On "Norwegian Woods"

This novel that had the deepest influence on me was turned into a movie in this way. This movie I had been looking forward to for a long time brought me a disappointment.
There is no feeling at the beginning of the movie, and the most powerful thing is the narration. People who haven't read the original book probably don't understand what they're talking about. Those who have seen the original book should be disappointed by this movie. The second half of the movie only got a little bit of a feeling. I have been acting in the plot, but without the soul of the novel. Many of the scenes in the film seem to be filming a horror movie, and the music in it is also like a horror movie. I watched it slowly for 128 minutes, and some were only disappointed with the movie. soul. When Watanabe met Naoko, it was love, love that couldn't be done. The conversation after the meeting, how to listen, how does it feel like a tertiary film. It is not so easy to bring a classic novel to the screen, and it is even more difficult to satisfy the tastes of these village fans. All the characters in the novel will appear by then, but none of them have the feeling of the original. I feel that the film is very empty and has no texture,
alas~~ I don't want to write it anymore, I was disappointed and stole it. .
