Love is hard to open in the heart - "In the Shadow"
Today, let's talk about the movie "Shadow".
Title Beneath the Shadow (2019).
Adapted from Masayuki Numata's novel of the same name, "Shadow" reflects the lives of people before and after the Great 3.11 Japan Earthquake through a detailed description of the protagonist's daily life.
Tsuyoshi Ayano and Ryuhei Matsuda skillfully show the natural reactions of individuals when they encounter many problems in work, emotion, and life.
The 2011 earthquake of the Pacific coast of Tōhoku, also known as the Great East Japan Earthquake, was the fifth largest earthquake in history, with a magnitude of 9.0. The earthquake caused a huge tsunami that devastated Iwate, Miyagi, Fukushima and other areas in northeastern Japan, and even triggered the only seventh-degree nuclear accident in human history, the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant nuclear leakage accident.
A large number of literary works have appeared in the context of earthquakes, which are called earthquake literature. "Shadow" is such a seismic literary work, set in Iwate Prefecture, the most severely affected area of the 3.11 East Japan earthquake, and depicts the friendship between the thirty-year-old hero and his colleagues.
When Makoto Numata's "Shadow" won the award, the domestic media reported it more subtly. The headline is "Friendship Novel in the Context of the Great East Japan Earthquake< In the Shadow > Won the Wasagawa Prize", the earthquake is the background of the novel, the novel integrates a large number of same-sex feelings, and carefully depicts the inner world of the person.
At that time, takagi Nobuko, a judge of the Wasagawa Award, gave an evaluation that this work depicted the collapse of the inner world of human beings from the perspective of the 3.11 earthquake, and the eerie horrors of human hearts and nature were highly echoed in "Shadow".
The protagonist, Akiichi Imano, was transferred from Tokyo to Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture due to a job transfer. In the process of slowly integrating into the new environment, Akiichi Imano met his colleague Hinata Nobuhiro, and the two quickly became acquainted, and their feelings quickly warmed up, not knowing whether it was friendship or love, and gradually became more and more intense.
Men express their feelings in a more restrained way, especially Asians, and they do not express their chests directly from the beginning. Instead, we must be careful and careful to test, constantly trying to retract, and we must ensure that we are foolproof before we dare to show it. The film slowly progresses under such a tone.
The original novel is a same-sex novel, and the adapted film is naturally filled with a large number of ambiguous same-sex content.
Just by looking at the footage of the film, you can feel the director's intentions. A large number of shots focus on the nudes and lower limbs of the actors, full of hints, as if to remind the audience that this is a film with a strong base rot.
Lang has feelings for Lang intentionally, and before meeting someone who is thrilled, it seems that most people firmly believe that they are heterosexual.
Nichiasa Ishiba is extremely talented in seduction, smoking, fishing, drinking, eating, watching movies, chatting, these ordinary things, after being done by Hiasa Noboru became tempting. After being tempted, Akiichi Imano began to doubt his doubts about life, and people who had never had doubts about their sexual orientation began to think about the relationship between love and gender.
Feelings can be cultivated, sexual orientation can be changed, and the most important thing is to master the technique of seduction and the method of cultivating feelings. A few years later, Akiichi Imano used the same number of paths against others, and it was also particularly useful.
Before the earthquake broke out, no one had ever thought about what life would look like after the disaster. "Shadow" does not use pen and ink to describe earthquake disasters, but through disasters to tell the audience, rather than suddenly enlightened after the disaster, it is better to cherish the life in front of you, dare to love and hate, and do not leave regrets. Feelings are universal, not limited to gender.
The earthquake made Akiichi Imano understand his heart, but unfortunately, things are not human, and he did not take the opportunity at the beginning. Leaving one alone to regret it will not help.
Amorous since ancient times empty hatred,
Love is hard to open in the back of your heart.
