It's one of those masterpieces which leaves a mark for long time and make us uncomfortable.Its poignantly beautiful. Definitely koreeda Hirokazu style.I got the same intense feeling while watching Broker,shoplifters and like father,like son.The helpless emotions of characters hurts us so bad that we think we are in the scene with characters or we are the characters.I love this type of storytelling. You will definitely feel miserable.If you think twice there is an open ending .But that ending will be as painful as the alternative. That's what makes it uncomfortable but beautiful.
I had difficulty breathing while watching this movie. The real monster is the human perspectives itself. What…
The actors who portrayed Yori and Minato had done an amazing job. Mother, Teacher and Principal were perfect casting. The character of Principal was very hard to read. But the movie says it all. For me thinking about the last scene makes me burst into tears. Either way its a tearjerker. Sad ending-I'll cry and think they were reborn. Happy ending-Relived at first. But what about the pig brained father of Yori and prejudices of society. Yori's perspective would have given the most hopeful POV of a character. I think it would be painful but Hopeful perspective which will not match the flow of storyline. But if we had seen that ,it would have completely broken us at the ending . What I don't get is the behavior of their classmates. They never helped either their classmates or their teacher. Yori"s and Minato's character had a lot to say and they did it. The scene in which they were playing, Yori :"When you're attacked you let go all your strangth and give up" Minato:"Thats not a talent" Yori:"You stop feeling" Minato:"Am I Hoshikawa Yori?" Yori"s smile and their helpless feelings struck hard. THE STORYTELLING AND ACTING IS INCREDIBLE. The brilliance of director is in every subtle emotions of characters and changes in weather.How the blazing fire changes to hurricane and mudslide and then everything returns to sunny and warm....That is what going through the minds of each character. For my brain IT IS A HAPPY ENDING.They don't need to change the world needs to. Reasons. 1.When teacher and mother reaches the toppled train they had already left . 2.The sunny day is the next day so there is no question of sudden weather change. 3.Yori asking Minato if they are reborn and Minato says no.(When yori confirms that they were not reborn and his relief shows how much he wanted to accept himself and don't wanted to change for others)
I had difficulty breathing while watching this movie. The real monster is the human perspectives itself. What is normal? A perfect life people impose on us? Societal norms parents, teachers and society trying to impose can hurt anyone at anytime. I like the principal's words "If only some people can have it, that's not happiness .That's just nonsense .Happiness is something anyone can have." A suffocating yet intriguing story telling. Movie is conveying what it want to ,without even telling about it. Rest is up to the audience .
Second couple obsession..Why this happens in every offgun series? Theory of love ,Not me and now this..... Not complaining Offgun is so cute.But Neo-Aungpao adds something to this that makes this special. I even rewatched FyMy scenes...
Nostalgia is the word .For me they are the KAZEHAYA and SAWAKO.I can relate to everyone who enjoy this over and over again.Human embodiment of pleasent adolescent "KAZEHAYA" made our heart flutter.The love and awe for Haruma Miura as Kazehaya made me more sad when he passed away.The actor had done brilliant projects in different genres.But for me Haruma Miura is Kazehaya and Kazehaya will always be Haruma Miura.
After Haruma Miura someone made my heart flutter by just stealing glances.....Setoyama Jun was another version of Kazhehaya Shouta.Both are the embodiment of pleasent adolescent.Now I have two favourites FROM ME TO YOU and OUR SECRET DIARY.
Breathtaking men,amazing actors-Kim Ji Hoon and Kim Jae Wook outshines the lead.Can't believe they can pull off these kind of characters without fail.Cant blame anyone for loving them more than the lead.
Kim Ji Hoon Vs Kim Jae Wook was the best thing happened in the second part. Ending was not that impressive. Need a season 2 to explain how the ending scene will affect the future and the psychopaths. And why do they select these actors as villains.I cant even hate them....
I was reluctant to watch .I thought its going to be another sweet and cute romantic movie .It is indeed cute and sweet but what made me love this is the execution of the story and actors. I never felt the lag. I'll definitely rewatch this.
Akafuji gives me Tomohisa Yamashita + Yamazaki Kento vibes...Cute story..My heart was beating like crazy ..Again communication issue in a bl but solved in 3 episodes which was only after 99% of the show was done.Only if monologues in their heads were a bit louder.The recipe for spicy curry and a love story in their heads.Cute,hilarious and lovely.The background score was ✨✨✨
It's a really good story.Would have been better if they reduced the episodes.Dragged the story which made it unbearable after ep 5.But happy for the happy ending...
Anyone here to check whether to watch or not go for it.Don't mind people criticizing . Plot is like any other kdrama. But .......the execution was perfect.OSTs were cherry on the top.I never fast forwarded a single song.Casting crew was godsend.Yichan was the human embodiment of sparkling youth.Cant even imagine another person for this role....
wow this needs a second season! what an ending! Singto and Fluke were amazing in this. People might attack me…
Agree with you on the pairing choices.Same is the case for Ohm .Now that they are paired with new actors they are getting better.But UWMA will always be a gem.....
