JAZZ's loneliness has nothing to do with JAZZ

Familiar with different music modes, except for electronics, there is almost no mode that I am against. I firmly believe that it is only a matter of time, one day, I will be familiar with all forms of music, listening is also a systematic project. The
earliest JAZZ concept seems to be Murakami Haruki's book, most people in China say that his book reveals the plot of the petty bourgeoisie. But I think that the connotation of pure JAZZ does not exist, so I default. I don't have an intuitive impression to screen. During the winter vacation, I occasionally heard Li Jingzi's comments in IMAGE., until Bill Evans, now nina simone. I thought my life experience would not be able to decipher a song like this. All I have is the rhythm, the rhythm.
And about Tony Falls, it's a literal translation of the title, but in fact , it is indeed a person's name.
"Tony Falls, always, is called Tony Falls." Tony's father was a JAZZ musician, Tony's mother died three days after giving birth to him. Tony was an orphan, Because his father was always wandering, acting. So, he was an orphan.
Tony had an ability that stood out, copying. He was growing up and became an illustrator. He didn't know anything but survival, including drawing Painting---for him it was just a means of survival. Until he met a woman who was 15 years younger than him. For the first time, Ni felt that he wanted to get married. He expressed his heart to her, she was a perfect A woman, only a little, likes to buy clothes, it's morbid.
"How should I say, I think most of her is born for clothes." Peaceful life, Tony found the meaning of life, he was free from loneliness. Until he couldn't bear it Wife's desire to buy.
"I think it's not just about money, but, do you really need so many clothes?" When she re-examined and receded some of the newly bought clothes. She just felt empty, and she began to understand why she had no Stop buying. "Is that just, to demonstrate my emptiness? It seems so..." So when she was about to go back and buy those clothes back, God took her life.
Tony was recruiting staff in the newspaper, The condition was to be able to wear his wife's clothes. He chose the one that resembled his wife the most. When the hired man saw his wife's room full of clothes, she cried. I still don't know why she cried, "I Just don't know what's going on, it's so weird...I've never seen so many nice clothes." But I think, that's not the reason, there must be something else....
Tony didn't hire her, Tony knew that he was destined to be alone. No matter how he struggled... Tony's loneliness was that he didn't know what loneliness was, he was always looking for something that wasn't lonely, or not, giving up There is hope. Maybe
he will solve the perverted loneliness by morbid means, or... always know that he has not mastered the correct method. I don't know what the method is to be immune to loneliness. There is no way to know. , helpless 99% of the time, all you have to do is find the answer yourself. But the strange thing is that the answer always likes to hide. Makes everyone look so stupid. "Mediocre" is a great description .

------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- I

like short movies, which leave room for people to think, and people always look at intuitive expressions The ability to think will degrade... This is why I always show resistance to commercial movies. The movie is
adapted from Haruki Murakami's novel, I have not read the original. Because I watched Shunji Iwai's work some time ago The subjective feeling formed is unfamiliar to Ichikawa's camera language at first. Ichikawa likes to use close-up shots, the kind of shots that are not only too close to accommodate the protagonist, but also almost blurred. Or details, but interspersed, is a large panorama, the kind of feeling that is big enough to accommodate everything. Ichikawa likes the horizontal cut scene, using all available occlusions, making the work more like a kind of original thing Ichikawa likes to freeze the frame, he reminds me of Anno Hideaki, different from the former's cutting corners, but the same artistic conception, a kind of simplicity that is almost omitted, expressing himself in silence The subject that needs to be expressed. It seems to be more friendly and easy to accept.
I don't know why music is specially mentioned in the promotional video. Compared with Shunji Iwai's background music, although Junji Ichikawa can use music so that it will not destroy the film itself, playing with music does not seem to be his forte. I do I really appreciate his language mode. The dialogue in the whole play is poor, only a few sentences are from the actors' mouths, and most of the others are narrated through narration. Because it is a novel adaptation, this can well protect the original work. The text is not ostentatious, nor procrastinated. I can't say whether he has faithfully restored the original book, but as far as the movie itself is concerned, is indeed a success.

    Loneliness is like a prison.

    Ichikawa Jun + Sakamoto Ryuichi + Murakami Haruki, the effect is amazing, basically relying on a single panning lens to transition to the dark place to complete all the subsections, editing, and more details are supplemented by Nishijima Hidetoshi's emotionless narration, and even the shape of the tail. They are all leaning on Haruki Murakami, which is almost a perfect form of novel adaptation. Although the whole movie is in motion, the look and feel is extremely quiet.

    Tony Takitani, Shozaburo Takitani: Was as slim as a single strand of hair.

  • Narrator: He found his home had been destroyed in the firebombing, and his parents and his only brother, lost to the same fate. In other words, he was then... utterly alone in the world.
