This is a movie about youth, love and growth. Watanabe, Kiyuki and Naoko is a good friend, Naoko and Muyue are childhood sweetheart lovers, maybe because the childhood sweetheart is too long, Naoko's love for Muyue has more family elements, so she can't always have sex with Muyue, and Muyue So suicide, now it seems that I just want to say that high school students are too hypocritical! I can't see this thing, maybe we were a little hypocritical and didn't know it at the time. Watanabe came to Tokyo to go to university, and met Naoko, the two fell in love, Naoko had feelings for Watanabe, and had sex smoothly, which made Naoko feel panic and guilt, she still could not forget about Kiyuki, so she Thinking that her body and mind betrayed Muyue, she was tortured by this emotion and entered a mental hospital on the mountain. After Watanabe learned the truth, he often visited her, hoping to help her get out of the shadow of Muyue's death. Side also met the lively and bold beautiful girl Midori, and had an ambiguous affection for her. In the end, Watanabe did not help Naoko out of the shadows. After Naoko committed suicide, Watanabe was grieved, but decided to live.
When the director described the relationship between Watanabe and Naoko, he used a fresh and beautiful style. Whether it was hiking or walking together, there was no point in making love; every time the camera switched from real life to the mountain where the mental hospital was located, he used the scene after the rain on the mountain. A series of images such as fallen leaves and spider silk in the grass are used as transitions. The scene of the two field battles also goes from under the tree to the grass, from the river to the snow. Sex is only a way of expressing love for them, and there is nothing special about it. Meaning, all kinds of things always make people envious of such simple feelings. On the contrary, the relationship between Watanabe and Ryoko is much more realistic. This kind of relationship is integrated in the life of the diaosi who Watanabe works as a brick-worker, and in the delicious food cooked by Ryoko, the most interesting in the whole film. There is nothing more than a scene where two people are flirting with each other in an audio shop. With the accompaniment of jazz music, the camera is constantly switching between their faces, as if two strangers in a bar are dancing with each other, testing each other, and expressing the ambiguous atmosphere. To the fullest. But at this time, Watanabe is still in love with Naoko.
However, Naoko did not get out of the shadow of Muyue in the end, and was left in a youth full of pain, while Watanabe, in grief, decided to say goodbye to the past and live a good life with Midori. At the end of the movie, Reiko came to find Watanabe Qianli made an appointment and revealed the reason why she went to the mountain: she lost her enthusiasm for life seven years ago, but it was the down-to-earth Watanabe who had sex with her, which made her regain her confidence in this life and went to Asahikawa. Talking about a love. As Watanabe said at the end: Kiyuki stopped at seventeen, Naoko at twenty-one, where am I? In fact, we all know that when he called Luzi, he already had the answer. He was 21 years old, and he was going to be 22, 30, 40 years old...
There are in the movie A lot of narration, which cannot be explained by bridges and lines, is the failure of the script. In addition, the whole film story is simple, and the scenes and shots are slow, even a little procrastinating. The whole movie uses a fresh picture style, but the scenes of Naoko and Watanabe on the mountain have no plot, it's like shooting an MV!
Although it is also a movie based on Japanese literature, the same slowness and delicacy, the funeral director is much better than this movie! The mortuary can integrate feelings and deep meaning into the ritual-like actions and details, and really convey it to the audience, while the details of the Norwegian forest are more like posing, empty and slightly hypocritical, maybe he is really mature, no Perfect for watching this movie.
