I felt the need to write a review for two reasons:
This movie is beautiful in its simplicity. The beach scenario is nostalgic, beautiful and comforting, and gives you a warm feeling inside. It's the first scenario we see and it's where at the end Kurata waits for Takahashi, representig the beginining and the continuation. I loved this detail so much that even though Kurata was sad and losing hope I was smiling because I knew Takahashi would come for him. Also the final scene on the bus where Kurata reveals he kept Takahashi's item for this long confirms that he also had been in love all this time. The movie connects the present with the past in such an endearing way that it melts you.
Kurata and Takahashi's relationship it's a bit chaotic at first and it would be easy for the story to go towards a more dramatic, even violent end but it was handled so well that there's no chance for us but to absolutely love them both, as individuals and as a couple.
Now on a more emotional note (I'm too sensitive, sorry)...I LOVE THEM SO MUCH! They're so sweet and beautiful and the lines about each other towards the end... "I miss you, only you", "I'll be waiting until you come", "When it comes to you I know everything". I teared wathing it. Such an endearing captivating story. I absolutely recommend it.
I loved it!
- Don't let the rating fool you;
- This movie deserves a review.
