After recently watching sadistic dramas such as "Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost" and "Yanxi Raiders", Bajie, who was abused to the point of being haggard, finally watched a pure love movie that was enough to be resurrected with blood - "Commemoration of the Hand".
The standard healing department pure love movie, an unforgettable memory that takes place on a high school campus, the moment the Japanese background music sounds, it seems to feel full of sweetness.
"Nian Nian Te Ji" is adapted from the best-selling novel "I want to eat your pancreas", once thought it was a horror movie, Bajie, after watching the premiere, could not help but secretly wipe tears, the original seemingly thrilling alias actually buried tears.
(Some spoilers are covered below)
The film begins with the memories of Haruki Shiga (Shunsuke Oguri), an adult Haruki who was sent by the group leader one day to help sort out books in the library, where he met a student who resembled his young self, and the long-sealed memories slowly opened.
As a teenager, Haruki Shiga (Akira Kitamura), who was originally one of the most inconspicuous high school students in his class, stumbled upon the secret that his popular classmate Sakura Yamauchi (Miwa Hamabe) was suffering from a pancreatic terminal illness.
The two people with very different personalities gradually approached because of this secret, and finally spent the last time of Sakura's life together.
If there is only a finite length left in life, how do you want to spend this time?
Bajie tried to list the wishes she wanted to complete, but found that one A4 piece of paper was not enough, but Sakura only listed a few simple wishes.
After spending all your savings, traveling with a guy who is not a boyfriend, trying out drinks, etc., every goal to be accomplished is the most desired desire of a high school girl.
Accompanied by Haruki, Sakura fulfills most of her wishes. On her way to Kyushu, Sakura uses truth or dare games to try to open her heart to the lonely Haruki.
Because of the secret about the pancreas, and because of this trip, the two have changed from classmates who have never talked to each other to a state of friendship above youda and not being full.
The question of "eating the pancreas" in the film appears three times, and each time it is a testimony to haruki and Sakura's relationship, and as the plot develops, it has multiple meanings.
The first time in the library, the sick Sakura joked to Haruki, "I want to eat your pancreas", because she heard that in ancient times, people believed that if they were sick, they would make up for whatever they wanted, and people with pancreas like herself needed to eat pancreas to supplement it, and maybe they would get better. Haruki says "neuropathy" in his mouth, but secretly searches for information about pancreatic terminal illness in the middle of the night.
The second time on the journey between the two of them, Sakura said, "Eat my pancreas, because then my soul and life can live together in your body."
Your companionship is too brief, changed form, and still exists.
The third time was after Sakura was seriously ill and hospitalized, Haruki typed a long text message "You are cute, optimistic, positive..." Finally chose to delete, sending only one sentence "I want to eat your pancreas." ”
Accompany you for a ride, read you for a lifetime.
This cryptic confession that only two people understand, Sakura did not receive it, but her influence on Haruki has always existed, just Sakura's casual words "Shiga classmate, you can be a teacher in the future." Haruki has been working as a teacher since graduation, and even returned to her alma mater, where Sakura met, as a high school teacher.
12 years after his separation from Sakura, Haruki stumbles upon a letter Sakura left to him in the library, and it turns out that Sakura's greatest wish is related to herself. As long as you can finally discover my wishes, it is not too late to complete them in 12 years.
"It is more valuable to spend the rest of the time with important friends, thank you for spending the last of my life with me, it is very happy to meet you, and please be happy." 」
Just like Sakura began to write the "Comorbidity Library" (a diary of living with the disease) since he fell ill, you recorded your life, I recorded the memories about you, thank you, changed my life, and finally I wanted to be you.
At the end of the story, Haruki fulfills Sakura's last wish, and learns to slowly open her heart to others from the beginning of loneliness, and expresses her memories and thoughts with Kyoko, Sakura's former friend.
In the movie, Sakura gives Haruki a copy of "The Little Prince" as a gift, in fact, Haruki is like the little fox in "The Little Prince", smart, brave but difficult to get out of his own world. Sakura is the "Little Prince" himself, who has domesticated the little fox and learned to be brave from the little fox.
This is a typical Japanese pure love movie, the cherry blossoms falling in school, the sunlight shining through the glass in the library, and the girl who looks like an angel, these are all Haruko's memories of high school life.
Each line is familiar sensationalism, "Cherry blossoms will wither, people will leave, but memories will not." Meeting you and changing each other is proof of being alive. ”
"We didn't meet by chance, nor was it fate, we all came to this day by our own choices."
Although the tone of sadness is set from the beginning of the film, the moral conveyed reveals the beauty, rather than painfully abandoning oneself and lamenting the injustice of fate, it is better to make good use of the rest of life and enjoy the beauty of every day.
In addition to the sensational plot is enough to tear up, several leading actors have also sucked a large wave of fans. As an adult, Haruki is played by Oguri Shun, and as long as you have watched Japanese dramas, you will know this popular male god as long as you have watched The Spicy Fresh Master, "Fancy Man", "Gintama" and other masterpieces.
Some of the lonely and deep male protagonists in "Nian Nian Te Ji", as he told the story, his emotions were completely regulated by the male god, laughing and crying after watching the whole movie.
Kyoko, who became an adult, was played by Keiko Kitagawa, and although there were not many scenes, she was still the most shining role in the movie. Time doesn't seem to have left a mark on Kitagawa Keiko, as always, it looks good!
Koharuki's actor Kitamura Craftsman Hai, the lonely Haruki and the real Kitamura Craftsman Hai are so far apart that it is difficult to think that he was once a member of a rock band.
Sakura's actor Hamabe Miha once starred in the manga adaptation of the Japanese drama "Genius Mahjong Girl", the second contact with the novel adaptation of the drama, the degree of completion is also superb, under the cherry blossom tree Hamaba Miha seems to jump out of the screen, sweet smile directly hit the heart of Bajie ~ ~
On September 14, this tear-jerking movie "Commemoration of the Hand" will be released in China
