My Tomorrow, Your Yesterday

The Curious Case of Fukuju Emi

It is better to have love and lost, than never to have loved at all. In theory I agree. But I want my romcoms to have a happy ending and here.....

I am still trying to figure out what happened here. It is basically a japanese version of Benjamin Button: two people meet at different moments in their lives but they are on opposite time trajectories and can be happy and in love only once in the lifetime and only for 30 days.

I love time travel, parallel universe stories but this one is not a fun or uplifting one. In spite of all the cuteness (and the actors are both really cute!) this was a terrible movie to watch. When I realized sometimes halfway through, where this movie was going, I wanted to drop it. I did not because I hoped, against hope, that they would manage to find a way to sort it out. Spoiler alert: they did not.

I wish somebody had told me it was Benjamin Button. As much as I liked Brad Pitt, the movie was horrible. Just like this one: it is depressing and hopeless!

I had seen the chinese version, but it has nothing to do with the plot of this film so I am a bit confused as to why they put that version's link on this film's page.

Another thing I do not understand is the ending. It is the beginning. Are they stuck in a time loop?

Ispirata dal poster dai colori dolci e dalla luce tenue, ho guardato questo film che mi ha piacevolmente sorpreso. Le impressioni del poster si ritrovano via via nel film che parla delle vicende di due ragazzi di vent'anni, il cui futuro e passato si fondono insieme per creare una romantica, anche se un po' triste, storia d'amore. Il film si lascia guardare e trasmette tante emozioni. Gli attori protagonisti sono stati eccellenti: Komatsu Nana non è un'attrice che personalmente adoro, ma in questo film è stata fantastica. Fukushi Sota è stato bravissimo a trasmettere tutte le emozioni che il protagonista provava. Sicuramente un film che consiglio.
