Life: Senjou no Bokura

This movie is the based on the popular manga "Senjou no Bokura". NO EXPLANTATION 10/10 MUST WATCH. So sad and happy. Just a roller-coaster of emotions.

At 4 episodes this drama tells its tale quickly and confidently without a lot of the protracted misunderstandings and tortured restraint usually associated with BL outings. Leads are highly watchable.

It's just really a simpe love story between two gay men. They fell in love in high school, and continued their happy relationship until they became aduts. However, as expected, which is quite normal in most society especially in Japan, their love were tested by the pressure of society and family to follow a life that is "normal".

Nontheless, it's a very well made movie and well acted so it's enjoyable and worth to watch.

This is the 2nd gay romance movie I watched next to Brokeback mountain so I'm still not used to the kissing and love scenes so you can skip those parts if you are only after "me against the world" type kind of "love story".

Just a little more rich content of the ending like in the manga in the director edition gives you more satisfaction...you will cry more though it's more idealistic.. Just maybe 3-5 minutes long, you will watch as the title Life... so strongly recommend the director edition ( available at Gogolala site).

It's a pity that the tv series version don't include the manga ending- maybe not long enough for 5 episodes but too short for too 4 episodes?

Overall it fits 90-95% of the feeling from the manga and it's a hidden gem - neither the show nor actors get the attention they deserve - May we all have the luck to meet someone to teach us - don't think too much just live like we play a game.

All i can say is that this movie makes you believe in true love again and all of its forms. Its just that perfectly beautiful.
