The novel is beautiful, so let's adapt it like that

Adapted from Haruki Murakami's novel of the same name, "Norwegian Forest", directed by Chen Yingxiong, written by Haruki Murakami himself, starring Kenichi Matsuyama, Rinko Kikuchi and Kiko Mizuhara. It tells the love-hate entanglement between college student Watanabe, Naoko, Midoriko and others. The composition of the picture is beautiful, and the tone is well established. Those who haven't read the original book may have no clue, although I didn't understand the original book very well.

Everyone has their own forest, maybe we've never been there, but it's always there and always will be there. Those who are lost are lost, and those who meet will meet again. In addition to describing the impulse of primitive lust, there is also this passage in the original book that I particularly like: "Everyone has a forest of his own in his heart. Lost people are lost, and those who meet will meet again." The movie was indeed not shot. good.

  • Naoko: Please remember me forever. Please always remember that I existed and was here by your side. Will you promise?

    Toru Watanabe: I promise I'll always remember.

  • Toru Watanabe: With each passing season, I grow father away from the dead. Kizuki remains 17. Naoko remains 21. For eternity.
