Boku no hatsukoi wo kimi ni sasagu

This is probably not the film for optimism and hope but it is definitely the best film for love and life. Living is sad with heartbreaks. Even so, if I knew what await me, I would still meet you and fall in love with you. Because knowing you is the best thing I have done.

It does not matter what await me at the finish line, what matters is I have spent my time, life, and love for you.~

The film reflect truthful about a life of a person with heart condition since born, Takuma. Especially, when doctor diagnose that he could not reach his 20. Surprisingly, he does not fear of death. Instead, he is very well- prepared. What he fears lie in people he loves.

I caught this film on an ANA flight from L.A. to Japan as a previous poster had too. The plot is about 2 kids who grow up together in love but face difficulties, the main one being Takuma's heart condition that will not allow him to live past a certain age. The film's characters embraced their roles well and the 2 main characters had good chemistry with one another. The film had a good flow to it except for one part that felt a bit awkward (it was when Takuma meets Teru) but otherwise it was enjoyable. The kids who play the main characters in the beginning of the film are absolutely adorable and gives the film an innocent tone from the get-go. And yes, the film had me feel like I was cutting onions in certain scenes.

I like watch romance movies sometimes and when I saw the trailer to this, it looked decent to the point I wanted to check it out. It's basically a Asian drama compact into a movie, with a cliché drama stuff in it with two guys falling for one girl kinda scenario. I thought the beginning started out pretty well, until it started to go in a route that has been done before just too many times and has been done better. There are tear jerking moments in this and will lead girls and maybe some guys to almost cry while watching it, mainly cause of the emotion that is poured out in some scenes. This movie is kinda like the Japanese version of "The Notebook" although it was adapted into a movie from a Japanese novel or manga. The story is basically about a boy who is dying very quickly and won't have a chance to reach the age of 20, but there is a girl who is deeply in love with him and her father is a doctor. Soon another guy is put into the equation who falls for the same girl and so on. It's decent romantic/drama and is a good date movie as well.

7.4/10
