At that time, Haruki Murakami hadn't become a petty bourgeois label. After many years, the streets were filled with Murakami's books. I read another book, "Meeting a 100% Girl". I was surprised. I don't know what petty bourgeois liked about her. , simply tastes like chewing wax.
But I've always been curious to find out, there must be a reason why a person is liked by many people, and I want to know why. Maybe I'll be fascinated by his writing too.
I watched "1Q84" again this year, and I thought it was well written, and it was my favorite tune. So I bought a few more copies, but unfortunately I didn't even start reading them.
As for the plot of "Norwegian Forest", it has been so long that I have completely forgotten it. I only remember that there was a man named Midori and another who seemed to be gay. Who else opened their legs to expose their private parts in front of the father's portrait.
The reason why I remember these is because the name Mizuko is very special, because I like green. And because those behaviors were shocking and shocking, they had a big impact on me at the time. Can't remember the rest.
After watching the movie, I couldn't recall the plot of the novel, and found that the name I remembered was not the heroine either. The content of the movie still surprised me a bit, I didn't expect it to discuss topics related to sex.
Before watching it, I heard a lot of people say that the filming is not good, but I really want to watch it, whether it is good or not. So I went to the theater to watch the movie on September 21. It's a pity that I don't have the book with me, so I can't read the book first for comparison.
Only three people watched the movie. There is a couple besides me. Japanese original sound, you have to stare at the screen all the time, it is not conducive to posting Weibo while watching. But I'd rather watch the soundtrack.
The picture is very beautiful, sometimes very fresh, sometimes very gloomy. The music is nice but hypnotic, I don't mean falling asleep. It's even possible to watch it again, and it's not that good. But as a sullen person, it is still very appetizing.
There are some good songs in the movie, especially the half song that Reiko plays and sings is really charming. I think one of the songs is "Norwegian Woods".
Downloaded the Norwegian Wood of the Beatles, and read the lyrics, and was surprised to find that Reiko sang this song, but she felt very different from beatles. I don't know who sang it in the movie, the voice is sexy and charming.
It's a pity that Naoko cried only halfway through the song, and then she put down the guitar and hugged Naoko to comfort her, and the singing stopped.
At this moment, I read the original text of a novel on the Internet, "When I heard this song, I felt as if I had lost my way in the jungle. I don't know why. I just felt that I was alone, cold and dark, and no one came to save me... ...but it's really my favorite song," Naoko said.
The text of the novel, like this song, has a hallucinogenic effect, making people immersed and intoxicated. I liked it when I read it back then, but I haven't seen other Murakami books for many years. When I read it again, it was "Meeting a 100% Girl". I didn't like it, so I missed his book for many years.
What is this movie about? Can you kill someone if you can't have sex? I need to look for the novel to read, and I don't remember at all that the novel is talking about this topic.
I used to know some women couldn't do it, but I never thought about female sexual dysfunction. I thought it would be fine as long as I was with the person I love. But Naoko and the two people she loves can't do it, why is that?
The novel is to explore the confusion of growing up through this topic? But the movie doesn't show that. It just makes people feel that Naoko's personality is too persistent, unable to forget the past, maybe because it is related to life and death, he can't be relieved.
There are things that you want to forget, if you just hide them in your heart, then those things will come out and hit you one day. Might as well say it hard, sting you hard, and then take it lightly.
Naoko got Watanabe's love, but he still couldn't resist the loneliness and confusion in his heart, and finally went to the road of no return. If she and Watanabe could be together happily, without obstacles, maybe they would be saved too. Sex has an indelible effect.
"People, life, are inherently lonely and helpless. Therefore, it is necessary to communicate with people in order to understand each other. But is mutual understanding really possible? No, it is impossible, fatalistically impossible, and efforts to seek understanding are futile. Instead of trying to eliminate loneliness and resolve helplessness through reluctance to communicate, it is better to retreat and play with loneliness and helplessness." Haruki Murakami said this, which made people feel so desperate.
Perhaps, all the feelings can only finally fall into the real life, the thoughts are occupied by the actual things in life, there is no time to think wildly, just experience the trivial warmth, and have the capital to resist emptiness and loneliness. The fireworks on earth are the most warm and practical.
But it's not going to be too flamboyant, the xinxing will be corroded by the trivialities in reality, that is a very scary thing, and it will be even more desperate. Human beings are born with contradictions, so there are literature, art, philosophy and other things to contend with loneliness and emptiness.
I like persistent love, but people can live only if they keep forgetting. Hide those precious memories in the deepest corner of the soul, and don't let it conflict with reality. This is also a kind of forgetting.
Zhou Yunpeng said in "Reproach in Spring": To use trauma as a medal is to blaspheme all the sufferings that one has suffered.
I think Naoko should understand this sentence. But even if she understands, she can't convince herself, because love can't soothe her, so nothing can save her.
