The central theme of 'Goodbye, Someday' revolves around a passionate yet seemingly inappropriate love affair set in 1975 Bangkok during Japan's economic boom. The story explores the tension between societal expectations and personal desires, as the protagonist, a 'model youth' engaged to be married, becomes entangled in a deeply emotional and physical relationship with another woman. The film questions whether intense passion can transform into lasting emotional bonds and whether such fleeting moments can outweigh decades of commitment.
The movie reflects the cultural and societal pressures of 1970s Japan through its portrayal of the protagonist, a 'model youth' who is expected to follow a conventional life path, including marriage and career success. The affair he engages in represents a rebellion against these norms, highlighting the tension between individual desires and societal expectations. The film also captures the influence of Western culture, such as the presence of Elvis Presley's music in Bangkok bars, symbolizing the global cultural shifts impacting Japan during its economic rise.
The Oriental Hotel's Maugham Suite serves as a symbolic and romantic setting in the movie. It is where the protagonists meet and their relationship deepens, representing a space of escape from societal norms and a place where their forbidden love flourishes. The suite, named after the famous writer Somerset Maugham, adds a layer of literary and historical significance, evoking a sense of timelessness and sophistication that mirrors the characters' complex emotions.
Miho Nakayama's character in 'Goodbye, Someday' embodies freedom and rebellion through her bold and passionate nature. She challenges the protagonist's conventional life by engaging in a relationship that defies societal norms. Her carefree and daring attitude contrasts with the protagonist's 'model youth' persona, symbolizing a break from tradition and an embrace of personal desires over societal expectations. Her character's free-spiritedness and emotional intensity make her a catalyst for the protagonist's internal conflict and eventual transformation.
The song 'Goodbye, Someday' serves as a poignant reflection of the movie's themes of love, loss, and the inevitability of parting. It underscores the emotional weight of the characters' relationship, emphasizing the transient nature of their connection and the lingering impact it has on their lives. The song's melancholic tone mirrors the bittersweet reality of their love story, where passion and separation coexist, leaving a lasting impression on both the characters and the audience.
The movie explores memory as a powerful force that shapes relationships by highlighting how the protagonists' brief yet intense affair leaves a lasting imprint on their lives. Despite their eventual separation, the memories of their time together continue to influence their emotions and decisions. The film suggests that such memories can become a source of both joy and pain, as they serve as reminders of what was lost and what could have been, ultimately shaping the characters' understanding of love and regret.
54岁,她度过了非常浓缩的一生。因为中山美穗的离世,我重看了她和西岛秀俊主演的电影,《再见,总有一天》。故事发生在1975年的曼谷,那也是日本经济起飞的时候。我记得电影里的曼谷风光,酒吧里有人在唱猫王,还有他俩约会的场所,东方酒店的毛姆套房。
那是一段炽热的,看起来不正确的恋情,脱离惯性,内心充满纠葛,却仍然被欢愉所吸引。中山美穗在电影中有一颗自由的灵魂,大胆而热烈,又总是带着一种漫不经心,她经常嘲笑西岛秀俊饰演的东垣是个“模范青年”,他有未婚妻,有一条正确的人生道路。所以,起初一切都是漫不经心的,随时会结束的,结果反而带来一种特别强烈的依恋。
我喜欢两人初遇时的浓情,但又不太愿意面对人生的分离,我怀疑过分强烈的情感,有一种下意识的抵触和回避。可能因为没当过模范青年,所以不是很理解那种感受。情欲会转化成牢固的情感纽带吗,四个月可以压过几十年吗,爱说出口的瞬间会像冰一般融化吗?我不知道,情感让人困惑。
“总有一天,我们都要说再见。但有一天,我们会再相见。人死前,有人会想起曾经被爱,有人则会想起曾经爱过。”再见,中山美穗。
