Haruki Murakami film adaptation

This is a film adapted from Haruki Murakami's novel, and it can be regarded as a film made by Haruki Murakami. The composition of the film is tranquil, the characters are quiet, the narration by Hidetoshi Nishijima, Kazushi Ogata playing the protagonist's pot-covered, old boy appearance, and even the slightly morbid shopping behavior of the heroine Rie Miyazawa, are all elements of Haruki Murakami's novels.

The movie is still fresh, and although it doesn't have much of the director's skill in it, it is always "storytelling" and novel. The scene of Miyazawa Rie's "shopping" in the film is always full of new clothes and new shoes, and the camera inadvertently slides over the calm and anxious face of the female housewife - only there is no satisfaction. This face is full of boundaries and the impossibility of communication - or, in other words, even at the sweetest moment between Ogata and Miyazawa Rie, they were separated, so they were recruited to dress. Facing the clothes in such a big room, the girl burst into tears. At that moment, to the audience, the crying person was none other than the hostess of the clothes and the characters in most of Haruki Murakami's novels. .

  • 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.
