But I am not Murakami after all, and what Murakami finally trusts is Chen Yingying.
To borrow Wong Kar-wai's subtitle line in "2046": "All memories are damp".
Indeed, Chen Yingying made Japan into a Vietnamese rainforest. Every time Watanabe has sex, it is accompanied by rain or snowflakes. , what the novel reveals is clarity and purity, while what the movie reveals is wet and sticky -- after all, Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia are different.
The editing is a bit rough, and even readers of the original seem to jump too much, let alone those who haven't read the original.
There are also some serious problems with the actors: Naoko's actors use too much force, and they are not age-matched, and the scenes of pretending to be tender are a bit unbearable; Midori's performance is too artificial and annoying; Watanabe's performance is normal, but in my heart. Watanabe and Matsuyama Kenichi are too handsome, but small supporting roles such as Yongze are more colorful.
But I still give the movie four stars.
One star is for "Norwegian Wood" in my heart, one star is for the soundtrack in the movie, one star is for the past that I reminisce while watching, and one star is for those who have passed away. My youth and sorrow that cannot be returned.
It is rare for the distributor to introduce a literary film for this September. Although it is not very exciting, it is much better than watching "Da Wusheng" and the like. I still have a star in my heart, give it to you
