This is an extremely stream-of-consciousness movie. It is a mixture of Haruki Murakami's loneliness and Sakamoto Ryuichi's loneliness. The addition of loneliness and loneliness equals loneliness, but it does not mean two loneliness, but an excess. It's not suitable for watching in such a deep night, and people's emotions are very serious. When the physical depression and loneliness, the collision triggers psychological repercussions, such emotions are very depressed. After watching, I was holding a cup of tea that had been added three times during the period, and I didn't know what to say to the screen for a while. The movie is based on a short story by Haruki Murakami. This is the movie I have seen so far that best fits the style of Murakami's original work. Like the previously adapted "Norwegian Forest" and Li Changdong's "Burning", it just borrows Murakami's story, and Some core things are the director's own understanding. This one is different. I think the first director has a deep understanding of the original work, and the second he chooses to respect the spiritual core of Haruki Murakami. It is not difficult to find in the film that the style of Murakami is everywhere, there is not too much dialogue, there are large blank pictures, interspersed with narration, and even old still photos appear, and there is no complicated dialogue between the characters. I also said before that movies cannot be seen through the surface plot, otherwise all movies can be roughly summarized. If you only look at the plot, this is just a hypocritical story about the male protagonist growing up alone, finally got married and his wife died. that's all? No, after these seemingly pale and boring plots, behind every selected picture, in the depths of every narration, is an exposition of the meaning of the film. I'm so glad that I'm starting to watch art films that I'd never watch much before, and start thinking about something deeper. This film, through the theme of love and forgetting, is talking about loneliness, and there is even a deeper meaning that I don't understand. In frame by frame, the color grading is adjusted to low saturation, the scene is mostly empty and lonely, and it is not when the characters seem to be in harmony. This is an interpretation of loneliness. Tony is a loner and grew up on himself, but he never felt lonely, just a gray thing shrouded his life. When he grows up, his interactions with people are also very shallow. He likes machinery, cold Guilin machinery, and works as an illustrator for precise machines. His life seemed to be filled with a huge void that could never be filled. Until he met the woman he was interested in, and through repeated pursuits, he finally got love. His emptiness is filled, his loneliness is released, is that true? Dazai Osamu once said: Cowards are even afraid of happiness, and they will be hurt when they touch cotton. So is Tony. He is afraid of the loss of love and is afraid of being lonely again. For him, this love is Precious, can fill the emptiness of life, which is rare and precious. And her wife, apparently also a woman who needs something to fill the emptiness of her loneliness - to buy clothes. Sick shopping, buying all kinds of new clothes, even if you don't wear them, even if you can't fit in too much, do you still want to buy them? For her, it was the way to fill the void in herself, but not the way to really solve the problem. Therefore, when she was faced with the contradiction of not being able to buy any more and she would be uncomfortable if she didn't buy it, she could no longer solve this survival problem by herself, so she chose to commit suicide. She left the world, leaving with her own emptiness, unplugging Tony's love plug, and falling into emptiness again. One person's loneliness plus another's loneliness is equal to loneliness, more than two loneliness. Tony is looking for a secretary who wears his wife's clothes. But when the woman who applied for the job was faced with so many clothes, she burst into tears. She said that she had never seen such a beautiful dress. Actually, I think she wanted to say that she had never felt such a huge and unfamiliar void. His wife died, leaving behind a lot of clothes. My father also died, leaving behind a pile of records. Tony finally got down and sold so many memories that he thought he could forget them all. He used loss to save loss, and loneliness to exchange loneliness. Finally, he understood that loneliness will never escape. Are we not? They seek ways to fill their own emptiness in their respective life paths, but they cannot escape the fateful loneliness. In this quagmire, they continue to gain and lose again, repeating the emptiness of cosmic reincarnation, just like this. I am reminded of a philosopher who said that only loneliness is eternal.
