Ten years ago, when Xue Dingxun and Iwai Shunji filmed "Love Letter" together, he must have been brooding about the disappointing ending. Therefore, ten years later, he will be so obsessed with shooting such a movie with the same tone as "Love Letter", even the tone and the sense of picture are similar. And this time, it hit me even harder than "Love Letter".
The film is a sad love journey. Dying love and lingering nostalgia for dying love. Large sections of piano, strings and guitar SOLO hesitantly and slowly interweave the emotion and love in the film. And my heart is also heavy, and I can't dilute this heavy emotion.
The dominant line is the memory of the hero played by Takao Ozawa. This is both a farewell to love and a search for love. This cowardly man, who has been afraid to face the death of his lover for a long time, his sad expression has moved people many times... For him, love is only given once in its entirety, and everything after that is just fragments.
Many foreshadowings in the film itself are too obvious: for example, the love of the uncle in the photo studio. And the handling of other details is simple but excellent: for example, the kiss between the two children across the isolation hood of the ward; for example, the line of words on the table in the chemistry room; for example, those before-and-after scenes... can't be Said to be desperate, but it really hit people's hearts. When the two children took their wedding photos in the photo studio, time froze, and the years fell from the sky, gently but shattered.
Another hidden and real main line is Aki Hirose played by Ami Nagasawa. Although the publicity said that Ritsuko played by Shibazaki was the heroine, the publicity was only for commercial reasons. This is actually (and just) a story about a girl named Aki. About her love and sorrow; about her smile; about her short life; also about—those about her, the time that was severely stretched... And my heart is slowly falling in love with her like this Afterwards, he was hit hard again.
Everything passed away like this quietly in peace... Yaji died, at least before old age or illness changed her appearance more... Her beauty and purity were all melted into time and were not forgotten. This sub-ji is too beautiful and too nostalgic. Xing Dingxun did not pick the wrong person, only the departure of this one Aji reminds people of a room on a rainy day, lighting a candle and listening to the sound of the rain alone...
Love is too beautiful and should be cherished. Therefore, because of knowing that love is destined to be short-lived and sad, the courage to love is gradually dying. If you can, I would like to have not seen this movie... Or, I didn't watch this movie on a lingering rainy day when the summer passed away and the autumn solstice... That would save the feeling of hurting the autumn, and the secret sadness. Excuse.
I've been thinking about the few lines of Pushkin's poems written in 1825 -
if life deceives you / no need to worry, no need to be sad / even if the time is dark you have to be calm / please believe that a good day will eventually come to
the heart and always hope The future/reality will inevitably seem boring/everything is gone, become the past/everything will be a good memory
but a good day has not come, no HAPPY ENDING. Illness is hateful because it takes not only life but also emotion. Perhaps for this reason, that ending lacks some sighing regrets and deep aftertastes.
Maybe, I am too obsessed with the feeling of sighing; maybe, I am too concerned about the touch of a pure love; or it is because I like Aki too much, so I feel that I should turn around and not face this movie... A movie about the ephemeral love is too sad, not to mention that there are too many childhood emotions in it. Sing a dirge of youth, it will not be the teenagers who cry, only those who are dying of youth are weeping in a low voice.
The uncle in the photo studio said, "All the memories are unforgettable."
