"Shadow": The man standing in the shadow

Briefly

The night is dark, and Akira Imano is about to leave. At that moment, a figure with his arms raised and a sense of familiarity rushed in front of Imano's car.

Imano hurriedly braked. The man scurried over and knocked on the glass. Imano fixed his eyes on it, and this person was not a bystander, but his former colleague Nishiyama.

Nishiyama awkwardly meets Imano. Imano saw that her face was tired, and he was not close to Nishiyama, so he did not ascend to the Three Treasures Hall, and sure enough, he heard Nishiyama's anxiety and asked him if he still had contact with the "headmaster"?

Having not heard the nickname for a long time, Imano was stunned at first. Nishiyama's reminder made him take the train of memories and instantly retreated back to a long, long time ago.

Imano remembered Hiroshi Hiasa, the man who was jokingly referred to by his colleagues as the "head of the class."

At that time, Akiichi Imano had just been transferred to a branch office where he was not familiar with life, and he slept every day until the daylight passed through the curtains, then got up, and then used a watering can to water the knee-high jasmine. Jasmine's leaves were as dark green as oil and as white as snow, and his life gradually passed in a flat and waveless way.

In addition to the landlord sometimes asking for a form or sending a tabloid, less contact with people, he is also taciturn in the club, for the proposals of the predecessors, only echoed.

Imano's life became different on that day, when he saw a man of his age who was smoking on the same day, and went to stop the road, and the factory building banned smoking.

Ichigo took his words as if they were the wind in his ears and didn't care at all. Later, after meeting several times, Hinata shoved a cigarette he had smoked into his hand.

At first Imano didn't notice that he was slowly caring about Hinata's appearance, maybe it was in front of the shelf, Imano was counting the goods, Hinata blindfolded his jokes, maybe it was when his colleagues were practicing sacrificial dances, Imano alone saw the Hinata sitting on a chair, observing the people in front of him.

It may be that they are similar in age and have similar personalities, and the two gradually become closer. Imano says he quit smoking, but Hinata says he can't quit smoking.

Hinata went to find Imano with a drink, often together, drinking in the middle of the night, or going out fishing when the weather was clear.

Fat white insects in the fishing hook through the body will burst out of the transparent liquid, pomegranate to break open directly to bite a bite, do not eat one by one, when walking in the forest may wish to look around, maybe there are abundant water and grass, suitable for fishing places.

These memories are like frames of photographs embedded in Imano's memories.

Suddenly, one day, Hinata resigned.

Imano heard from other colleagues. Hinata's resignation meant that he was stripped from his own world. Imano returned to the days when he had been conformist.

"What a cunning man, he knocked on the door, but did not take the initiative to push the door open."

His stagnant days were broken again in a dull daylight.

Imano couldn't believe it, and Hinata appeared outside his house with a slight smile. According to Hinata, he got a new job and is still a local MVP. In any case, the two became friends again and resumed their friendship.

Until one day, his relationship with Hinata changed strangely.

On stormy nights, Hinata comes looking for Imano with a sake in her hand. The two of them drank, and when it was time to get drunk, they each found a comfortable place to fall asleep.

After a long time, Hinata woke up, his eyes moved slowly, and then he got up, crept to Imano's side, and then reached out and grabbed a snake creeping on Imano's body.

At this moment, Imano also narrowed his eyes at Hinata, he did not have a trace of surprise, did not have a trace of fear, and chased Hinata's movements like a spotlight.

Kirito threw the snake out, and Imano's eyes were still firmly locked on Hinata. The sun is shallow as if it is caught in the fog of five miles, and I don't know its meaning. The expression on his face loosened slightly, as if words were about to burst out.

Like an erupting volcano, Imano pounced on Hinata and did what he had dreamed of. He kissed Hinata on the lips.

"Your lips, your soul, your eyes, your arms, your palms, your heart and your love, are mine."

The wind and rain are low, and the thunder is faint.

Hinata squeezed Imano hard and pushed him to the ground. He pretended to be indifferent and fell asleep with his back to Imano. Nothing was wrong with each other, it was the tail note of that kiss.

When the night returns, the wind and rain will pass, and the mirror-like calm heart lake will reverberate in a circle of garnets after being blown by the wind.

Imano woke up in the glimmer of the morning light and looked around, not seeing any trace of the sun. He stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and pulled open the moving glass. Hinata sat on his side, looking into the distance, as if no one or anything had anything to do with him.

One day, Imano returns home to find Hinata sitting on the stairs. Hinata said that the performance declined, and it would take another customer to keep the job. Needless to say, Imano is that customer. After Imano signed the contract and insurance policy, Hinata did not say a word and left in a hurry.

