1 rittoru no namida

This is a movie for people who takes life for granted. In our pursuit of happiness, we forget simple things in life. This movie will remind us that what makes life worth living is our simple tasks and activities in our daily living. We don't have to grasp our widest dream to enjoy our life. After I have watched this movie, I go to gym every day just to enjoy running and weight lifting, knowing that one day I would be old and that my age would prevent me from doing things I am capable of doing now. Just like Aya, she soon lost her abilities to do things she used to do. The different is that time comes quick on her. But surely, her life reflects our life that we are getting older everyday. This is the movie which has changed the way I look at life.

1 litre of tears is a very touching story about a young girls struggle with a very cruel disease. A disease which takes away all the things she loves, one by one.

As Aya-chan struggles, all people around her are struggling with her. Share the pain, sadness, but also love and joy with aya's family.

This dorama show is something great, it has a huge impact on every living soul, also and more important it is the legacy and dream of a young girl. With not only the book 1 litre of tears , bases on aya's diaries, but also this dorama show, aya's dream is fulfilled and will continue to live on.

domo arigatou aya-chan, for you will not be forgotten.

one tip for people who are going to watch this show: please have tissues next to you this show is 100% tears guaranteed

Contrary to what at least one person has said here, I think the TV series is way better than the movie. And this is also supported by the higher ratings the TV series has against this one (8.7, comprising of 2.5k evaluators against a score of 7.8 and 1.3k evaluators). The acting is better, the story and the script, the drama, the soundtrack... Basically everything is better, more detailed, poetic and dramatic. Don't know if the movie is indeed more faithful to the true story or not but who cares? Who said it has to be? It is not a documentary and arts doesn't have to be faithful to reality. The point is that the TV series delivers a way more powerful/ impactful message than the movie. If it was possible I would rate this movie 6.5 instead of 7 but 6 I think is not fair so I rated it 7.

This is my first ever review about any shows . Well i watched the orignal old tv series not thiis movie but , Looking back at this series I can say this is an life changing and unforgettable (sad/bittersweet) I will never forget throughout my entire life . This series makes us rethink about things we takes for granted , make us realize those things we already had , some doesn't . Whenever you ever feel down in life and crossed your enduring limit and having thought about taking that step rethink about what valuable things you gonna lose , i guarantee this series will make changes in you , good changes .

Just to clear things up, this is the FILM "1 Litre of Tears", not the drama starring Sawajiri Erika. I honestly find it a pity that the drama is so well-known, yet the film isn't. Not that the drama wasn't great - I just think the film was much better. Onishi completely delved into the role and delivered an outstanding performance. Just watching her struggle to move around made me cry like crazy.

To be perfectly frank, I didn't pay much attention to much of the film's elements - camera, lighting, setting. I don't think that's a bad thing, really; it just goes to show how powerful the actors' performances were, so much so it becomes all you care about. The casting was perfect! I don't think the film would have had as much of an impact if Sawajiri were cast in Kito Aya's role here. The music was perfect, pacing perfect, character build-up perfect..... I don't know, I can't really find much fault with the film.

Honestly. This WILL make you cry a litre of tears.
