Tori Matsuzaka - Interview with Tiktoker Shinnosuke
Rurou no Tsuki

I believe that the ”truth" of Fumi is not only a story in this film, but also a sensitive story. So, I actually found people who have the same problems as Fumi during my role creation process.

cont.

I tried to talk to them, but I couldn't meet them. It's a very sensitive matter, so it's difficult for them to meet me face to face and communicate with me, so I have to go through someone else to ask some questions to them.

cont.

I wanted to play this role for people who have the same kind of problems as Fumi because there really are a certain number of people who have such problems.

(***EHH... I thought he wouldn't find any in real life!! Quite surprised! 😱)

Suzu Hirose and Tori Matsuzaka for Oricon
- Rurou no Tsuki

Q; What is the most memorable scene for you?
oricon.co.jp/special/59036/

Suzu: I cried the most in the scene where Sarasa eats ice cream silently after telling Fumi why she doesn't want to go home. It wasn't about being nice or anything like that, it was about Fumi not rejecting her, not ignoring her, not approaching her, but just being there.

Suzu: It wasn't a feeling of being "saved" or "healed," it was more like an affirmation, a feeling of being rewarded. It left an impression on me because I could imagine many ways in which the trust and feelings for Fumi must have moved within Sarasa at that moment.

Tori Matsuzaka - Rurou no Tsuki

If I stick too much to my own image of Fumi, it'll be a biased version of him. I had a lot of discussions with Dir. Lee, did literature research and talked to various people. Then, made a conclusion who he would be like.

Q: I feel that a cautious and sincere attitude is important to understand and respect others.

Tori: Yes, it is. People are multifaceted beings, and it takes a lot of time and effort to properly understand their multifaceted aspects.

Tori: I think it is the evil of the current society that makes people think they understand things easily by skipping that part. Everyone must have the awareness to stop and think. Else, we may end up hurting people without our knowledge, or be complicit in distorting the truth.

Comments provided for Rurou no Tsuki/ Wandering

By,... Bong Joon-ho, author Rio Shimamoto (Shape of Red, First Love), Satoshi Tsumabuki and Yoshino Kimura.

Bukki --> "I dun care about facts or truth, I just want them to be happy. " (Bukki is me LOL... his comment is very long, please see in article.)

Kimura --> very moved just as the novel.

Bong Joon-ho: Dir. Lee Sang-il is already a cinematic monster but in this film, he takes it a step further. Outstanding chemistry between cinematography and direction portrayed the subtle nuances of all the actors in light and shadow. He evoked irresistible jealousy in me.

Interview Dir. Lee Sang-il

Tweet
"The role, Fumi, played by Tori Matsuzaka, is a sensitive one but the immersion is unbelievable. I feel like I'm sucked into his eyes seeming to show the inside of his conflicted mind. I also feel that Suzu Hirose has become an adult woman."

Lee: People are relieved when words such as "lover" and "friend" apply to the relationship, but the relationship between Fumi and Sarasa cannot be called love. There is no sex involved. It is neither parent-child affection nor friendship. It's rejection of the definition itself.

Lee: Yet, there's a solid and certain connection. In this intolerant world, their relationship that strive for mutual appreciation of each other's dignity seems to be a kind of ideal. How to bring this to the audience on a realistic level. That's the most difficult part.
