director and my country

First of all, the soundtrack inside is amazing! I like it very much, I can give five stars for the music in a single column~

Secondly, the director is simply amazing! Just like me~ How can I tell you, even when I read novels, I felt that Naoko was a lunatic, and it was especially annoying. In the movie, the role Naoko chose was unpleasant in the first place, and the acting was super unnatural. The director must have hated Naoko in the original book for casting and filming, so he worked so hard to blacken Naoko. . .

Also, the editing of the pictures in many places in the movie is super beautiful! For example, the first three good friends are together, such as snow, swimming pool, etc., etc., and so on. However, how did the sex with Naoko shoot so badly? . . pretty ugly. . .

Also, when I read the original book, I liked Midori very much. I remember that Midori gave Watanabe a handjob in the original book, but it was not filmed in the movie. At that time, I was very young, in my teens, and I didn't think it was pornographic. I think the green girl has a good character. Midori in the movie played very well, maybe because she has a certain advantage in appearance, but the performance is very natural and there is no exaggeration like the Naoko actor.

The dead are always seventeen.

This sentence affected me for quite a long time.

In fact, the film adapted from the novel will not be too wishful. Except for Naoko's actor who is a big failure, the rest of the film is not bad.

    Toru Watanabe: I promise I'll always remember.

  • Toru Watanabe: With each passing season, I grow father away from the dead. Kizuki remains 17. Naoko remains 21. For eternity.
