TMI** im currently pmsing so that probably explains why but boy oh boy did i cry a bucket full of tears. I just really love when the japanese romance scene gets it right, enough of the mysterious illnesses guys. This film proves you dont need death to get your audience to cry for the next week. Just create beautiful characters, amazing dialogue and a realistic storyline that we all hope ends up being fairytale like instead. Oh how i loved this film. And i loved both main characters equally, which is why i understood them both equally and i wanted them both to get what they wanted.

SPOILER** i had a thought during the hug towards the end to stop the movie there and pretend that was their reconciliation and they went off and got married, but it was too much of a beautiful story and i thought that would be a disservice so i carried on, and then the goodbye wave broke me. It broke me i tell you, however im so so happy i watched this and ill watch it again next month to re-cry a bucket full of tears.

FIrst of all, I didn't expect a movie like this when I clicked the play button, but it was such a surprise. I was expecting it to be the typical romance story of how they were going to be together, like a long story of give and take. However, The movie tushes from the beginning and everything happens so fast till minute 90. Then, a cliff.

I sinceresly enjoyed the whole give-and-take movement of the movie during the growth of each of the characters on the second half of the movie. A couple of times you are given the thoughts of each of them. That is what makes this movie expectacular in this regard. As human beings, we sometimes think wrongly about certain situations in our lives. For example, he thought that she was mad at something and kept the same evolution of his life, instead, she was really hoping he was being the same but he changed. This is a precious learning that I took from this movie.

This movie made me really think about life and our priorities. It does what it has to do, express. Mover your feelings. Make you thrill. This movie completely did it and I don't think this is a masterpiece, but that little drawing you have in the same spot for years and occasionally, watch on an autumn evening.

I seriously did not expect to love this movie. I didn't even expect it to be good, I was just giving it a try and I'm actually glad that I did. This was my first japanese movie, and it turned out to be amazing. Although I hoped for a different ending, but the ending in the movie was quite mature. It's a real gem. Loved it till the end. If you're looking for a fun, relaxing, and enjoyable movie them I'd definitely recommend. Also if you're a emotional person, then be ready to cry (it may be a happy cry). Have fun watching the movie.
