在稳健的叙事与带着复古风采的摄影中感受Bill Nighy简洁有力却又动人心弦的表演石黑一雄对于原版的改编采用了非线性叙事为什么舞蹈生的裆部都是湿的啊不仅是自身创作的artistic choice,也让这个从日常看到生命的故事有了新的气息抛开与原版的比较在古典气质的围绕下大雪纷飞的秋千上面对一生的喜怒哀乐珍重告别在那个时刻我突然明白为什么明白本片其实并不出彩却莫名地感受到心灵的共鸣--living is about moving towards death and disappearance gracefully today by today.
John Steinbeck // A fellow ain't got a soul of his own, just little piece of a big soul, the one big soul that belongs to everybody...I'll be all around in the dark - I'll be everywhere. // A man lives sorta - well, in jerks. Baby's born or somebody dies, and that's a jerk. With a woman, it's all in one flow, like a stream - little eddies and waterfalls - but the river, it goes right on. // Human being wouldn't live the way they do. Human being couldn't stand to be so miserable. // They're workin' away our spirits, tryin' to make us cringe and crawl, takin' away our decency.
