An adventure about youth

Spent an afternoon watching the movie, even though it's only 133 minutes long. I like the large scenes in Japanese literary films. For example, in this film, the large green grass and Naoko and Watanabe walked in the middle of the summer morning with their shoulders in their arms, and the dew wet their hair, which made me feel very warm. Perhaps our youth is not as tortuous as theirs, and we need to face life and death, but it is unrestrained, unscrupulous, and will never return. Since director Chen Yingying has created such a youth image for us, why can't we calm down? Accept that, in my opinion, youth has infinite possibilities, not what we always have in our minds.
I remember Shunji Iwai's "Flower and Alice" that I saw a long time ago. It is also a movie about youth, but it is not the same. I like the relationship between Naoko and Watanabe, although in the end, Naoko didn't fall in love with Watanabe, but it didn't affect their relationship. There is also Midori, a elf-like girl. I was moved by the paragraph she said to Watanabe on the phone: "

...You can do anything to me, but you can't hurt me."

If it is humble, it is an incomplete love, but Midori is still happy, she finally got what she wanted.

There is no right or wrong in youth, as long as it can be reproduced in future memories, it is worth it. Whether it is love or friendship, it is our most precious collection.

Bless the youth, the years are quiet.

    I don't want to live anymore when I see Watanabe-kun. I would say that once a good novel is made into a movie, the movie will easily die miserably. Too charming words cannot be reflected in images

    After dragging it for a while, I didn't have any desire to watch it. The heroine was too far from what I had in mind. It would be great if it was Aoi Yu and Miyazaki Aoi. Rinko Kikuchi is the girl who shocked me in the Tower of Babel, people have already exposed it = =

Norwegian Wood quotes

  • Storm Trooper: Mind if I give you a piece of advice?

    Toru Watanabe: Sure.

    Storm Trooper: Don't feel sorry for yourself. Only degenerates feel sorry for themselves.

  • Toru Watanabe: Nothing can heal the loss of a beloved. No truth, no sincerity, no strength, no kindness can heal that sorrow. All we can do is live through the sorrow and learn something from it. But whatever we learn will be of no help in facing the next sorrow that comes along.
