When Hoshino forced Renjian to masturbate in front of everyone, I never hated him , Even if he forced the girl playing Bach to shave her hair, I never hated him. I can feel the great fear and despair of death and life in his heart. Life is so fragile, so he is strong The attitude of the writer appeared, and he used violence to relieve his increasingly lingering sense of nothingness. I understand him, he has been conquered by despair, although he is still struggling. However, when Renjian holds the engraving that Hoshino gave him in his hand The green apple with the blue cat name, I almost hate him when I watch him tear up concert tickets bit by bit. When
he destroys others, he is also destroying himself, he is destroying everything..." (quoted from Yang Buhui commented on "You Can’t Cry" on the Internet) I
heard that at the Shanghai Film Festival in a certain year, "Everything About Lili Zhou" was also on the list of invited exhibitors. Iwai Shunji himself also went to Shanghai; I heard that the film festival was hosted Fang renamed the movie "The Cardamom Years"; I heard that those Shanghai petty bourgeoisie who had watched "Love Letters" were really excited about it for a while; I heard that the best film at the Shanghai Film Festival was the domestic movie "Life Show"... …I
can’t imagine how Iwai Shunji’s "Everything About Lili Zhou" would be released in the mainland—because this is definitely the darkest and most desperate one of the adolescence-themed movies. .
After watching "Everything About Lili Zhou", you will find Ma Xiaojun in "Sunny Days" very ridiculous, and Xiao Ma and Xinzhi in "Bad Boy's Sky" are very lucky, it is "Guling Street Juvenile Murder" Compared with the same murderous Renjian in "Everything about Lilizhou", the fourth in the middle school seems to be happier, because he has at least had love-and the world belonging to Renjian is extremely gloomy. And the ugly world, where there are only violence, indifference, despair, fear, and death. The only thing that can comfort Lian Jian is the music of Lily Zhou and a netizen with the ID of Green Cat on the Lily Zhou Fan Forum. But in the end, these are all too. All shattered...
The story takes place in a small town in Japan. The introverted rural boy Hasumi lives with his mother, stepfather, and younger brother brought by the stepfather. They are emotionally alienated and have no communication. He is a loyal fan of Lily Zhou. He created a web page about Lily Zhou on the Internet and hosted fan forums under the screen name of Philia.
Hasumi is obsessed with the illusory world created by Lily Zhou's music all day long. Sometimes he also mixes with unscrupulous teenagers and engages in theft activities in suburban trains or video stores.
One day, while selling stolen goods in a thrift store with his friends, Lian Jian accidentally found a discarded and expired Lily Zhou poster. If he had obtained the most precious treasure, he took great pains to transport it home by bicycle. .
The one that Lianjian communicates most on the Internet is a netizen whose ID is Qingmao. He seems to know everything about Lily Zhou and has a deep understanding of music. Lily Zhou’s music and Qingmao’s reply are 15-year-old Lianjian. The only comfort.
I heard that Lily Zhou had released a new album, Renjian rushed to the video store. But the pocket money his father had just given him was snatched by his partner, and the penniless Renjian put the CD in his schoolbag, but was caught by the clerk. Renami’s teacher, Koyamachi, was notified to come to the audiovisual store to lead the person. She bought Lily Chou’s latest album "Breathe" for Renami. On the way back to school, the young female teacher and Renami enjoyed it together. The main song "Aragus Ancient".
The teacher found Lianjian’s mother to the school. Her son’s bad behavior made her mother embarrassed. She denounced Lianjian, but Lianjian was almost completely indifferent. At this moment, there was only Lily Zhou Yizhen’s singing in Lianjian’s heart, and mist filled her mind. The purple sky is mysterious and pure-that is the sky that belongs to Lily Zhou, the last pure land in Renjian's heart.
