The 100% Perfect Girl short film

I thought the short film we watched in class of "On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl" was a perfect representation of the short story. It captured the whimsical voice of Murakami and put strangely beautiful visuals to Murakami's strangely beautiful writing. The main character perfectly acted out the tone of the story and I loved seeing the girl pass by him multiple times. While Murakami doesn't write that she passes his vision a dozen times, it was great interpretation of the text. The story of him thinking of her over a period of several pages is a similar process as seeing her walk by dozens of time. I also loved at the end when they pass by each other and they look at each other. The film was in black and white but I loved that when they run into each other again they turn into different colors. The colors complement each other until they both turn into their own colors again and part their separate ways. I also thought the music in the background captured the feeling of the story. I don't know if I can make it any more clear that I loved this story.
