a little detail

The protagonist ordered a song "ゴンドラの賢" that everyone thought was a love song, but he sang the desolate taste of the short life. When the music played, we were like the people in the picture, looking for the sound and looking at Watanabe. The people in the picture stopped and listened, but outside we saw his tears. They listened to the song, surprised, guessed. And we know that he has stomach cancer and will die soon. The chill in my heart was a little more. Just as the lyrics say "no one knows tomorrow, how short life is", Watanabe in the film understands the true meaning of life when faced with life and death. Outside of the film, we sighed while continuing to live our current life. Maybe life has more expectations, but when will we understand what it means to be alive.

    The first half of C+/ did not obscure the aging with the veil of pleasure, but opened up the reality of the gap between time in a playful way. Several mirrors are impressive. In the second half, there is a sense of deliberateness like sitting on pins and needles. The characters appear on the stage like a revolving lantern, but they don't have the effect of Rashomon. Several zero-sound design is like a miracle. BTW said that giving this film a low score is just pretending to not understand the movie, but it is also a lot of drama.
