After watching the Japanese version of "White Night Walk", what remains in my heart is deep despair and loneliness. Yukiho lost his only sun and could only live alone in lies. Although he was angry about Yukiho and Ryoji's behavior countless times during the watching process, he couldn't help but feel sad about their choice of living like this, just as Sasagaki, who finally knew the truth, asked them again and again why they were alive so much.
The misfortune of the family is the beginning of everything
"We don't have the sun on our heads, it's always night. But I don't feel dark. I feel that I need night so that I can survive. Although it is not bright, it's enough to let me go. You are my sun, the fictional sun, but it won't give up rising again tomorrow. It's my only hope. You are my sun, the fictional sun, but you can let the waves ripple and illuminate the way forward. It's my only sun."
This is a passage at the beginning of the first episode, almost throughout the whole play. The protagonist Yukiho and Ryoshi are each other's suns, but the sun is clearly bright and they can save each other, but why do they step by step on an irreversible path?
This is inseparable from their childhood experiences. The shadow of a child's childhood is enough to accompany them throughout their lives.
Yukiho's childhood was an alcoholic mother and forced to sell spring. Ryoshi's childhood was a mother with an affair and a father with a special hobby. The encounter between the two children brought sunshine to each other, but when Yukiho knew that Ryoshi was the child of his "guest", the only sunshine no longer existed. When Liangsi climbed through the ventilation duct to see the true side of his father, his heart must have collapsed. Two children kill their father and mother for each other, which is an unforgivable sin, and their future is destined from that moment on. Until the end, Liangsi was still wandering in the ventilation duct.
The painful Ryosi
Sagaki thinks they are evil and hold on to them for decades, but after the library aunt learned about their experience, she felt extremely distressed and said, "Isn't the parents wrong? " But is everything attributed to her parents?
Yukiho herself also thinks that all this is because of her parents. She envies and jealous of her friend Eriko who was born in a happy family and has a straightforward and sunny personality, so she easily got the likes of senior Shinozuka.
She believes that she can be happy if she was born in such a family, so she wants to destroy this happiness. She wants others to experience her pain.
At this time, she no longer hurt others to cover up her past, but her incomplete heart itself bears the fruit of evil.
childhood Liangsi helped his mother cover up the truth of his affair for the sake of family harmony, which made him withdrawn and unwilling to go home every day. The acquaintance with Yuki made him think he had found a similar person. He cut out a white lotus for her, and she gave him the moon in the water. They walked hand in hand in the sun, but happiness was always short-lived.
Ryosi witnessed his father hurting Yukiho he liked. Angry, he stabbed his father with the scissors he carried with him. He was frightened silly, but Yukiho held the scissors and said to him with a smile: " So, it's me who killed him. ". He was so panicked that he ran away like that.
That's it, he became Yukiho's ghost with a sense of guilt, atonement for his young behavior.
The bond between the two
Many people want to know the most after watching "White Night Walk" is whether Yukiho has really loved Ryosi?
Personally think that Yukiho is not just love for Ryoshi. In the play, Yukiho said it countless times, she only has Liang, she wants to hold hands with Liang for a walk in the sun. Of course, these words may also be just to use Liangsi. Due to her lack of childhood, her behavior may be too extreme and cannot be understood by the "normal" viewpoint, but her love for Liangsi and her use of Liangsi are not inconsistent. They are the existence of knowing the truest side of each other.
They made an appointment to walk in the sun after the time limit
So what about Ryoji to Yukiho? There is no doubt that it is love. This kind of love is mixed with atonement. She wants to give Yukiho happiness. When she discovered the impossible, he was willing to exist as a ghost, only hoping to see Yukiho happy. Even if you have to give your life.
Although they were unable to walk in the sun until the end, Ryosi's child held hands and Yukiho in the sun as a substitute for him, which made up for a little regret.
Desperate redemption and sin bond
The TV series shows that the two people use their best to protect each other, thus forming a nearly desperate bond. This bond is accompanied by sin and eternal. Even if Ryoji finally protects Yuki with his life, this bond will accompany Yuki for the rest of his life.
What will happen to Yukiho without the protection of Ryoji? I think she has lost the only sun and can only walk in the darkness.
Justice police officer
Officer Sagaki is a controversial character in this drama. Many people think that if he does not insist on investigating this case, Yukiho and Ryoshi will not commit more crimes to cover up the truth.
But from the perspective of a policeman, isn’t it his obligation to find out the truth of the case? A policeman who is no longer young, endured the pain in his legs, and even stopped being a policeman afterwards, but he was still day after day, year after year, just to find out the truth of the case. What a respectable person this is.
Just imagine, even if he doesn’t pursue the truth, can Yukiho and Ryoji happily walk in the sun without committing those crimes?
Sagaki at the end, looking at Ryoshi who was desperate, he just felt sorry because he felt that if he had brought his two children to justice earlier, he would have saved them earlier, rather than one step or one step wrong.
casting
In the play, Yukiho's childhood casting was very surprising. Her eyes and temperament were very similar to those of Ayase Haruka, who grew up. Their eyes were like cats, cunning and cold. The little girl's acting skills are also very contagious and very distressing.
And senior Shinozuka is played by Takashi Kashihara. Although he no longer has the youthful feeling in "Love Letter", he is still charming and this character is also very outstanding.
TV series adaptation
Japanese drama version of "White Night Walk" made people know the truth from the beginning. This is different from the novel, but it is very suitable for the expression of the TV series and supplements many hidden lines in the novel, which is very reasonable. The characters and plots portrayed in the are much gentler. Yukiho, played by Ayase Haruka, is not such a cold and ruthless witch. Ryoji gives people a feeling of sunshine and kindness at the beginning.
After the interpretation of the actors and the expression of the picture language, this is already an excellent film and television work different from the original style and is worth watching.
