The Lonely Room of "Tony Takiya"

I love this movie.



People are actually in a closed room, right?

We go from room to room, from here to there, from there to another, and back there again, and here again.

Here, there, here, there, here, there, here, there, here, there.

where?

It's all the same there, it's just a closed room.

I was alone in the room, so lonely.

But I saw you in my room.

That's not the real me. That's just your imagination.

There was actually only one person in each room, and everyone was trapped in the room. The "other" we see is actually just an illusion.

So lonely. How can you be alone all the time? Nothing can be said to anyone, nothing can be shared with anyone.

Saying it is nothing but saying it, because everyone is originally a different person, and it is impossible for others to understand when you say it.

Even if you leave this room and go elsewhere, it will still be the same.

No one will understand your loneliness. Because everyone is lonely. We only know our own, not others.

Sometimes we don't even understand our own.

Split yourself in two? Turn yourself into two and you can talk to yourself.

Then someone can share themselves.

But it turned out to be only one person, right?

Yes.

Self-talk will actually only make it lonelier.

Yes.

Can you go out?

cant.

Why.

Because the body itself is a room.

Tony Takitani quotes

  • Narrator: In that place, the boundary between life and death...

    Tony Takitani, Shozaburo Takitani: Was as slim as a single strand of hair.

  • Narrator: He found his home had been destroyed in the firebombing, and his parents and his only brother, lost to the same fate. In other words, he was then... utterly alone in the world.
