elennielI want to watch that movie. 30th May!
(But what's the point of fussing over the premiere date. Not like I'm going to get to see it in cinemas... ¬¬ )
I never realised until a few hours ago just how many interpretations one could get out of "otonari."
おと な り
oto na ri; oto = sound
otona ri; otona = adult
o-tonari; tonari = neighbour
Otonari is a love story about two neighbours. He's a photographer, she's a florist. They don't meet, but they know each other - through sound. The sound of a door opening, footsteps across a room, windchimes, keys that jingle when one walks... (Gosh, those must be some really thin walls.)
And to think it's all summed up in the title!
It also probably explains why the movie's title is written with hiragana and spaced in that funny way.
I watched the most recent trailer maybe four times during the daytime yesterday but it didn't cross my mind until I watched it again at night. All of a sudden a comment from one of the characters that "the neighbour's kinda cute" and a later line of narration about this being a "grown-up love story" (I forgot the exact words 8D ) struck me and it was like a lightbulb totally lit up over my head. Such an "OHHHH. Now I get it!" moment. hahahah! Before this I was only ever aware of the "sound" part. ^^;
My favourite screencaps of the trailer~
"Satoshi" glancing towards the wall with a small smile when "Nanao" sneezes on the other side.
Aw, Nanao's upset and crying over something and Satoshi's concerned...
Don't just touch the wall and lookso handsome doing so like you wish you could help her, stupid. She lives next door. Go see herrrrr.
Pretty flowers~ (And pretty photographer too. XD )
Oh! And the movie has such a charming little logo!
I liked it so much I tried to replicate it in vector form... only I didn't feel like tracing the text so I adapted it to what you see in my icon. It's my new desktop wallpaper too. :P (But the wallpaper has "otonari" in hiragana below the logo. It may appear in one of my next wallpaper posts? heheh)
