Love Japanese Love Movies? It is for you
I did not have any idea I was going to watch this movie today. It was at 11:30 pm yesterday I decided to watch it from a recommendation from April Bride(from MDL). Now it is 3:13 am 04.04.24 currently.
Being a romance genre lover, I have always been looking for good Japanese love movies or dramas. They are fast paced, extremely good acting, emotional, leaves a message for the viewers. For all these reasons, Japanese movies tops my romantic genre collection.
Now about this movie---
As the name suggests, it is a story of two lovers who were their first love to each other. They were kids when they started to feel love for each other. Again as the plot describes, the male character has a grave disease which gives him an ultimatum to live until age 20. Although we got to guess the ending, but still at our corner of our heart, wanted him to survive. I knew the plot can't be good according to movie production in case he survives, but still the hopes of letting him live more dragged me to feel rollercoaster of emotions alongside Mayu, and all the other characters involved. The father doctor also played a great role. I liked the fact that he allowed her to love the boy even though he was so ill. It shows he was not a heartless person as Takuma thought.
Mayu's emotions and her feelings were indescribable. Her passion for Takuma could make anything possible. We saw the proof. She was playing around but she was capable enough. That's what I couldn't believe when they made the daughter of a doctor so dumb. She was definitely not dumb. She knew what she was upto. Her passion and dedication for her love inspires me to believe in love.
Takuma's feelings although could have been misunderstood at the middle but he also was genuinely in love with her. It's just that his illness sometimes made him doubt about everything. Well it can be possible that his feelings were not described so vividly to make us viewers imagine what we want to, and I would definitely think the positive way. Atleast in movies I can experience the kind of love I could only hope for.
Overall it's a fantastic movie . If you don't like sad endings, maybe you can skip but it isnt something you gonna regret. Give it a try. Happy bingeing!!!
