I just like this tune

If you like it so much, write it down.

On January 2, I went to Hong Kong to watch this movie. Accidentally got a notebook and postcards of #NorwegianForest#, I couldn't put it down. For #Norwegianwoods, it all started in high school.
In high school, I began to love literature and read all kinds of books. I was crazy about Haruki Murakami with my deskmate C. I remember that after lunch, we used to go to a small bookstore near the school to look for new books or stop there for a while to read, where I bought my first book by Haruki Murakami, aka #NorwayForest#. After college, I bought all Haruki Murakami's books and read them one by one. That's how I fell in love with Haruki Murakami. I have never seen Murakami's photos, and I was a little disappointed to see them later.

Every time I read a book, I always create a character in my mind. For readers who love #NorwegianForest#, everyone has their own Watanabe, Naoko, Midori, and Suzuko in their hearts.
It's been a long time since I read this book, and I vaguely remember some episodes and the personalities of the characters. When watching a movie, think slowly. We were watching the 12:00 noon show, sitting in the middle of the theater, and there were very few people in the theater. Haruki Murakami's language appeared in his ears again, and Watanabe, Naoko, and Midori appeared on the screen from their minds, visually appearing for the first time. And the song #NorwegianForest# that will keep circling in my head.
For the end, Watanabe called Midori from the phone booth, and Midori asked Watanabe, where are you. Watanabe seemed to have no idea where he was. I still remember this novel. Movies can never express the mood of a novel. Because everyone has their own interpretation of the novel and the image of the protagonist. But in any case, #NorwegianForest# represents a period of green time, that period of youth.

Muyue will live forever at 17 and
Naoko will live at 21.
Watanabe is getting further and further away from them,,,,

this film is set as IIB in Hong Kong, the first time between Watanabe and Naoko, in Naoko's small apartment on a rainy day. After the two passionately kissed, the camera swept across Naoko's bare shoulders. In my habitual thinking, I thought they were done, but the camera went to Watanabe to start undressing. It turned out to be just the beginning. . .
Remember this, it may also be that I have never seen a R-rated movie on the big screen. Although this is not R-rated, I do have a very different feeling when I watch it on the big screen, including those inertial thinking, or Cropped image.

What I love about Haruki Murakami is the tone of his writing. That seems to be the tune of a life. There is no other reason. Just love this tune. It was an afternoon like the sun came out after the spring rain.

Extended Reading

    I finally read "Norwegian Woods", which is indeed a bit sloppy. The narrative at the beginning is very messy, and those who haven't read the novel must be confused. On Naoko's twentieth birthday, Watanabe went to the Green House for dinner. The two main scenes seemed to be very flat. The most powerful details of Japanese movies have completely disappeared here. The script was a big failure, and Rinko Kikuchi didn't have the aura of Naoko at all. The movie made the appearance of the novel, but not the spirit of the novel, which is a pity.

Norwegian Wood quotes

  • Toru Watanabe: Hey, Kizuki. Unlike you, I've chosen to live. And to live the best way I can. I'm sure it was hard for you. But it's hard for me too. Because you killed yourself, leaving Naoko behind. But I will never abandon her. The reason is, I love her. I'm going to grow stronger. I'm going to grow up.

  • 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.
