You know, I came across this entry and saw that story title by Murakami. I've always been a big fan of his, but I've never read that story. For some reason after watching that clip, I decided to find the story online, read it and now I have tears in my eyes. My point is...I can't believe I've never read that piece of Murakami's work, and if I hadn't been clicking through profiles, clicked yours and clicked and a whole load of other stuff, I wouldn't have realized such a profound piece of writing ever existed. So..thank you...in a way. =) Btw...the film sounds interesting too. I hope to watch it when it's done.
