Directed by Shunji Iwai and starring Miho Nakayama, Etsushi Toyokawa and Takashi Kashiwabara, this romantic film tells the story of a silent and grand secret love that was discovered many years later.
The film used a lot of space to describe the youthful and ignorant feelings between two "Fujii trees" in middle school. The boy Fujii, who was a teenager, secretly loved the girl Fujii, but he didn't open his mouth to tell her.
Many years later, he died unexpectedly because of a mountain accident. His then fiancee, Hiroko Watanabe, wrote a letter according to the address of "Fujii Tree" in the classmate's book, but I didn't expect to receive a reply from Miss Fujii Tree. In more and more communication between Hiroshi Watanabe and girl Fujii, girl Fujii gradually discovered the self-evident intention of boy Fujii who was still a student.
As the hot comment below the Douban Love Letter described-"Those confessions that didn't open their mouths finally let you hear them."
The film is beautiful and fresh, and there are many classic shots in it.
For example, the boy Fujii wanted to express his confession by returning the book, but found that the timing was wrong. For example, when the boy Fujii was leaning against the window of the library to concentrate on reading, he looked up inadvertently.
As the lines in the movie describe: "People like him often look into the distance, and those eyes are always clear, which are the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen."
Although there is another sentence behind the line: "Maybe I think so because I like him."
But it is undeniable that Takashi Kashiwabara, known as "the last beautiful teenager at the end of the 20th century", really complements the beautiful and fresh film Love Letter.
An unspoken secret love, an epiphany after many years.
Fujii, a middle school boy, borrowed many books that few people read in the library just to write Fujii's name several times. Fujii, a middle school boy, hid the hidden thoughts on the back of the card and put them in the book, so that Fujii, a girl, could help him return the book.
[The students shouted at me dumbfounded: "Inside, inside the card!" "
As prompted, I read the card with Fujii's signature on it.
But the students are still shouting: "back off, back off!" " "
I don't know. I just flipped the cards.
I have nothing to say.
That's my portrait in middle school.
I suddenly found that they were peeking at my expression with relish.
I tried to put the card in my pocket while pretending to be calm. Unfortunately, however, my favorite apron has no upper and lower pockets. ]-"Love Letter"
If I had been brave, the result would have been different. If I persisted at that time, would my memories be unusual? In the end, I didn't say it, but you ignored it. ]-"Love Letter"
The film "Love Letter" adopts the narrative technique of recollection, the whole emotion is implicit and euphemistic, and the whole story narrative seems plausible.
Every sentence in the movie doesn't directly express like, but every sentence is like; Every word does not directly express regret, but every word is regret.
It is said that unrequited love is a lonely heart.
It seems that childhood likes are always associated with regrets.
