Whoever said that Murakami's career flamed out after "Norwegian Wood," seriously needs their head examined. "The wind up bird chronicle, " is a stellar piece of literature. As well as "Kafka on the shore," and "What I talk about when I talk about running."
the only book worth reading by Murakami is NORWEGIAN WOOD. Read that book and you will understand why. End of a story. Case closed. But do read it before you flame me. His entire "career" after that book was staged managed by marketing execs in cahoots with bottom line spread sheets. And they purposefully kept Norwegian Wood out of the limelight and the market in the USA in order to create the "persona" to sell these other books. Read NW and you will understand that all the rest is mere hype.
guess im still not grown enough to understand this.
anyway, i dont think a 2-hr movie can perfectly deliver all what Murakami wants to say in his book, like just a slice of the story so dont criticise it so much.
however, i was not satisfied with the ending call at all. i was expecting something deeper than just that. When i read that part of the book, i cried, because i could feel the complete emptiness in Watanabe's soul but in this movie they made it too quick so i couldnt feel it.
@parisinblue oh the book... yes.. No wonder why readers usually get disappointed with the movie, or else on the brighter side, have some fun criticizing the two or simply enjoy a sweet reminisce of the moments you devour each page when you haven't reread it for a long time like what I did. :D
i love harukimurakami`s work , watanabe ' life is unacceptable for me though ..

I watched this on Aznv.tv, with subtitle. It's an interesting movie.
Does anybody know the song title played starting at 1:23:10? It's very beautiful, and I want to find it on the Internet and download it.

I think that most of us who have seen this, agree that the film merely comes across as a 'summary' of what the book has to offer.
