I didn't clearly feel the connection between this movie and Haruki Murakami and Ryuichi Sakamoto until the staff list came out, but the moment I saw the staff list, I suddenly thought it was, isn't it? That vague feeling of deja vu has finally come to fruition... Dad's war background and the experience of being repatriated from the trial, the clear sadness in the soundtrack is obviously Murakami and Sakamoto! The movie is a bit like the boy's version of "The Life of the Disgusted "Tony Takiko", but it is less poignant and more beautiful. The theme of the film is indescribable loneliness, but it is straightforward, suspended above real life, loneliness that does not eat human fireworks. Through straightforward language, an empty room, and a slow-paced, slow-motion and gentle soundtrack to express the extreme loneliness of the characters, while feeling aesthetic, they lose empathy because they are separated from life.
The portrayal of loneliness in the whole story is also superficial. It seems that loneliness depends on whether there is a loved one to accompany you. If you have a wife, you will not be lonely, and if you lose a wife, you will return to loneliness. There is no doubt that love and companionship can smooth out loneliness at certain levels and moments, but the loneliness that accompanies everyone's life has nowhere to escape and cannot be resolved, probably we have all felt it, isn't it? Is it impossible to completely dissolve both love and being loved? Similar profound discussions about loneliness almost did not appear, plus the interpretation of the original text of the novel, the beautiful camera language, and the moving soundtrack, the whole film is more like a collection of beautiful sadness and sadness, but the beauty is superficial.
