Chapter 469 "Comorbidity Library"
"Old thief!"
"Mad! I've endured this for five years! I really can't bear it anymore!"
"I can't see it, I really can't see the old thief's work."
"I thought Sakura was the serial murderer..."
"Made, the guy upstairs is really imaginative. I'll give you the pen and you can draw it."
…
Sakura's death was beyond the expectations of all viewers!
Because they have watched "April", almost all readers have the habit of thinking that Sakura will die of illness, but the way she was killed is too cruel. Not to mention the male protagonist, even the audience has not seen Sakura. Liang’s last appearance!
In fact, if you look back at the previous story, you can find that it was foreshadowed more than once. For example, at the beginning of the film, and when the male and female protagonists went on a weekend trip together, various background sounds reported the news of the murder of a female college student.
But when it really happened before their eyes, even the most loyal fans of the old thief couldn't stand it.
What I said before, the audience who could watch this work of Lao Zei with a smile, all of them have veins popping out at this moment, breaking their defenses!
This is different from the sad storm crying of the audience in "April".
This is anger and breaking defense!
The ruthlessness of this knife is so cruel!
It is a sad and beautiful story in itself, but this knife completely shattered this beautiful dream!
…
Regarding Sakura's death, it is actually understandable from the creator's perspective.
"Natural death" and "unnatural death".
There is a considerable threshold for the conventional plot of death due to illness. Its threshold lies in the audience's low tolerance for such endings. Simply put, it is a kind of aesthetic fatigue.
Especially when a plot like "April" has appeared once, this fatigue is reflected in the weakening of the drama of the story, resulting in a decrease in suspense, and readers can easily guess the ending.
Therefore, when the ending is really as readers expected, the sense of boredom and cliche will be greatly enhanced.
The "unnatural death" of terminally ill people is a plot that is rarely shown.
The shock and impact brought by the sudden plot can completely change the direction of the story almost at the moment the event occurs, thus achieving a dramatic effect. The death of Baguio had the same effect.
The reaction of the audience and readers is completely within the expectations of the creator, because once there is a knife that exceeds expectations, they will fall into a state of hysteria or self-deception.
Everyone is the same. They will instinctively refuse to accept facts that are beyond the scope of cognitive acceptance. This is the contradiction between "emergency" and "natural".
…
Ever since, the story of "Pancreas" has returned to the very beginning.
It’s different than what any audience expected.
The mourning at the funeral was not for Sakura who died of illness, but for Sakura who was killed.
There is no emotion of sadness in the movie, but it is just immersed in a melancholy atmosphere. As the male protagonist narrates sentence by sentence, he reviews the process of meeting Sakura and Sakura.
When Sakura died, the male protagonist also felt that part of his body seemed to die with him.
I don't know how many days later, Haruki came to Sakura's home and met Sakura's mother. When Haruki asked to take a look at the "Common Disease Library" in the form of a diary before Sakura, Sakura's mother In tears:
"is it you?"
"That's great, it's great that you can come..."
"That's great."
Apparently after Sakura's death, Sakura's mother read the "Common Disease Library", and although the male protagonist always said not to write himself in it, judging from Sakura's mother's reaction, it is obvious that Sakura's world is , there was such a boy.
"This is what Sakura left for you."
When this "Common Disease Library" was handed over to Haruki, Sakura's mother's words left Haruki stunned.
"Sakura told me."
"She asked me to give this diary to the only person who knew about her illness until her death."
"She also said that the man was timid... so he might not come to the funeral..."
"but……"
"I will definitely come and get this book."
…
When Sakura's mother's words came out word by word, the audience just felt like their hearts were twisting!
Sakura was right, she knew Haruki too well.
Haruki silently opened the "Common Disease Library", which contained all the memories of Sakura and the hero's past, except that the hero's name had been blacked out.
Memories of the past appeared in Chunshu's mind one after another.
The content in the diary made Haruki no longer able to suppress his sad emotions.
The last letter Sakura left for herself made Haruki break down and cry!
["To be honest, I have thought that I have fallen in love with you many times, really many times. Maybe we will get along well as lovers, but we don't have time to verify it."]
…
["I think you are a great person, and I envy you very much. If I were like you, I wouldn't bring so much trouble to others and bring sadness to you and my family."]
…
["The day you said you wanted me to live, I cried. For the first time, I felt that I, as myself, was needed by others. Thank you. For seventeen years, I have been waiting, waiting to be needed by you. Just like the cherry blossoms waiting to bloom, meeting you is the result of my own choice.”]
…
["By the way, there is something I have always wanted to say to you, but you may not like it."]
["I want to..."]
["Eat your pancreas."]
...
It is also the last letter left.
In "April", the last letter that Kaoru left for Kousei, Kousei was able to read it with a smile, and then hold it tightly against his chest to welcome a new future.
But the letter in "Pancreas" is completely different!
This letter is very long, but every word and sentence is like a knife, stabbing into the hearts of all the audience!
The emotions of the audience are the same as Haruki, a kind of collapse like the death of a lover, the kind of collapse of holding a letter and crying loudly!
If it weren't for Sakura's sudden death, it would be difficult to present such an effect!
...
"Wuwuwuwuwu——"
"Wuwuwuwu..."
The sobbing of the audience spread all over Kyushu.
Now they don't want to express any feelings.
As witnesses of the love process between Sakura and Haruki, they can feel this unforgettable emotion even more. For the male and female protagonists, they are needed by each other.
Compared with "Your Lie in April", "Pancreas" is similar, but different.
The emotions of "April" are passionate from beginning to end, just like the exciting and passionate piano music in the story.
The emotions of "Pancreas" are sad, just like the long and lingering violin music, calm, but deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Unknowingly, many viewers shed tears.
Even I don't know why these tears are for.
The name of the male protagonist appeared in the film for the first time.
"Haruki."
"It matches Sakura's name very well."
Sakura also said this sentence on the train on the way to travel.
The "I" in the movie finally has his own name.
In the original novel, it was also at this stage that Haruki's name was announced.
The plot of the entire "Pancreas" story came to an end in such an atmosphere.
