People of my age may have read "Norwegian Forest" when they were in junior high school. Most people read it as a pornographic book, and I continued to read all Murakami's books in the following days, but then None of the books are as clear as the impact of the first one. Kizuki who died in the car, the cucumber rolled with seaweed, Watanabe's exile journey, and of course Ami Riao.
The long section of Ameliao, every time I read it, I have the illusion of forgetting time and space. For me at that age, this is like a utopian existence.

I watched the film more than once, and every time I was in front of it, I gave up halfway. The heroine "Hollywood actress" has a strong aura, and it is indeed a drama, but today I finished watching the whole film in a calm mood, you can say, The film is not so clichéd. The description of the nursing home even restores a part of Ameliao in my mind.

Regarding the specific reasons that led to Veronika's decision to die, the director chose to avoid it, which is also wise. It is not clear whether it is possible to resonate with everyone, and people want to find someone to talk to them when they are at the lowest point, but they don't know. From where to start, this is the most pathetic. Therefore, the whole film adopts an evasive method. It is probably in such a beautiful environment. It would be too horrible to die or live. If you want to be straightforward, Winona played for us 10 years ago. pass. So this film is definitely the title party, and what it expounds is optimistic and even fresh.

To make viewers happy, a paradise-like sanatorium is not enough, so after veronika was hospitalized, ed appeared immediately. This man can't be described as beautiful. That's why I watched the whole movie this time. . . As soon as he appeared, everyone probably saw the ending, but the director finally turned around a bit, which is quite unexpected, because the doctor said that Veronika didn’t have much time, and maybe everyone guessed that he was lying, then the ending If Veronika can't wake up at all, it doesn't have a taste, but the tone of the whole film is completely inconsistent. Maybe I will not be so happy after watching it, so she woke up, happy ending.

Most of the work in the film is devoted to veronika and ed. Even the doctors and elder sisters are obviously not enough. This shows the director's tendency. People like to pay attention to pleasing emotions, even in this place that is out of touch with the real world. , It’s better to be able to fight a fight in a nursing home than to return to the real world after the beautiful half-revealed scenes. I want to change to Europe, how they will shoot this part, at least it must be real swords and guns ==

Finally, I confess that I love the soundtrack of this film very much, the combination is just right, and the most unbearable silence A literary film with a soundtrack.
