Love is all you need - and a good job
Watched the movie after binge watching the series - demonstrates how much I wanted to see what happens to Kurosawa and Adachi, and their friends, too.The first few minutes run through their story from the series. The story here changes timelines and events slightly on the final episode and special.
What was interesting was how work continued to be of importance, and how a couple make decisions for their careers. I, too, worried when a nurse said 'we'd contacted family' and what that might mean.
Adachi's personal growth at work and his love for Kurosawa is here and brings more out of the actor. The chemistry between the two is better than the series, particularly Adachi.
I think some reactions were more positive than expected but it is a feel good drama after all, and it's raising the issues and it's not all easy-going.
Doubt there'll be another part, but would be good to see more of how Kurosawa and Adachi negotiate their relationship in the workplace.
Smiling at the end. Although will point out as of early 2025, same sex marriage Inc marriage abroad is not recognised in Japan. A 2024 court case in Sapporo thought something different of the constitution compared to some cases in 2023. Same sex certificates can be obtained in some prefectures.
Well acted, some beautiful landscapes, cosy, friendly or enclosed interiors as fitted the protagonists. Worth a watch for a slice of life with a same sex couple deepening their bond.
