Will there be a happy ending if I use lube?

At this time yesterday, I was squatting in the small bathroom of the hotel opposite Fuli Mountain Villa, doing random things on the Internet. The girls outside had already left, and there were only three men who had been talking in a disorderly manner and a bottle of wine.
At 6 o'clock, Bao responded and had dinner; at 8 o'clock, Ledi had dinner; at 10 o'clock, Fu Li Shanzhuang had dinner. It was originally a social event, and the topic of chat was only about tax rebates in the park, company operations, and project cooperation. I don’t know which bottle of wine began to talk about Aojie Bar, people on the road, flames, and Xiaolong people... The situation became impossible. receive.

The Norwegian forest is also one of the topics, and it was only then that Haruki Murakami's book was made into a movie.
I don't remember what year I read this book, but I think it's been at least ten years (at that time, 21 years old felt very far away, and now it is). When I suddenly mentioned it, all I could remember was the scene where Midori took off her clothes in front of her father's portrait. At that time, it was completely unacceptable when I saw it, and my mind was full of thoughts of "What is Jie Nyima? It's too perverted."

Thinking about it again, there is also the impression that Watanabe regrets exchanging sexual partners with Nagasawa: although this one is more beautiful, it is not as interesting as the original one;

and, the unbeautiful girl asked Watanabe if she would like to, I originally thought it was like this In this case, Watanabe will be slapped in the face.

As for what kind of disease Naoko had and why he couldn't have sex, it was completely unclear. In fact, the last name I remember is Midori.

Suddenly I discovered that the fragments that left an impression in those days were all related to sex.

I went to bed at 4 o'clock, woke up at 8 o'clock by the electric blanket and went out to KFC for breakfast. I came back and opened Fengxing just in time to see the update. I watched the whole film intermittently until the evening, and finally found out that the director is Chen Yingying of the taste of green papaya.

The picture of the movie continues the soothing and quiet style of Japanese pure love films: walking alone to class in the noisy crowd, sitting at the table in the rainy weather and eating the dishes made by Mizuki, the sound of rain, and Naoko in the rush. Relying on the vines, the wind swept the hair, and relative to Naoko's friend eating instant noodles...

The details of the set and passers-by A, B, C, and D also inherit the refined and discreet style of the Japanese film, which is in perfect harmony with the aura of the movie: the flags of the parade students, the notice on the dormitory wall, the classmates who rushed to the classroom to make a revolution, the owner of the record store, the green child The classmate who sat on the side laughing after rejecting Watanabe, the fat man who delivered the letter while Watanabe was doing laundry...

But the narrative feels that the expression is too subtle. If you haven't read the book, many parts are hard to understand, like those side lines that highlight the protagonist. The plot seems a bit abrupt (perhaps why I read it several times?).

When it comes to the plot of sex, it is also subtle and lacking in performance. The part of Watanabe changing partners and Naoko's first night is acceptable. When it comes to the passionate meeting in Yamanaka, it gives the director the feeling of covering the heroine's chest with the camera. In the end, when Naoko's patient asked Watanabe to have sex and then went to the bathroom to take a shower and looked in the mirror, it was unreasonable that it still appeared as a quarter-shoulder image, even a half-naked back would be better. Then when she came out of the bathroom in her pajamas, I was desperate...

why not naked, why not naked?

Am I being too horny?

In fact, it can also be expressed implicitly. For example, from the perspective of the relationship between movement and stillness:
the entire film, from the first look on the screen, gives people a feeling of tranquility and soothing, but as long as you take a closer look, you will find that many places are still moving, such as the sea in the dark night. . Like the soothing and quiet scenes mentioned above: a class alone, the road is full of revolutionary leftist youths; while eating the food made by Midori, the sound of rain is gurgling outside the window; when Naoko and Naoko are leaning on the creeping grass, the wind blows the creeping grass like a sea Tao; When eating instant noodles with Naoko's friend relatively silent, the contrast between movement and stillness is even stronger. Although there is only the sound of sucking noodles, there is a dark tide under the picture...

And when it is the turn of the picture to move, it is not completely moved. When it gets up, it gives people the feeling of holding it, as if the words "XX is omitted here with the consent of the author" in the waste capital, and it is deliberately reserved. In fact, no matter how intense the XXOO scene is, when the long shot is pulled, the effect will come out, and it is also our old man's little wish.

As for the rest,
the heroine's illness and the reason why she can't have sex, now I understand it all. The new question is, will there be a happy ending if lube is used?
