Tada, kimi o aishiteru

Tada, kimi wo aishiteru is definitely one of the most beautiful films ever made. A simple story between two brilliantly presented characters: Makoto (Tamaki Hiroshi) and Shizuru (Miyazaki Aoi) conveys a powerful message of life.

Photography as an art form is really beautiful because it captures the little memories - of things that may seem simple to people but are in fact meaningful to us. Memories like a smile of a loved one, our friends, of good times, and of nature.

Featuring incredibly artistic photography by Miyazaki Aoi (who dragged random people away from their busy lives in New York, to take their photos), stunning cinematography, beautiful music and one of the best acting performances ever captured on film, this is the perfect film for today's world that is suffering the cost of excessive greed. It is a magnificent film for promoting environmentalism and of treasuring the beauty of the things we take for granted.

Big warning : this is a sad movie. But does it worth it? Definitely yes. The story is sweet, though the ending could have been better. Even though its sad, it could have been presented better. The performances were really good though, from all the actors and actresses. Aslo, the main couple had chemistry and they were cute, especially the girl, all quirky and adorable. The cinematographty, moreover, was splendid, especially, when they were in the forest, with all the colours and the lighting.

Heavenly Forest is by far the sweetest love movie I have seen in a long time. I'm a movie buff especially in this genre.

Every moment has it's nostalgic feeling into it, the transition from one phase to the other blends well and never did lose it's hype.

Although, the movie doesn't draw tension as much as compared with other Romance movies but it is meant to be in that way so it portrays meaningful happiness instead of sob tearjerker that drives the audience downhill.

Although this movie has strong influence on Japanese cultures (dialects, humbleness etc.) but that's what keeps it at it's sweet and delicate momentum.

There is nothing lacking in this movie, as it is sweet in every sensible way it displays.

This is the kind of movie that Hollywood could never provide.

Modestly Warm and Delicatively Meaningful.

What happens when you have so many talented actors, and a writer get together to make a movie ? The result is rather obvious.

Based on a novel by Takushi Ichikawa, "Tada kimi o aishiteru" is a love story that spans several years featuring Aoi Miyazaki from her days as college student until she matures as a woman. Hiroshi Tamaki also puts in good performance as he usually does.

However, the story follows a pat formula, and is rather bland. What makes it worth watching is the beautiful scenery the movie is shot under. Japanese really knows how to capture beauty in nature like nobody else.

It's a bit artsy love romance movie shot at great timing when Tamaki, and Miyazaki were at the height of their youth. One of the better movies to come out of Japan in the past 10 years.

When I watched the movie, it was raining outside. And I tried to feel the movie from the deepest part of me during this romantic season. I extremely liked the acting, story and of course the beautiful scenery of Japan. The college life story was also very charming and both the actress were looking gorgeous and gave their best. The lead actor was also done a great job and the story was full of love and charm. Love and sacrifice were the main themes of the movie and it was presented quite beautifully in it. this is a must watch film for every one especially those who wanna know the true meaning of love. I watched it more than 10 times and I suggest everyone to watch this with a calm mind if you want to enjoy a decent romantic saga...
