Since i've actually seen the anime, which was REALLY GREAT I had high expectations for the actual live action movie. Even so this movie kind of disappointed me. It feels like the story goes by too fast, like, nothing get explained/ showed as much as they did in the anime. People who've watched the anime will know what the story is and miss certain parts in it. For people who never watched the anime it may be a lot more enjoyable. As I said they didn't include lots of necessary scenes; -Kousei's whole backstory with more throwbacks of what his mom did to him and made him the "man" he is today. -The black cat that came by in the anime which is a symbol for good luck. -Kousei meeting Kaori's parents which have a bakery and being all enthousiastic about Kousei being there. -Tsubaki dating another guy. -The backstory of Tsubaki and Kousei. -Kousei and Kaori really getting close to each other. The music is the best part of this whole movie. It's all about the music. It may be Classical, but it's certainly beautiful and fits the whole theme of the movie. It gives a great dramatic feeling touching scenes and certainly jerks the tears from your eyes. Anyways I give this movie a total of a 6,5 due the fact that I missed lots of scenes I looked forward to to see.
