Type: Plot/Love

Douban score: 8.9

Directed by Shunji Iwai and released on 1995, this movie is a kind of enjoyment in terms of both pictures and music. As for the plot, director Iwai's grasp of the intensity of youth theme is really accurate. With only one stroke, the color overflowed the lens, and the audience's heart jumped out and entered the world in that lens together.

The film begins with a scene where people worship Fujii. Long after Fujii died unexpectedly, his fiancee Hiroko Watanabe still couldn't get over it, so she copied Fujii's childhood home address and wrote a letter to Fujii, only "How are you? I'm fine, but I don't want to accidentally send it to Fujii, a girl with the same name and surname in the student class. So, between you and me in the letter, the girl Fujii's memory of the teenager Fujii slowly overflowed with dusty memories, and she remembered the stubborn and silent teenager. And two people also gradually discovered the secret that young Fujii never exported. ...

In the movie, Miho Nakayama plays two roles alone, a quiet blog and a lively tree. On the lens, Bo Zi uses a large number of stable long lenses, and the clothes are basically single dark colors, while the trees are all sports lenses, and the clothes have more patterns and colors. It is very interesting to show the personality differences of two people to the audience imperceptibly through the collision of lenses. There is also a teenager Fujii, a teenager under the curtain of the library. He stood in the sun, drifting in the wind, and seemed to be the dream lover that girls could not meet in those years. At the end of the film, Nvshu opened her library card and saw the portrait, which is definitely one of the classic scenes in the history of film.

I read a love letter once when I was a student, but I only remember the hazy secret love and the happy ending. This is after revisiting. This story is more about life and death, memories and goodbye than unrequited love and love. Bo Zi shouted to the snow-capped mountains over and over again, "How are you? I'm fine. " Nvshu's grandfather braved the heavy snow and was taken to the hospital by his granddaughter. It seems that the reconciliation between Nuwa's mother and her grandfather and herself is precisely this. Death is always unacceptable, so people like to beautify it and escape it. Haruki Murakami wrote in Norwegian Forest that "death is not the opposite of life, but exists as a part of life." Reconciliation with death is especially important for the living. When the girl Fujii slowly sorted out the past, the memory of the young Fujii was like a love letter sent back to the world from death, and when it was patched up by the last painting, not only the adult Fujii, but all the viewers were moved to tears.
