We leave ourselves to the means of not "verbalizing."
It was a very beautiful film. It was a very beautiful film. It showed what everyone wants to see and what people tend to turn away from, "as it is," without trying to explain it with logic. The content was supposed to be intense, but the purity of the content was refreshing. In the film, there were many scenes in which the actors were silent, sang, or acted in ways other than through dialogue.
Sugata:I don't know how we did it, we.
Nakano:The director also always said that he did not want us to think in terms of logic. If you put it into words, you are limited to a variety of emotions, and if you use words, that's the end of it. Besides, it is very difficult to verbalize what you are thinking. I think it was more a process of embodying something that is not logical, something that is more incomprehensible.
I think it is very common in the real world for people to be caught between a rock and a hard place, like Sugio, played by Mr. Taiga, and to be pushed beyond their capacity. It seemed very painful to watch.
Nakano:That's right. When I approach a work, I tend to think about it in a very logical way. I tend to think in logical terms when I approach a production. I think of a role as something that happened, something I thought about, and then I figure it out. I am the type of person who thinks that way.
Sugata:That's great too, isn't it?
Nakano:This time, under Ohmori's direction, the approach of setting up some sort of roadmap did not work in a sense, and in fact, the director did not want us to work in such a way.
Nakano:However, Sugio is also a person who seeks reality and reason, so I could not ignore that aspect of his personality. There were several occasions when we had to reconcile these differences. But after a certain incident caused Sugio's brakes to break, there was a moment when I was able to shake hands with the director and break the brakes myself, in resonance with the role.
Sugata:You and the director talked a lot, didn't you? I think he was the most talkative.
Nakano:I wanted to find meaning, and I wanted to know the logic. I think my way of thinking and Sugio's frank way of thinking were somewhat similar. But the director made me think that I should accept all of that and let it go. Shohki and Yoshi made me feel that way.
