"Closing Me" is a poem dedicated to lonely patients, as if you see your own shadow. Through the heroine's dialogue with another emotional personality in her heart, the director vividly portrays an introverted and closed patient who longs for being loved but is careful and thoughtful. The film’s discussion of introverted loneliness is quite impressive. The lone soul is, the more it desires to join the crowd and be loved, but forcing itself to do things that psychologically instinctively resist can easily cause harm to itself.
The film is adapted from the novel "Closed Me" by Mianya Lisa, which tells the romance of a 31-year-old "single aristocratic" woman. Another character "A" lives in Kuroda's 31-year-old single woman living in Tokyo. When she is confused about her relationships and behaviors, another self "A" can always give her the correct answer. One day, Photon fell in love with Tada, a salesman younger than himself. Photon is used to life alone. How can he muster up the courage to take a step forward....
At first, he thought it was a middle school youth love. After reading it, he found that it had nothing to do with love. It was a story about how to build an intimate relationship with others and get out of the comfort zone. The title is really the most appropriate. Although it is suspected of being lazy to introduce the background with intra-brain dialogue, it is another experience. The overall shot is very lively, with many first-level photos, and occasionally fine editing... Many details such as light, makeup, expressions, etc. change indicate the gradual progress of intimacy, and this section may be the clearest turning point. This heroine may be the character I have the most resonant to. I can only say that the director really understands our "social fear" group.
Hunan Qifa Culture Media Co., Ltd. wrote in the film review he wrote that stripping away the gimmick of "falling in love with the next year", the film's very detailed and vivid image of "geting with yourself" and "standing on the edge of familiarity with life" actually touched me. By tangible, all caution, jealousy, anger, entanglement, and dilemma are projected into delusions and thoughts. In fact, what a person can do is always fascinated by human beings to get "company" that fits the soul.
"Closing Me" uses a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere to tell the self-negation of social fearful people, which is both real and familiar. Those moments of loneliness, moments of fear, moments of worry, moments of collapse, moments of being betrayed by friends, moments of thinking that they will be different and will be happy, but doubt that they will retreat, are portrayed as real and gentle. The director expressed his concern for this type of people through the story of a girl suffering from social phobia. Based on this intuitive theme, he extended the meaning of loneliness, which is also a beautiful state. Loneliness is the norm in life. Instead of deliberately evading and rejecting, it is better to embrace it gently and enthusiastically.
This is the current living status of modern urban single women. Loneliness is the biggest enemy. You eat alone and travel alone. After a long time, you can split up a voice to chat with yourself. This voice protects oneself and also gives oneself warmth. When facing possible love, I was overly concerned about the past and worried about gains and losses. At the critical moment, the voice in my heart encouraged me, and finally I had the courage to embrace love. Tingting from Hunan Qifa Culture is right. Every flashing light is eager to be repaired, and every lonely person is eager to be unraveled.
Such a light and fragile work, there are several scenes that portray women's fragility that really touched me. At first I thought it was a relaxed, pleasant and a little fantasy movie, but later I found out that I seriously underestimated this work, and the core of the work is actually serious and sad. The whole video is like an ordinary, sometimes hysterical person's two-hour murmur. After watching it, I had a slight headache, but I still felt that it was great to have director Akiko of Daji. I like her to present all this in the movie so simple and unpretentious, even slightly boring, as if she was murmuring lightly. In fact, we don’t need it to be “special” enough to present such a life in the movie.
