我們都無法成爲大人

Image
上個月在網絡上看到了一部Netflix的日本電影預告，片名為《我們都無法成爲大人》。 電影是由同名小説改編的故事，背景橫跨90年代中期的日本至現代的愛情與勵志故事。我本身對日本文化在某程度上可以説是中毒已深；90年代末是我最早接觸日本文化的年代。就以這兩點而言，這部電影對我有絕對的吸引力。再加上lan文青的名字，這部作品足以進入我的必看清單。就單單以作品名字而言，《我們都無法成爲大人》散發著類似《秒速五厘米》、《言葉之庭》以及《那些年，我們一起追過的女孩》的氣息；寫實并且帶著遺憾的美好。 上個周末，很慶幸的在Kinokuniya找到了這本實體書。對上一次看實體書應該是兩年前由林悅所寫的《彳亍地平綫》。 《我們都無法成爲大人》原本是一部網上發佈的小説，在2019年作者燃殼（燃え殼）整合了全部節章，出版了實體書。作者本身並不是小説家，從事著媒體工作，在Twitter上有20多萬名追蹤著。其中一名追蹤者樋口毅宏（小説家）曾經很任性的説到如果作者不寫小説的話就要與其絕交。作者也回復了一句“不絕交”而開始了小説家之路。《我們都無法成爲大人》是作者的第一本出版的作品，然而卻獲得了許多榮譽。這部作品在日本被譽爲最沉默的暢銷小説，更是登上了Amazon.jp文學小説Top1。  在閲讀前我也很好奇“沉默”和“暢銷”是怎麽畫上等號的。 翻看實體書的感覺就是爽，222頁的書本一點也不重。周六晚上，在實在熬不住睡意的情況下看了大概一半，第二天在中午前就把整部小説看完。這個速度應該不算快吧，我可是有仔細的看完每一個句子，甚至連標注都不放過。然而爲了不讓自己不經意的漏掉細節，在下午時我又再次翻開書本，把整本小説重看一遍。這一次我可是有將所有細節，時間點都一一記錄下來。第二次的閲讀，確實令我更加瞭解作者想表達的心情（自我感覺良好）。 小説的内容就和其榮譽一樣 - 沉默。這是一部沒什麽驚天動地、蕩氣回腸，甚至連高潮起伏都很少的小説。然而就是這麽簡單的内容竟然消費了我整個周末。【我】和女主薰的第一次相遇是在1995年，一個網絡不發達的年代。雜志上的筆友專欄是【我】和薰的月老；【我】在專欄中發現了一個很有趣的名字“狗與商隊”小姐，剛好【我】知道這是指小澤健二的一首歌曲，於是二人便開始書信來往。 “筆友”一個對新生代來説即陌生又熟悉的詞匯。在沒有互聯網之前，書信就是最好的互聯網。換個方式說，網...

Bad Day

A lot of things happen today. Most of them not really good. I was planning to go for a blood donation at Cathedral of Holy Spirit this morning. The funny thing is I have no idea where is it. By just looking at the directions printed by David, I began my journey. May be I really do not have any directional sense.. it ended up that I spent more than 2 hours to get to my destination. The second bad thing, as I was walking into then church, there was this Indian fella approached me on a motorcycle. He said that his father's car was broke down and he is looking for foreman. He also mentioned that his h/p was out of battery and hope that I could give him a hand. Being too kind or you may say too dumb ass, I lent him mine. And the next thing you may guess it , he drove away with my h/p. I was a bit shocked and at the same time blaming myself for being too stupid. I should have seen it coming. I could have just walk away w/o even looking at him. Why am I so stupid? Anyway .. there is no...

Natsumi Step

This is a pretty old stuff. Some of you might have seen it before. For the ladies pls do not click on the explanation if you think you are not up to the creepy stuff .... ( I've already got scolded when I showed this 2 some of my friends) I put up the video version instead of the original flash file since it loads faster. What does Natsumi step means? Most ppl will think that Natsumi-chan got dump by her bf. Somehow she went through a mysterious journey and met with some new friends and finally let go of her past relationships and started to move forward. Well if you think this way, you are wrong .... So what does it means? You may refer to this site for the explanation (I'm a bit lazy to write the whole thing ... :p) and make sure you try out the omake (おまけ). Natsumi step means that she took a step and jump down from the platform and ended her life. Even though she was able to forget her bf at the end, she cannot proceed to heaven because of committing suicide. Or may b...
