It was Kenji's imagination from the beginning. He thought about the time after his death. It's a pity that he didn't die. The ending is also his hopeful imagination. He imagined himself meeting Noi in Osaka. It's a pity that he was in prison and Noi didn't get on the plane. He sat alone in the airport waiting for him.
His fantasy is everywhere, and the shadow of surrealism can be seen at any time. Maybe she was lying on his lap in a camisole, and the next moment she was the dead sister in his heart. I like this kind of subjectivity, this kind of subjectivity that takes the heart as the real vision.
Lizard is a key word. The first person to appear at the beginning of the film is the lizard flying across the wall. After that it appeared frequently. The book Kenji borrowed from the library is also a story about a lizard. "One day the lizard woke up and found that it was the last lizard in the world, and all its friends, family and enemies were dead." So he and she are the only objects in the world who can warm each other. Lizard, here, has the meaning of utter loneliness.

The music goes well. Very light, very gentle, with a sense of stream of consciousness. The wind blew gently across the curtains of Noi's house. Silence when remembering. The music stopped abruptly in due course. It totally shapes the melancholic tone. Hehe, I like it, I like it very much.
This kind of a bit sad, but dependent on the movie, I like it best~
