I Want to Eat Your Pancreas Review

I Want to Eat Your Pancreas

I Want to Eat Your Pancreas is a film based on the novel of the same name by Yuro Sumino. In 2018 the film came out providing a heart-warming experience to all the audiences who are waiting for this piece to release. The concluding film with the plot "An aloof boy comes across a book in a hospital waiting room. He soon discovers that it is a diary kept by his very popular classmate who reveals to him that she is secretly suffering from a fatal pancreatic illness.", is truly remarkable in its presentation with the sublime screenplay. Here is the short review of the film~

• Revealing the climax portion of a film beforehand can be harmful to its potential indeed. But this film uses this very contradicting subject as its plus point and soothingly composed the whole plot at its maximum. The title, thus being bizarre, maybe caught the viewer's eyes to some extent but the metaphor it conducts is really to be the best along with its genre. 
• The whole animation extended to the fantasy world which perfectly brought up the bottling emotions of the including characters. Maybe the smooth flow of the story development can be cliche to the viewers but the whole flow made the film quite interesting. We can easily accept the fantasy world of emotions, as our realistic mind's inner commotions. 'Living with Dying' - can you find a better explanation of this film than these 3 words???
• Watching this film can be time-wasting to some but to me, it is the whole world of bittersweet emotions, that no one can actually relate to.

Without further delay let's move on to the main topic aside from discussing the film we have to focus on the beauty of its mother-creation; I mean the novel itself with a contradicting cover picture. It is a light novel and also a critically well-praised book. You should have to read it with the film if you want to achieve a full grip of the plot juxtaposing time and circumstances. Thank You~

I am not going to talk about the ulterior subjects now. I am not going to spoil the fun of reading the main book or watching the film. Without further delay let's focus on our main subject now. 

Ever wonder how a book cover is selected for a published book? There are many people, many illustrators who are waiting to submit their drawing for the nomination of the book cover. It is their job and this, they get paid. Here in this article, I will sum up the reasons why a, one and only, picture is being selected for a book. I recently read a light novel; obviously, it a light one but still the significance of the cover photo mesmerized me.

The title is 'I Want to Eat Your Pancreas'. Yes I know it is bizarre but doesn't pay heed to this trifling matter. If you are interested, go and read the book but here, let’s point out the cover.

I first came up with this title when I saw a production-film about this same context, and yes it touches my heart. So in near future, I went for the novel as I am quite fond of reading. And after buying a copy when I looked at the cover photo, a certain something clicked in my head. Yes and that follows my work of cracking the mystery behind the selection of this illustration. Now move on to the subject__

Here is the true Illustration by Nicky Lim: -

• Here the picturesque portrait of a certain incongruous landscape of the storyline is selected as the cover picture of the light novel, “I Want to Eat Your Pancreas”, designed by Nicky Lim.
• The story contains two characters as follows the picture. One Boy and One Girl, who is suffering from pancreatic diseases, where death is the only sublime result for her. So as drawn in the illustration as we can see that the girl is bending over the rails quite happily and gazing onwards the vast scenery of a blurred visionary.
  
  
• So if we represent the railings as the shadow line between life and death, it will be as easy as an Obscura of a stable view by your descriptive power. The Sunrays are coming from behind them and stopped by the railing, its glory dies, here the rays represent life source. Where ‘Bending of the Girl’, offers a clear view about her pain in the middle half, presenting her pancreatic pain. She is in pain but still yet smiling and looking onward Transience.
• Over the railings ‘The Vast Field’ is the future and by blurring it, the illustrator plainly gave us the connotation of the uncertainty of the Future. As I already told you that the railings are the boundary of life and the girl is gazing forward it, so for the girl, looking towards the future is nothing but waiting for her own demise. Though the harsh reality is painful to us, she frankly accepted it, a long ago.
  
  
• Now, let's focus on the left side of the picture, where the main attraction is the boy though he is not much attracted to the vast field and the scenery. Easily we can manifest his nature by it as he is not much interested in life or the future. He is concentrating on his book but we all know that the only book that made him pondered is the diary of the girl. He is reading it thoroughly by the supreme intention to fulfill the girl’s half-hearted dreams before her death but he failed to realize that the original intention of the girl is not in the diary, she only writes it as a medium of communication between them. There ‘The Girl is also Holding Her Diary’ but that is just a trivial matter to her. She only wants to sanctify her last remaining days by making conspicuous memories. The boy fails; the life goes on and the girl dies but before dying she also wrote her quite some feelings of her insulated mind and look – ‘How She is Satisfied’, in the picture, al last by telling her inner-delights to him, she passes away happily. The Sakura Tree between them is the externalizes of love or spring which flows an impulsive wind above their life.

So these are my points why this individual illustration is suitable for the book. Obviously, you have to see the film or read this book if you want to unleash the depth of your own visionaries but still, it is quite an interesting matter that what really is lurking behind a 2D Photo. Hope you will find this interesting and if so, don't worry more amazing views of mine will come in near future.
