Everyone has a Norwegian forest in their hearts

When I was 22 years old, I took my 25-year-old boyfriend to watch this movie remake of a novel I read when I was 15 years old. There was not much verbal communication along the way. He was driving and I looked out the window. In fact, I was both looking forward and a little scared. After all, this novel can be regarded as affecting my character. After so many years, the death of Muyue is still a classic scene in my heart.
In fact, I didn't expect it to be very good. Personally, I think it is very good. Although many wonderful details are not shown, the overall feeling is very comfortable, the picture is beautiful, and the music appears just right. Naoko is just what I think it is, pale, not beautiful, Midori is more beautiful than I imagined, and Watanabe is unexpectedly handsome, so handsome that after watching the movie, he forced himself to re-examine this character. I always thought that Watanabe was a cowardly person. Maybe it was because of age or because Kenichi Matsuyama was handsome. After walking out of the movie theater, he suddenly felt that he needed more courage to live than to die. There is no doubt that Watanabe is not a coward. He has too much courage to continue to live with the sadness of the three people.
On the way home from the movie theater, I lit a cigarette and watched people coming and going towards the bright lights. Today, I am 22 years old. Life is still going on. I still have to go to work when I wake up in the morning. No one will care. Inner ups and downs.
When I was 15 years old, I read this novel, and at the age of 22, after watching the movie, I found that I hid the self that was entangled. Tonight it was awakened again, and I was glad to find that I was younger.
People who love novels must read, good and bad, are our own memories.
