Murakami was born in Kyoto, but raised in Kobe, and by 18 he was already living in Tokyo. It can be arbitrary to connect its birth place with his writing features.

Beautiful content

You dropped the “like and subscribe” part in such a way that you gained my subscription. Bravo brother

Nice presentation. I enjoyed it

Okay, that call out was funny, i think i will smash that like button and subscribe 😂

I'm reading it for the first time and wow what a story! Im so surprised how much this story has changed from the original text. Victor Frankenstein is actually a 19 year old college student who made a reincarnated lifeform in his dorm room.

Cute call to coment! Will do!

great video. I feel the video would feel a thousand times better if you didn't use stock music in the back. most game soundtracks would work better

I thought well done. WKW is tough to describe - but I tell people it is like a soap opera and jumping between stories or settings. Chunking Express was a nice introduction because it is only two stories largely set (there is some intentional overlay via cameo clip inserts) "story one" and then "story two". The step photography - the best way I image it is to fix the camera so that anything not moving is fixed .. then you film two separate actions - usually people - and then overlay that fix - think of it like a stage or room with one "action" running faster than normal speed, and the other you run slower than normal speed. It make the slow stand out like an eternity more, which the fast is gone so fast it cannot become a memory really.

I’m really interested in reading this author, but I know on the other channels the comments were, “I always read him when I’m depressed.” There were a lot of comments like that, and it barely made me leery of my time. But great video.

A lesson with a shot of humor. Like warranted.

what was the name of the sax tune you played in the middle of kowloon segment? awesome video

So far this year I’ve read Killing Commendatore, Kafka on The Shore, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, Hard-Boiled Wonderland, and Men without Women. Now I’m on South of the Border, West of the Sun. I’ve become entirely dedicated to finishing all of Murakami’s fiction books by the end of this year (12 left). My favorite part is going to the store to buy the next one. I don’t choose based on chronology, or any sort of logic. I just let my intuition decide - very fitting for Murakami, I think

I trust Dostoevsky because unlike many western philosophers he truly suffered deeply in his life. when one sees true evil and despair and continues living morally one has found something worth living for beyond themselves they find God

This video deserves a MILLION views and likes

Most people don't fit in our convenient boxes. 🤔

Isn't agnostic/atheist a oxymoron?

Your video about Dostoevsky, gave me further food for thought although I had read him in my thirties. I thank you. Although, if you want me to subscribe you need to do more content. 😏

Your break down of this piece is insightful. Especially showcasing the different filming styles. I’m a big fan of John Woo but I feel like Wong Kar-Wai is more experimental or instrumental working with less. It’s like when a director has a lot of resources, it seems overwhelming and the focus is lost with too many unnecessary special effects, I don’t know?

Mary Shelley is my relative. They’ve change the spelling of our last names since then, but my fathers professor in college did the lineage in the 60s

The interaption😭😂

I was told in class that the actors and actresses that were afflicted with TB were blessed/touched by the Gods. Does this count.

Idk what it is but he details it so beautiful that you feel like you want to be in that and after you are the reading it settles in that you not there but you felt it , its jow beautifully he writes it just brings peace to my soul.

what is the song at 8:20?

His running book is so inspiring! I have his book Novelist as a Vocation and it’s wonderful.

👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great job done here brother

If you’re going to make a video about a writer, you might want to make doubly sure that your captions are correct too. “Alot” is not a word. “A lot” written as two words, is correct. No one expects you to re-edit the video, but for future reference, “a lot” is grammatically correct. Hope that helps you! 🙂👍🏻

What is that song from at 8:20? Is it from the movie? It sound so familiar.

Check this Murakami's flash fiction out!!! ruclips.net/video/4mW2ANxt9uA/видео.html

I've never laughed so much at someone asking for a like so of course I liked and subscribed

This was so very well done! I hope you return to making content.

I used to not enjoy reading books unless they were history books or educational in some way, I’m the kind of guy who can’t imagine the image of an apple in his head so most descriptions felt very vague and unfamiliar to me so I could never relate enough to devour books. Later in life a friend recommended Murakami, Norwegian Wood to be precise, and his descriptions were so precise yet simple that I could imagine them, his love for music in all his books is also something I can relate to but above all what I really love is how he writes characters, what they go through and how they develop, the simples joys in life, love and how destructive life can be. I’ve since read a bunch of his books and his short stories and I love every single one of them (except maybe Sputnik Sweetheart, that one was enjoyable but not a favorite). With Murakami I feel like I’m reading something that happened in real life even when it gets so silly like a man who can talk to cats and summons fish from the sky. My personal favorite is Men without Women, to this day it remains the most powerful bunch of short stories I’ve ever read and they’ve left a deep mark in me.

Very good video. Will you be making videos in the future?

great job 😍

Favorite film of all time right here, nobody captures a slice of life picture like the master Wong kar wai.

I'm not a native English speaker and I enjoyed reading Haruki short stories. Simple words, entertaining and open my eyes to many thing and let me feel like I belong to his stories because they represent many of us lives. I finally found my favorite author ❤

I'm a big murakami fan , the first book I've read was Kafka on the shore and the experience I had while reading that book was surreal , I felt like I was experience everything Kafka taimura was going through , the library , the cottage in the woods , the forest every thing and ofcourse Nakata was my favourite .. then I've real Norwegian woods idk why it's so hyped the writing is 100/10 murakami way of writing is something else like psychedelic but the story was okay Midori is my favourite character in Norwegian woods and now I'm currently on the wind up bird chronicle and I can't explain what it's impact on me going through a worst phase of my life and this is the only book that keeping me through this phase .. for me murakami books are psychedelic without taking any psychedelic my mind is alter and my heart feels beauty of every day life

I learned so much from this. The city really is a character in the movie and such an integral part of it. I just finished my first video essay on Chungking Express and am now watching others to see the different interpretations of the movie. So neat!

I hope he went to Heaven

the first background music please

Thanks for this high quality analysis of this great writer. Very inspiring !

Okay I'm commenting due to what I heard in the middle of this just before you went through The Double; actually I randomly came back to this video later and apparently I was halfway through it because it restarted in the middle; ironically I'm also halfway through Crime and Punishment with my dad; I guess I wish I had someone to kick the soccer ball around with or hang out with; having a girlfriend is hoping for way too much isn't it? But I'd be your friend...

Song at one 1:40 ?😅

So wonderfully put. I needed this video essay as I was feeling frustrated and confused after having watched CE just now. I realise now I sat through a piece of cinematic excellence with abstract and subtle undertones. Not every film has to have a linear plot. Sometimes there's a story in every scene. Definitely a film that needs lots of rewatches.

awesome video

Man.... This video is hard to watch, I mean understanding all it's hard but not being a English speaker make this 10x more difficult, all the meaning of the video make me wander and I can't concentrate 100%, the video being 20 min long doesn't help, one time the talk is about Dotoesviky or wathever is his name, and other time is about a film of doublegangers, like bro... Help me here, can someone make me a resume?

Dude was pretty prophetic tbh

Loved it keep up the good work

sup beautiful, an apt video for my friends circumstances, ill have to read his work. I only hope his words are as profound as I find my own thoughts on the subject..
