    It was Ryuichi Sakamoto's "Solitude" that made this film. I didn't know the source before. I heard it many times in various afternoons, on bus seats, and on walks. The feeling of loneliness melted like water. Now what? , as he said, returning to loneliness is more scary than long-term loneliness, but it seems like this is just a Murakami-style excuse, isn't it? How can our loneliness come back? It's always been...

    It is suitable for people who have lost love in the middle of the night. I am reminded of the final debate between men and women on the face of others; women can wander between different identities and appearances, while men must cling to the real one. In fact, what is the difference between a man who likes a woman who can only see the outer shell, and a woman who frankly likes many empty clothes? Men always have to learn to regret, and the music of the professor teaches us how to face...

    Plenty of monologues; tonal loneliness. I haven't seen Murakami's original work yet, but I think it doesn't have a cinematic feel even if I take a large portion of the original text. The transformation of space in the panning shot (the transition created by the occlusion, including in the beginning, in the narration, eating Tony looked up and said something to...

    Put an end to the characters and environment of fireworks, alienated interpersonal relationships, and highly restore the temperament of the novel and Murakami. Visualized fiction amplifies fetishes. I can't say I like the story, but the form is very complete and beautiful. The always-present voice of Hideo Nishijima and the actor's opening narration to the audience, coupled with the enclosed spaces, have a sense of stage. Because the soundtrack is so familiar, the movie feels like it's made for...

    I followed Sakamoto Ryuichi's OST to find this movie. When the music and the video penetrate each other, it conveys a double sense of loneliness. The emotional displacement of urbanites shows the sustenance of materials and the alienation of interpersonal relationships. The camera pans and the low-pitched narration of Hidetoshi Nishishima is like flipping through Murakami's novels. The male protagonist tossing and turning on the floor is too...

    Because Murakami

    I don't know if it's Sakamoto's soundtrack, but it's normal, because there may be only a few mainstream Japanese soundtrack masters, some famous directors like Humanity and Quiet like to use them, and they seem to make music because of the movie. It's a good fusion.
    Of course, I think it's because...

    If you still say that someone likes Murakami, there must be a group of people who come to beat you and another group of people who roll their eyes at you. It is said that there are three treasures in a prostitute's bag in a certain place: lipstick, TT, and Murakami's book (another version is Wang...
