Since the birth of film, literature is its mother and foundation, literature provides the source of creation for film, and film also gives literature a new life.
Literature is abstract, using the beauty of blank space to provide readers with imagination space, awakening thinking power to let readers take the initiative to output.
The film is figurative, providing the audience with an audiovisual experience in the form of sound and color, and presenting vitality for the audience to passively receive.
Examples of literature and film rushing in both directions are not uncommon, whether it is the classic domestic film "Alive", "Tea House", "Big Red Lantern Hanging High", or the classic overseas film "Little Woman", "Pride and Prejudice", "Anna Karenina"... They all use light and shadow to give new life to words, and in the process of figurative text space, they continue to be ideological, extend their artistry, extend their commerciality and entertainment.
Below, we feel the charm of literature and film in both directions from these film and television works that are being premiered and broadcast exclusively.
【 Hanalei Bay 】
The film is based on haruki Murakami's novel of the same name, Hanalei Bay, included in Haruki Murakami's short story collection Tokyo Kittan.
The world is majestic, it is difficult to carry the weight forward; life is vast, and it is only right to let go.
Haruki Murakami's "Tokyo Strange Tan Collection" has a remarkable postmodernist style, the most important manifestation of which is the two-line structure, he creates two worlds on this shore and the other shore, breaking the fence between reality and non-reality, using five different stories to make people briefly detached from reality and re-examine life from the other shore.
Among them, "Hanale Bay" was adapted into a film, and the film and the novel tell the same story: the son of a single mother was unfortunately attacked by a shark while surfing in Hawaii's Hanale Bay, and every year on the day of her son's death, the mother would come to this beach, until one day ten years later, she heard that someone had seen a son-like figure and began an almost crazy search on the island...
The plot of the film is as light as the breeze by the sea, but the psychological fluctuations and emotional changes of the heroine are presented with restraint and strength, and the calm is silent. The film and the novel use the story of this mother to tell us that not everyone can reconcile with the world, but the power of forgetting is our indispensable ability.
