HEART WRENCHING.

I finished this just a while ago, and I can say it is beautifully written and produced. This film did not only touch my hear but also broke it into pieces. I'm not quite good with expressing myself but here it goes:

STORY/PLOT:
The plot was good. It was just simple. Even though you somehow predict that they'll die in the end— yet you still hold on to the hope that they will live and enjoy their life together but you know...
I can say very well that the story was nicely executed— especially without having too much of that or too less of these— it was just balanced, which made it more perfect.

ACTING/CASTING:
Every actors were great with their roles— they've brought out the charm of each leads' character well enough.

MUSIC:
It's great. I think I'll listen to it more, and just have to recall all of these again— and cry my heart out.

REWATCH VALUE:
This is totally something worth watching all over and over again.

This is a masterpiece worth to be known by everyone. Just watch it— I can assure you that it is worth your time.

3 Gaberas???

The only j-movie which made me bawl my eyes for nearly 1 hr.
Just finished watching this movie, well before didn't had much hope that it'll gonna impress me, thought maybe this gonna be a simple as usual movie where leads die, which actually happened but the way they portrayed it, that was??.
For people who likes romance it would not excite you much but the love shown here the slow and silent romance they had was ethereal.
I would definitely recommend everyone to watch it,you might cry pr be in pain remembering the pain and trauma it'll give but the essence of life and the positivity Haruna showed us towards life is what everyone should seek in their life.

Worth the watch

I recommend this movie to everyone.
Deep hidden meaning is not the theme of this move. it is just a really beautifull and refreshing story that you may wanna see once in a while.
Acting was great from everyone and if there were problems story and chemistry managed to fill the gap. Main characters chemistry was not your usual chemistry, it needed to be something pure and they delivered it.
Even the ending that some consider to be cruel i think it was realistic and it made the movie to be more appreciated.

Juste magnifique

J’ai rarement été aussi touché par un film. C’est le genre de film qui reste dans le cœur, pas juste dans la tête. J’ai ressenti un vide à la fin. Mais un beau vide, celui qu’on ressent après avoir aimé quelque chose de vrai. Haruna ❤️ m’a bouleversé, sans forcer, juste par sa douceur, sa lumière. L’émotion est pure, sincère, presque silencieuse. Je pense que ce film va rester longtemps en moi. Juste magnifique c’est le meilleur drama et le meilleur film que j’ai vue.

TW: NANGIS! Kalau tidak siap mental, tunda dulu nontonnya

awalnya saya direkomendasikan oleh seorang teman tentang film ini, saya baca dulu sinopsis nya dan dari awal memang terdengar menarik, TAPI GA NYANGKA BISA BIKIN NANGIS KEJER NON STOP SETENGAH JAM😭

Jepang memang ga kaleng-kaleng kalau soal industri perfilm-an, semua aspek kebagusannya diembat semua. cinematography is on point! Disetiap adegan yang disuguhkan di film ini, anda pasti takjub oleh ke-aesthetic-an nya.

PLOT 10/10
Selalu ada plot twist dibalik apa yang setiap karakter alami/lakukan, yang paling bikin takjub adalah plot twist instagram post lock yang ada di akhir film (tonton dulu makanya, saya ga mau memberi spoiler). dan somehow plot nya tuh terasa rill terasa apa ya- kaya bukan dilebih lebihkan gitu. yang memang betul betul menggambarkan kondisi orang sakit yang sewaktu waktu bisa collapse ditengah jalan, sampai di rawat jalan di IGD. itu realistis banget

ACTING 10/10
Acting as if they don't act, alias bener bener sebagus itu choyyy. kaya ga acting. dan aku paling suka sama keluarga nya akito yang ga terlalu memaksakan kehendak mereka krn mereka paham apa yang dialami akito. ayahnya best dad! aku pikir pas lihat wajah ayahnya tu aku kira dia bakal somehow aga membentak kayak- "kenapa kamu bolos ekskul lukis????!" (spoiler dikit) tapi ternyata dia sangat understanding akito bgt, BEST DADD

Aspek tambahan
anda akan disuguhi beragam ilmu baru saat menonton, termasuk ilmu bidang florist dan arti dalam memilih bunga dalam keseriusan menjalani hubungan pacaran. joss bgt pokoknya.

