Status Updates From Uomini senza donne

Read the first short-story “Drive My Car” today. In a rare occurrence I think the film adaptation is a lot better. Of course Ryusuke Hamaguchi was able to explore just this 40 page story alone, but the depth he gave these characters is incredibly impressive. Equally as impressive are his changes and additional characters. Beautifully adapted. Also it feels so wrong that the car is yellow lol.

“Ojalá Kitaru lleve una vida feliz en Denver, o en cualquier otra ciudad lejana. Si eso de ser feliz es pedir demasiado, ojalá viva al menos el presente con salud y sin carencias. Porque nadie sabe con qué soñaremos mañana.” (p. 93)
