The heroine has a big problem:
Rinko Kikuchi, her face and age are too big. . . She did perform Naoko's struggle and pain, but that kind of water-like gentleness and moonlight-like presence could not be brought out without the innate conditions of body and temperament.
Midoriko, being pretty is right, but the rhythm is totally wrong. Midori's impetuous, carefree, and straight-forward aura was gone, in exchange for a girl who was pretending to be a mother, forcing herself to look like a fashionable young woman, her speech and body too pretentious.
Supporting characters:
Both Muyue and Yongze have chosen the right person.
Reiko is a failure, her sense of vicissitudes and ability are gone, and most of her plots have been cut, so there is no room to play, only a skilled aunt is left, so that the sex with Watanabe that would have been natural in the end seemed inexplicable in the movie abruptly.
Story: The
plot is too messy, the series is too blunt, and the editing is also a failure. While watching the movie, I always felt that the camera suddenly jumped away abruptly, which is very similar to the domestic film in the 1980s.
Video:
The most successful part of the film, the sense of the times is very prominent.
Feeling:
There is a subtropical dampness in the film, and the protagonist is often messed up with the green in the big winds. The calmness and sadness that Murakami has always been blown away. . .
In fact, Japanese movies have always had good adaptations. Recently, there are "Gravity Clown" in 2009 and "Confession" in 10 years, but these original works have very distinct stories for the director to tell. But Murakami's fame is not a story, but the so-called "Murakami", which relies more on consciousness and feeling, and it is indeed a test of kung fu to transform it into a representation. The more abstract something is, the more different understandings and imaginations there will be in everyone's mind. "Norwegian Wood" is doomed to risk when it is handed over to a director who spans eras, regions, and cultural backgrounds.
