8-nengoshi no hanayome

I fall in love with this movie. I felt sad when this film ended, I was already hypnotized in this film. Taken from a true story, Hisashi and Mai really have an amazing story in bringing all the atmosphere, from heartwarming, happy, to sad. I am always touched in every scene. They both really have amazing and unbelievable personalities, but it's true.

Both Takeru Satoh and Tao Tsuchiya showed very good performances. The chemistry that is displayed is very charming and complementary. Takeru Satoh has once again proven that he is one of the best actors in Japan. How he portrays a vulnerable man, never discouraged, and always saddened, for me it is really amazing. I think now I'm starting to idolize Tao Tsuchiya. He's putting on a great performance here. He really transformed into the character Mai very well. Her acting performance in becoming a cheerful woman until she turned into a woman with a struggle with disease, it amaze me everytime I see her.

Incredible cinematography supported by beautiful scoring and music complements this film to be even more extraordinary. Over all, I love it so much. One of the best Japanese movie I've ever seen. Of course, I'll be watching this again, without a doubt.

Actually, I wasn't expecting to like this movie. Usually real stories are poorly presented and they lack the intensity of emotions that other films provide. However, this one is one of the good ones. The story starts softly, with how the couple met and got engaged. Soon, the girl goes into coma and the family and her fiance struggle to cope with it. Kudos to the film makers for not focusing on the coma period too much and making the plot boring. So, soon the girl wakes up, but she can't remember anyone, especially her fiance. It was nice to watch how she was trying to regain her life gradually, while the people around her helped her. The love story was stronger and more tragic at that part of the movie. In addition to the story and the well execution of it, the performances were really good. Especially from the girl, who was amazing. She played the coma state perfectly without overdoing it and she also potrayed her rehabilitation process really well.

The movie is very good. According to the film, it is a story based on real facts. A romantic drama from the situation of a disease of one of the characters. A story of a persistent love that surpasses the difficulties of life. I recommend.

It does not take long to forget you are reading subs, that is the intensity of this movie. Every time you know what will happen next, you are wrong. A true gem from Japan, with A+ acting. It is so draining that I wont watch it often, but it will for sure be on the repeat list. Basically boy falls in love with feisty girl who falls into a coma.A definite worth the money to see, I now have a copy.

This is the best movie for a couple who are together now ....
