I actually know very little about Japanese youth cruelty movies. I have only seen one Lily Zhou before, and I feel that Lily Zhou is more like a cruelty made by teenagers, and the Norwegian forest is a grown-up cruelty. Although both youth films emphasize death, the former feels like it is to relieve the confusion of youth and the fear of unknown death by creating the destruction of others, while the latter is constantly healing from the pain of the death of a lover. After Naoko died, Watanabe traveled to a deserted place as always (forgive me for spoilers...), spent a long time in an isolated cave in the sea, and cried out on the rock because he missed Naoko (in the movie There are many such scenes...), and finally returned to the apartment in Tokyo alive. "The pain of the death of a lover is impossible to heal. Although it is temporarily relieved, there is still no way for it to hit my heart again in the future." Muyue's different way of life - getting old, to pay homage to their former youth. "I used to think that life should be between 18 and 19 years old. After 18 years old, it's 19 years old. After 19 years old, it's 18 years old again, so life will become a little easier." This is Naoko's 20-year-old I said it on my birthday, and then lost my voice in pain. In her imagination, she and Muyue will always be 18 or 19 years old in their little world, but Muyue herself left her the pain of growing up.
There are many memorial scenes in the film, of course, from the book, such as the two XX scenes of Watanabe and Naoko and Watanabe and Reiko, respectively, to pay tribute to a friend who has passed away. And Watanabe and Midori have never had sex, it's obvious that they lack that kind of connection. In fact, I have never liked Naoko very much (although there are many people who like her), because her self-isolation is so depressing. For example, her auditory hallucinations are obviously split because of her self-isolation. After Muyue's death, Naoko has lost the ability to fall in love with people, or even just make simple contact, so it is understandable that she followed Muyue in the end. Watanabe is right, that so-called sanatorium is not a place where you can stay for a long time, because it gives you the illusion of recovery. In fact, the experience of contacting people inside cannot be extended to the outside world. Naoko knows this very well. , so she committed suicide before she was picked up by Watanabe or tired of it. And only someone as powerful as Reiko can still find a new life in the outside world after 7 years inside.
Midori has always had no feelings for her, only that she is actually a very simple girl with a part of Watanabe. I love Watanabe~Matsuyama Kenichi gg really has the kind of tenderness, loneliness and simplicity in him. For example, he talks very little to Naoko, Midoriko, Reiko and Hatsumi, but he always speaks bluntly. If it hurts people, choose not to say it. Facing the death of his best friend and lover, Naoko chose to be obsessed with the past. Watanabe chose to live and not forget the person who passed away (he recalled the time with Kiyuki and Naoko over and over again), and Reiko chose one. A new love in a new place, and a person like Yongze "has never thought about making himself happy, and he has never thought about making others happy", living a noble and vulgar life, he brings to others Pain without injury, living very nourishing with his smart and mysterious sense, but he doesn't really care about these from the bottom of his heart, so he is a person who is only "living" rather than "living" (Watanabe's words are "scum").
I have been feeling very depressed on the way to take the bus, because there are shadows from the past flashing in my mind. Although there is no transformation and maturity like Watanabe and Reiko who are still alive and bruised, but isn't everything a function of the heart? Kind of lost where I am, and I don't have Midori somewhere to make a call.