"I know you're in trouble, but I'm doomed."

This is the second time that Hinata has left Imano's world. In the days that followed, Imano and Hiasa did not meet again.

Nishiyama's words reminded him of the sun. He traces the origins of the sun, and when the truth is peeled off layer by layer, it often makes people feel disappointed and sad.

In the early years, Ri Qian did not go to college, cheated his family, collected living expenses, forged academic qualifications, borrowed money from colleagues, and did not pay off debts, and disappeared without a trace.

His father and brother were extremely disappointed in him, and his father treated him as a sinner, not only accusing him of concealing fraud and embezzling personal property, but also refusing to submit his list knowing that he was likely to die, just so as not to put pressure on others. The brother's communication with Hinata has changed from the previous closeness to the later strangeness, and then to the never-heard from him, becoming a veritable stranger.

Hinata never reappeared.

And Akiichi Imago will never forget the man who stood by the stream and smiled at him.

A brief analysis

The movie "Shadow" undoubtedly opens from the personal perspective of Akiichi Imano, and it focuses on exploring the inner world of the character "Akiichi Imago".

The cookie-cutter life is as monotonous, dull, and boring as the cicadas of summer. The emergence of Nichizen Noboru undoubtedly changed this situation.

As the camera, that is, Akiichi Imano's gaze, looks at Akihiro Higashi, Akichi Imano changes from the object being observed to the subject, and Akihito Hinata becomes the object.

He's so different.

Nichiasa Nobo does not abide by the rules, want to smoke when he wants to smoke, will not take into account the ideas of others, Nichiasa Nobo works very quickly, hands and feet, so colleagues will call him "head of class", Nichiasa Nobo does not care about the opinions of others, colleagues suggest that he cut his hair short, it will look a lot better, but he does not care, even Nishiyama raised his arms, ran to the car to stop the car the method is also learned from Nichiasa Noboru.

Imano followed Hinata and came into contact with things he hadn't done before, and he changed his way to face everything that was happening around him.

As Camus said, "It's too true that we rarely trust people who are better than us." We prefer to avoid interacting with them, but most often we confide in people who are similar to us and share our common weaknesses. Therefore, we do not want to change our weaknesses or become better, but only want to be pitied and encouraged in our path. ”

There are too many similarities between Imano and Norihiro Hiasa, so they are attracted to each other, but they are very different. Imano has been on the right path for too long, a random deviation will not cause a devastating effect, Hinata Norihiro has deviated from the normal track for too long, and an accidental redemption cannot bring him back to the normal track.

The film is just like the upper and lower parts of the Song Ci, with Nishiyama asking Imano about Hinata as the dividing point, the previous one is that Imano and Hyasa know each other, and the next is Thathino goes to pursue Hinata's hidden personal experience.

In the early stage, the sun was shallow in Imano's eyes, he did not have a face, and he was free to fish, eat outside, and chat, but in the later stage, he showed himself, and his eyes always revealed various complex emotions, like a huge beast lurking under a deep pool.

The section where Imano kisses Nichiasa is an important pivotal point for changes in the relationship between the two. Hinata's feelings thus became full and rich, like an unscanned Chinese herbal soup, flowing out of the color of asphalt and glowing with a bitter taste. Whether he loves Imano or not is debatable. At that moment, Hinata did not accept Imano's love from a good feeling, but he saw the despicable self in his heart.

After signing the contract, Hiasa more or less took advantage of Imano's admiration. Hearing that the admirer is deeply in trouble, and he can solve it within his own ability, Imano will not give in.

In the plot of night fishing, the two fight each other several times.

At first, Hinata accused Imano of parking his car in the wrong place, and ridiculed him for being picky about eating and sticking to small sections, but Imano did not give in, and every sentence was contradictory. Hinata also said the line that responded to the theme at this time, everyone has more than one side, showing one side, the other side is hidden in the shadows, and that side is the true self.

Hinata always stands in the shadows.

Wuthering Heights says, "If you exist in this world, then this world is meaningful to me no matter what, but if you are gone, no matter how beautiful the world is, it is only a desolate in my eyes, and I am a lone ghost." ”

At the end, When Imano finds another companion and looks back at the sun standing on the shore, it is already empty. To him, the sun was like an illusion in the sunlight, like a bubble on a turbulent current, like a rainbow trout that he had tried to grasp at the beginning, and when he came, he released it with relief.

The tone of the film is not to render the unforgettable feelings of life and death, on the contrary, it creates an atmosphere of summer shade and leisurely fishing, turning the past tactfully. (Text/Moonfall Star)
