At the beginning of the film "Norwegian Forest", Watanabe, Kiyuki, and Naoko have a very good relationship. Kiyuki and Naoko are a couple, and Watanabe and Kiyuki are good friends.
With Muyue's suicide, Naoko and Muyue lost contact, and the two suffered the pain of losing friends and lovers alone.
When we met again, it was in a park. The two people who met, communicated very little, but walking together became a very ritual thing for each other.
As the number of walks increased, the relationship between the two became closer. On Naoko's 20th birthday, Watanabe prepared cakes and gifts for Naoko. On the day of Naoko's birthday, Naoko said that he was very afraid of turning 20, as if someone pushed him from behind.
She said: She really hopes that she can stay at the age of 18 or 19. After 18, she is 19, and after 19, she is 18, so that life doesn't have to be so difficult, and life can be easier, which means, No need to lose the Moon Moon.
Speaking of the emotional part, Naoko's body trembled a little, snuggling on Watanabe's body, and the two had a relationship that night. To Watanabe's surprise, it turned out that this was Naoko's first time. Before that, Naoko and Kiyuki had never had a relationship.
The day after the separation, Watanabe called Naoko and learned from the landlord that Naoko had moved out.
There is no way to directly contact Naoko's Watanabe, and he can only express his thoughts by writing to Naoko's hometown. The approximate meaning of the letter is: I am worried that my impulsive behavior that day has hurt her, and I am also looking forward to seeing you again.
After sending the letter, Watanabe waited for many days, and finally got Naoko's reply. It turned out that Naoko was in a very bad state after being separated from Watanabe for a period of time, and was admitted to a nursing home (similar to a mental hospital).
Watanabe went to the sanatorium. According to the regulations of the sanatorium, he could not meet Naoko directly for the time being. He took a short rest. When he opened his eyes dimly, Naoko was right in front of him.
Naoko blinked her big eyes and looked at Watanabe's face seriously. The faces of the two were very close together, and the picture looked very warm. Naoko and Watanabe touched face to face, like an instinctive way of intimacy between animals.
At night, Naoko secretly climbed onto Watanabe's bed, she kissed Watanabe actively, but when Watanabe was about to respond, she quickly retracted.
Naoko at this moment is like a person who really wants to get close to others. When others really get close to her, she is not used to it, she quickly withdraws, and her heart is in a state of contradiction.
Early in the morning, Naoko called Watanabe up and said she wanted to talk to him. On the open grass, Naoko was walking fast in front, Watanabe chasing after him.
This time Naoko called Watanabe out alone to answer his question, why she and Kiyuki were together for so long, but the two did not have a relationship.
It turns out that the two of them have such a will for each other, but they have tried many methods without success. Naoko is very troubled and painful. He clearly loves Muyue very much. Why does he fail every time he wants to have a relationship.
When Watanabe asked: Then you don't love me? Naoko said sincerely that he and Kiyuki have a very special relationship. The two were together when they were very young. For Watanabe, I am very sorry.
After he finished speaking, his emotions also collapsed and he ran frantically...
Hearing such news, Watanabe was very sad, but after making some adjustments, he still managed to run over and put Naoko in his arms. In fact, at this time, there is both love and a sense of responsibility. All in all, Watanabe did not give up Naoko.
The first meeting ended like this. It was a few months after the two met for the second time. The two embraced each other in the snow, feeling each other's breath and heartbeat. The feeling of reunion after a long absence broke out at that moment.
The two of them tried again to have sex, but it still failed. Naoko was in pain. She couldn't understand why this was happening. She thought about it in her heart, but her body was very repulsive. She hated herself and felt that she was not worthy of being loved at all.
And Watanabe has been so persistent towards her, which made her even more miserable. At that moment, she screamed hoarsely, hoping that Watanabe would leave her soon, her inner contradictions and tangled state were all at a glance.
Facing the out of control Naoko, Watanabe held her tightly in his arms, Naoko collapsed in her arms, did not move, and was tightly surrounded by Watanabe's love.
When he left this time, Watanabe sincerely invited him to find another job, hoping to take Naoko by his side to take care of her.
Naoko looked at him with relief, nodded slightly, and promised to consider his request. But when Watanabe turned to leave, his eyes showed the sadness of farewell.
Perhaps it was the unresolved pain in her heart, or perhaps she would never love anyone other than Muyue. All in all, she finally chose to commit suicide and abandoned the world in an extreme way.
After Watanabe learned the news, he was very distressed. He took a broken pot and a sleeping bag and hid by the beach. He stayed alone for many days and nights.
Between heaven and earth, Watanabe squatted alone on a big rock, drool dripping from his crooked mouth on his unshaven face, and his facial expression showed infinite pain.
Naoko is gone, vanished from his world...
In this relationship, the two people are sincere and honest with each other, and they also try to get closer to each other, but there is always a barrier between them, which makes them miserable and makes them struggle.
Compared with Naoko and Watanabe's sincere and heavy feelings, the relationship between Midori and Watanabe is much easier.
Midori took the initiative to talk to Watanabe at the restaurant. When she learned that Watanabe was traveling alone recently, she thought he liked being alone, but in fact Watanabe just didn't like making friends casually, for fear that he would be disappointed.
Later, the two made an appointment alone at Luzi's house, and Luzi shared her view of love:
"When I wanted to eat strawberry cake, I wanted him to drop everything and buy it for me, and when he put it in front of me out of breath, I didn't want to eat it and threw the cake out the window.
I want the other person to say to me 'It's all my fault, I'm stupid and stupid, what do you want to eat? chocolate? strawberry? Still cheese, I'll buy it again'. At that moment, I will fall in love with him."
Midori expects to be loved in the full sense. Although it doesn't look like love, she is frank enough to say what she thinks. When the two talked about the emotional part, they kissed together. After the kiss, Midori said, I have a boyfriend, how about you, do you have someone you like? Watanabe thought for a while and nodded.
When the two of them were sitting by the pool together, Midori said what she was thinking:
"I want to lie down on a big, soft bed, you sleep next to me, you take off my clothes, very gentle. I feel very comfortable, and suddenly, I wake up and shout, Watanabe Jun, although I like you, but you can't be like this, I have a boyfriend, please don't. But you didn't listen to it at all, you are still majestic..."
This description is very straightforward, and the true thoughts in the heart are expressed without concealment.
When she was at the bar, Midori told Watanabe that she and her boyfriend had broken up. When she was traveling alone, she always thought about Watanabe.
But Watanabe seemed to be a little unappreciative, and another, his heart has always been very contradictory, he said a few very mean words, and the two broke up for a short time.
When the two got back together, Watanabe expressed his love for Midori, but they couldn't be together yet, because Naoko was still thinking about Naoko in his heart, and Naoko's state was very bad.
Midori heard this and said to Watanabe:
"I'm willing to wait, but when you hold me, I hope you're thinking about me alone."
And told Watanabe:
"You can do anything to me, but please stop hurting me because I've been hurt enough."
Watanabe nodded.
This relationship, on the whole, is much easier. The two treat each other sincerely, and their emotions slowly flow in their hearts.
The film is mainly explained by these two emotional lines. Although the emotions between Watanabe and Naoko are a little heavy, and the emotions between Watanabe and Midori are a little turbulent, but overall, they are very real and real feelings.
This is also the charm of this movie, because compared to the original novel, the plot design is still a bit jumpy, but it does not affect the overall atmosphere of the movie.
Because, in fact, everyone has a longing for the truth in the bottom of their hearts. It is not concealed or hurt. It is the contact between hearts and hearts, and it is the blending of both sides of love.
