Rie again

I don't consider myself a Murakami fan, but I have seen every one of his works just because I like "Norwegian Wood", which is also his most normal long novel. Looking at his things is actually in a state of pure obscenity, basically splitting the personality into substantive plots, but it is too ambiguous and swaying. After all, Lin Shaohua contributed to this.
"Tony Takiya" is adapted from the short story of the same name. It basically captures the artistic conception of the original work, which is light, elegant, lonely, and procrastinating. However, part of the plot of Tony's father was deleted from the original work, but it was done without authorization. Added a part, but it didn't work. This is a lonely story. There are basically only narrations, few dialogues, and in the end it is a bit superfluous, but I already like the ending that is a little hopeful, although it destroys the artistic conception of the original work.
70 minutes is neither long nor short, and if it is longer, I guess I will not be able to hold on to it. Miyazawa Rie is still gorgeous, and I still like it.

ZT: Look, I didn't sit in the room and stare blankly at the four walls thinking. It's just that I'm more and more confused about what loneliness is all about. Does the big premise of loneliness must be built on others? Tony's father brings loneliness to Tony; Tony's wife takes loneliness away, but leaves loneliness when he dies. But is loneliness really that simple, it's all about someone else?

    Still Nishishima is the most handsome 233, and the protagonist looks too much like Murakami himself. Is this a low-budget movie? Just speaking personally, it's fine. Not much to say about loneliness, everyone understands.

    Put an end to the characters and environment of fireworks, alienated interpersonal relationships, and highly restore the temperament of the novel and Murakami. Visualized fiction amplifies fetishes. I can't say I like the story, but the form is very complete and beautiful. The always-present voice of Hideo Nishijima and the actor's opening narration to the audience, coupled with the enclosed spaces, have a sense of stage. Because the soundtrack is so familiar, the movie feels like it's made for the music