In the evening, Renjian was listening to music at home, but was called out by his classmate Shusuke Hoshino. He was beaten by a group of peers led by Hoshino, and then Hoshino asked Renjian to masturbate in front of everyone. And Lily Zhou's new CD was cruelly broken in half by Hoshino, and the CD case was also torn apart. Sad Rendome recalled his friendship with Hoshino. It was an unforgettable past...
A year ago, Hasumi and Hoshino entered the same middle school from the same elementary school. At the opening ceremony, Hoshino made a speech on behalf of all freshmen. At that time, Hoshino looked vigorous and full of hope for life. But his talent and pride also offended the seniors in the school and a group of powerful girls in the class. He was often besieged by those people. At this time, Renjian always tried his best to help Hoshino.
One night, when Ren saw Hoshino's as a guest, he was fascinated by a poster in Hoshino's bedroom. Hoshino told him that it was Lily Zhou in Yokohama on the poster. That was the first time Lianjian heard the name Lily Zhou. Later, Lianjian told Qingmao when posting on the forum that it was a rosy day.
On the baseball field, Renjian discovered his dream lover Kuno, and was deeply attracted by her elegant and quiet temperament. After the ball game ended, they met at the station, and the upright and arrogant Hisano also broke into Hoshino's sight.
A bland semester passed in a blink of an eye. In the summer vacation, a few boys decided to travel to Okinawa. In order to raise money, Hoshino unexpectedly robbed a large sum of money, realizing the dream of his friends to travel to Okinawa.
The beautiful island of Okinawa is a paradise for vacation. The amorous tour guides accompanied these inexperienced teenagers, exploring the jungle during the day and playing in the sea; at night, they set off fireworks on the beach to look for traces of sea turtles. Hoshino was fascinated by the "Aragusko" played by Miss Island Yu with folk instruments.
But it was also during this trip that Hoshino nearly died twice. Once he was slightly injured when he was attacked by a tuna fish. Hoshino, who was still in shock, saw the tragic situation of those who were stabbed to death by the tuna fish. The other time he almost drowned while swimming. Fortunately, he was discovered in time by a strange tourist. ; And then Hoshino witnessed another person died in a car accident-the local driver told him that if people bring unlucky things to the island, they will definitely be punished here and lose their souls-the trip to Okinawa left in everyone's hearts Cast a heavy shadow.
Lianjian told Qingmao on the forum that after the summer vacation that year, the world turned gray.
School started again, and there was a shocking change in Hoshino's body. He cruelly punished the former class bully in front of all his classmates. Seeing Hoshino's so sophisticated and violent behavior, Renjian felt extremely terrified. The unbearable class bully was forced to drop out; Renami, who had decided to withdraw from the gang, was also beaten up and bruised by Hoshino's gang.
At this time, Lianjian's inner world was completely closed to the external real world. Lily Zhou became his only spiritual sustenance. The silent Lianjian only confided to Qingmao and other netizens on the Internet.
Hoshino seemed to be driven by some kind of evil force, and he intensified his revenge on everyone, even the class girls. The innocent and lively girl Tsuda is forced by Hoshino to provide sexual services to those perverted adults. In the end, Tsuda chose to commit suicide with extreme confusion and despair about the real world. At the age of 14, she jumped from a steel tower in the wild...
At the same time, the talented Kuno couldn't escape bad luck. Hasumi was forced to hand over her dream lover to Hoshino, and Hisano was gang-raped by Hoshino's men in an abandoned factory. Renjian cried bitterly when she saw this scene, while Hoshino on the other side smiled grimly and twisted.
It turned out that this was Hoshino's way of expressing love to Kuno. He and Kunohara were elementary school classmates. When they graduated from elementary school, Kuno gave Hoshino a piece of Debussy's "Brown-haired Girl". Perhaps Hoshino hurt Hisano because he couldn't express his love to her in other ways, perhaps because he feared this love? ——After being gang-raped, Kuno was even shaved by Hoshino's gang...In
class, facing the flowers on Tsuda's table and the tragic appearance of his late Kuno being shaved, Renami was severely irritated. He told Qing Mao about his inner pain on the Internet, asking him to save himself and take himself out of this chaotic world. Qing Mao encouraged him to survive bravely for Lily Zhou.
