I feel bad for westernizing this book, but I don't know any Japanese actors. So if Norwegian Wood were to be made into an American film, these would be my casting choices.
Death exists - in a paperweight, in four red and white balls on a billiard table - and we go on living and breathing it into our lungs like fine dust.
Lou Taylor Pucci as Toru Watanabe.
Letters are just pieces of paper. ... Burn them, and what stays in your heart will stay, keep them, and what vanishes will vanish.
Jeon Ji Hyun as Naoko.
That's the kind of death that frightens me. The shadow of death slowly, slowly eats away at the region of life, and before you know it everything's dark and you can't see, and the people around you think of you as more dead than alive. I hate that, I couldn't stand it.
Summer Glau as Midori Kobayashi.
I have a lot more patience for others than I have for myself, and I'm much better at bringing out the best in others than in myself. That's just the kind of person I am. I'm the scratchy stuff on the side of the matchbox. But that's fine with me. I don't mind at all. Better to be a first-class matchbox than a second-class match.
Tilda Swinton as Reiko Ishida.
Only the dead stay seventeen forever.
Andrew Garfield as Kizuki.
