit...

      It seems that the Vietnamese director didn't understand this Japanese novel, so people chose randomly, and the lines and actions were also random. Naoko and Watanabe's intimacy scene was like rape. Do you think about it? ! Except for the beautiful clothes and scenes, everything else is completely weird. How can Luzi pretend to die! I had zero expectations to watch it, but I still wanted to shout:...

      After dragging it for a while, I didn't have any desire to watch it. The heroine was too far from what I had in mind. It would be great if it was Aoi Yu and Miyazaki Aoi. Rinko Kikuchi is the girl who shocked me in the Tower of Babel, people have already exposed it =...

    Behind the scenes gags

    1. The theme song of the film uses "Norwegian Wood" sung by the Beatles. This song has extraordinary significance for both the original novel and the film. The film producer started negotiating with the copyright owner of the song very early, but it was not available until the filming was completed, and the producer Shinji Ogawa even considered using the cover version for a time. Finally, after more than a year of unremitting efforts...

    Square View

    At the beginning, after using a few shots to set up the relationship with Naoko, I directly entered the process of suicide. The exact reproduction of the suicide process in the original brings the audience into an invisible atmosphere of heaviness, hesitation and depression, and in the roar of the car engine, it seems to have entered a fear and confusion with the Watanabes in the film. world.
    Although compared with the smooth...

    Opposition

    As soon as the actor appeared, Rinko Kikuchi; Naoko played by きくちりんこ was a student head of some noodles in clear soup, but the mature eyes, obvious big bags under the eyes and hard facial lines were not the natural and elegant Naoko described by Murakami at all. In the original work, Naoko, who has always been in a psychopathic state, was always quiet and shy, but Naoko, adapted by Anh Hung Tran, became a crazy woman running and...

    Movie quotes

    • Storm Trooper: Mind if I give you a piece of advice?

      Toru Watanabe: Sure.

      Storm Trooper: Don't feel sorry for yourself. Only degenerates feel sorry for themselves.

    • Toru Watanabe: Nothing can heal the loss of a beloved. No truth, no sincerity, no strength, no kindness can heal that sorrow. All we can do is live through the sorrow and learn something from it. But whatever we learn will be of no help in facing the next sorrow that comes along.

    • Naoko: Please remember me forever. Please always remember that I existed and was here by your side. Will you promise?

      Toru Watanabe: I promise I'll always remember.
