The theme of the adaptation of Haruki Murakami's novel is: "Beauty makes people despair"
Tony is the child of a jazz musician due to the death of his mother in the process of giving birth. Tony spent his childhood in the emotional indifference of his father. Tony grew up as a lonely painter. His loneliness has always accompanied him in his life. Created until he met a beautiful woman who was "born to dress up" and they got married. The wife was almost a perfect ideal partner. The only thing that bothered Tony was that his wife bought a lot of designer clothes, but the clothes and shoes were all on the wife. So fit and beautiful Tony tolerated his wife silently until later Tony said to his wife, "I would love to see you more and more beautiful but do you really need all these clothes?" I can't control myself, it's like an addiction." Wife promises Tony to quit shopping madness, but wife who doesn't go shopping feels empty, and she doesn't realize that life exists unless she keeps buying "beautiful clothes" in bulk The meaning of his wife's death, Tony, who has lost his beloved wife, plans to hire a woman who is the same size and shoe size as his wife to wear the clothes that his wife bought in large quantities.
This is a story about a lonely heart and an empty spirit. The wife does a lot of shopping because she cannot find the meaning of existence because of the lack of her heart. Tony was born lonely, and only seeks the connection and resonance of life in his wife who is passionate about fashion.
Tony is not emphasized in the film as a painter, but he is well aware of "beauty". As a woman who attracts Tony's attention, she is beautiful. He noticed it. He said "the clothes are on her as if she was born to wear them" It's the natural beauty of harmony and the wife's sense of lack is filled with "beauty" She can't stop searching for "beautiful things" and the girl who applied for the job offered by Tony walked into his wife's dressing room and burst into tears "I've never seen so many beautiful clothes at one time," she said.
Sensitivity and thirst for beauty lead to tragedy
The picture of the movie is clean and pure. It is an extremely quiet movie. It mainly discusses the loneliness and lack of people's hearts.
Beauty is a hopeless thing Beauty equals loneliness and want
