solitude

This is a movie that expresses loneliness.

The movie I watched because of Ryuichi Sakamoto's "Solitude" liked Tony's saying "loneliness is a prison". Once his father was put in prison and tortured. Tony never went to prison, but he spent most of his life in prison. Although he once said, "I don't feel alone." When all the clothes and records are gone, he'll really be alone.

The narration method of the film is also very unique. Most of the narration and the key sentences in the narration are expressed through the mouths of the characters in the play. The color saturation of the movie cover and Sakamoto Ryuichi's album cover is quite high, and the whole film in the movie is very low saturation, which really expresses the feeling of depression and loneliness. Finally, I have to say that Ryuichi Sakamoto's soundtrack is an indispensable part of the film.

  • 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.