In the end, this might be one of the best Japanese movie I've ever seen. walau belum menjelajah seluruh film-film Jepang but I can assure you, bahkan setelah nonton 1000 atau 3000 atau bahkan 1.000.000 macam genre film Jepang, anda tetap teringat dengan film ini kembali dan akan ada rasa rasa hendak rewatch hehe, saya jamin dah

NONTON YAAA, SEDIAKAN TISSUE GUYSS. TENGKYUU

emocionante

Uma das histórias mais emocionantes que já assisti, esse filme nos faz refletir sobre a questão vida × morte e nos faz ver o mundo com olhos diferentes depois de assistí-lo.
Acompanhamos a relação de dois jovens com doenças terminais, um deles parece lidar de forma mais conformada, enquanto o outro sente medo do seu futuro. Em meio à doença, os dois encontram esperança e vontade de viver no outro.
Amei o desenvolvimento de Sakurai e Akito, o romance sutil, delicado... realmente uma história de arrepiar.

A perfect movie

"Drawing Closer" is a total tearjerker! It's one of those movies that just gets you right in the feels. The story is so good, it's like a perfect puzzle that just fits together. I've cried so many times watching it, I've lost count.

But it's not just about sadness, it really makes you think about love in a whole new way. It shows you how complicated and messy relationships can be, but also how strong and beautiful they can be too.

The characters are so real, you feel like you know them personally. They go through so much, but you just want to root for them the whole time. It's one of those movies that just sticks with you, even after it's over.

You really get a sense that the director understands people, and they made a movie that's both beautiful to watch and emotionally powerful. The actors are amazing, they really bring the characters to life. I can't recommend this movie enough, it's a must-see!

Don't forget to bring some napkins to wipe your tears!

A MENSAGEM É LINDA DEMAIS!

Emocionante, profundo e mostra a essência de um amor puro e verdadeiro. O tema apesar de ser morte e doença é uma poesia e um olhar sobre a vida. Te faz pensar no que realmente é importante. Amei muito!

Desidratei...

Eu sabia que poderia chorar, talvez seja por isso que demorei meses para ter coragem de tirar da minha lista e finalmente assistir. Confesso que, já nos primeiros 20 minutos de filme eu estava chorando.
A história é de uma delicadeza gigantesca, apesar de se tratar de um assunto tão denso.
O desenvolvimento da trama e a conexão dos protagonistas é maravilhosa.
Em cada minuto que passava você torcia para que eles tivessem mais tempo juntos aproveitando os 6 meses que tinham, apesar de saber que o ponto alto da história seria quando ele caísse de cama e foi, 20/08. Fogos de artifício, me me fez chorar mais uma vez. Por um momento eu até torci que eles se reencontrassem e assistissem juntos, mas não, ele não falaria para ela o que havia acontecido, queria apenas fazê-la feliz. E a ansia dele em fazer com que ela voltasse a amizade com a amiga também mostrou o quanto ele a queria bem.
O significado das gerberas, 3!, 5! e 6! foi muito bonito de acompanhar, e ao bater o olho no desenho que ela deixou eu já entendi o significado na hora, foi bonito ver ele descobrir a postagem, a foto, o significado, porque nenhum dos dois conseguiu dizer o que tanto sentiam, apenas expressavam por suas ações um com o outro.
E o quadro final foi para fechar com chave de ouro e de vários lencinhos empilhados ao lado do computador.
Mas respirem fundo e dêem uma chance para se desidratar e mesmo assim continuar sorrindo ao se recordar do filme assistido.