Lianjian and Qingmao agreed to meet at Lily Zhou's concert, and the joint code was that Qingmao was holding a green apple in his hand.
With an unprecedented grand concert, Renjian suddenly met Hoshino in the square. Hoshino forced Renmi to buy water for himself, and gave Yuichi a green apple to let him wait for him, but he took Renami's ticket and rushed into the lobby.
Renjian wrote the name of the green cat on the green apple. It turns out that the green cat is Hoshino. At this time, Hoshino was holding up Renmi's admission ticket in the gate, tearing the ticket to pieces in front of Renmi...
Renmin's heart was completely shattered, and he held the green apple tightly and passed through the square. I watched the hopeless Lily Week concert on the big screen.
When the concert was over, the crowd poured out of the exit, and Lian Jian hissing in hysterical exclamation suddenly sounded: Lily Zhou! This shout made the fans who were still in a state of excitement surge back wildly. At this time, Hoshino, who was standing in the crowd, fell into a pool of blood.
Renami, who got out of the frightened crowd, ran to a dark corner with no one, and inserted the bloody dagger into the green apple that Hoshino gave him...
It is said that Shunji Iwai saw Faye Wong at Faye Wong’s concert. I was inspired by my loyal fans. Then, starting in April 2000, I spent three months writing a novel titled "Everything About Lily Chou" on the subject of crowd communication in online forums.
When creating this novel, he also got inspiration from his homepage "Yuandu". He often turned into a common ID on the "Yuandu Communication" forum to participate and observe the online world. The first chapter to the first chapter of the novel The six chapters are all composed of posts from various forums.
When adapting the novel into the movie "Everything About Lily Chou" of the same name, Iwai also made extensive use of real events on the Internet. Approaching the core of the facts through the discussion of topics, quietly describing the prosperity and desolation of the forum, the cohesion and dissipation of favor...
•What is Lily Zhou? It is the bright green rice field under the endless blue sky. Yuichi stands in the waist-length rice field and listens to his hope for the world; it is the red kite flying freely in the endless sky. The girl said to the kite that I want to fly to the sky; Under the dim and bright light, the piano music flowing out of Kuno’s hands lingered in his ears for a long time; it was the boy’s first and most beautiful wish for the entire world... (comment by netizens)
• I want to fly with a kite—— Said Tsuda Saori, a 14-year-old girl who was forced to provide sexual services to abnormal adults. She can not fly, but the fall in Lily Chou-Chou "can not afford to fly Wings" song from the tall steel towers to the ground ......
• I wanted to die, several times, but does not look good to die, falling I fell, who will help me? ——The desperate young Renjian wrote on BBS.
• I don’t want to know why they are desperate. Perhaps it was because of a death that I witnessed with my own eyes? Perhaps because of the great disappointment in the world? Perhaps they were born only as a carrier of despair? They may have had virtual comfort, a virtual Ether world, a dark and blurred world full of lily chou-chou, but in the end, everything ended in death, in the final manifestation of despair.
In this world, there is only death. We can't learn to cry, there is only death before our eyes.
That's all about Lily Zhou! (Comment by Yang Bugui)
• There has never been a movie like Shunji Iwai’s "Everything About Lily Chou" that fascinated me. I watched this movie over and over again, and every time I seemed to be deeply involved in the movie. It was a feeling of being replaced, as if the soul came out of its shell, hovering beside the two teenagers who were standing in the rice field listening to songs. It seems to be living in some kind of nightmare. Every time I see Hoshino roaring suddenly in the open field, I can't help but want to yell. This feeling is not brought to me by the beautiful pictures and music, but something beyond the pictures and music, and it is difficult to express in words... (Critical Egg King)
