Boku wa asu, kinou no kimi to dêto suru

Boku wa asu, kinou no kimi to dêto suru is a classical Japanese melodrama. And i don't say that in a bad way.

Much like the classic "Love Letter, directed by the brilliant Hirokazu Kore Edo, this movie wraps nostalgia, romance and drama by pulling the right strings of your heart.

It is a deliberate choice by the director to rise the music and focus on the actor faces, he wants you to cry and you probably will.

That's because Boku wa asu, kinou no kimi to dêto suru succeeds in spectacular fashion in building an adorable relationship between the main characters in the first act.

Even if a bit confusing - and requiring a huge suspension of disbelief - this film is a winner. If you like melodramas, movies that you know have the objective to touch you and make you cry, you can't go wrong with this one.

Absolutely beautiful romance/fantasy flick.

Im not a big fan of japanese movies. i usually dont watch it. but i happened to see this, and this was so great movie. at first, it seems quite strange to see the girl's reaction to him. and then, we can take it in with the later scene and story line. the more the story line flows, the more it is touching. i actually didnt like the ending but especially the story line was excellently great. you might feel it is one of the run of the mill japanese movie bcuz they have plenty of time traveling movies but its pretty prominent among those

Watching the first part of the film had me wondering if I was watching a romantic movie made for 10 year olds (which is not a bad thing, just not what I was expecting). It was too airy, too cheesy, youthful, and innocent.

The second part came in, and it all made sense. The film did a great job making the premise easy to understand.

I cannot properly review this without discussing the plot... but discussing the plot would involve major spoilers. So the option left is to review the presentation... which is superb.

One cannot really dwell on the concept of the film because there are too many paradoxes to fit comfortably into a box. Focusing on such would be like picking apart a folk tale. Instead, we simply accept what happens and don't worry too much about the details.

If we focus on the far more important presentation of the story itself, this brings us to writing, directing, acting, imagination and presentation... all of which are superb. Parts are funny, parts are heartwarming, parts will very likely bring the viewer to tears. That's quite an accomplishment all in one film.

The actors do a terrific job of presenting the parts they portray, both in character and in stages of their relationship-- which in this story requires quite a bit of acting versatility. The sets are simple and common-place. There re no special effects, no apparent CGI, no action or chase scenes. The entire movie is carried simply by story and acting. It is both captivating and moving.

A unique vehicle appears in this film: a simultaneous climax and anticlimax. One will have to actually view the film to understand how this works-- and how well it's done in this vehicle. There aren't many films which have such opportunity, but when it works it works-- and in this film it works very well.

One of the best romances I've seen... which is saying quite a bit since it is totally off the wall. Not recommended for those who "over-think" plot lines. But if you have a sense of romance and appreciate a well-presented story, if you love a movie with heart, this is highly recommended. I would watch it again-- which is the best praise I can give any film.

Stumbled upon this movie tonight. Ohhhhh God all these years i thought i was so tough. never cried like this in my life before. Guess we'll meet again. and i will date yesterday's you xoxoxoxoxxx
