Kimi no suizô o tabetai

The title suggests some out-of-this world apocalyptic comedy. But despite the cannibalist title, this is actually a cute, touching, sweet movie about love, life, and mortality.

Turns out the statement I want to eat your pancreas or any body part means you want to be like that person, and once you die, your soul will get into his/her body. Or something like that.

This is about two unlikely high school friends, Haruki and Sakura. Haruki, an introvert, was befriended by Sakura, a carefree girl with terminal pancreatic disease. One day Haruki accidentally picks a diary/journal owned by Sakura and she confessed to him that he was the only one, aside from her family, who knows of her illness. She shares her sentiments, her wishes to him, before she dies. Haruki tries to suppress his feelings (not romantic feelings) but at the same time gets amazed at the bravery shown by the girl, that despite her terminal disease still manages to laugh, make other people happy, find goodness in everyone, and just live life as if she had no disease at all. Together, they did her "things I want to do before I die". 12 years later, Haruki finds himself teaching in the same school, reminiscing his wonderful memories with Sakura.

Although there were scenes that alluded to a romantic relationship, what's undisputable about the plot of the story is that it is a touching movie about a blossoming friendship despite the travails of having a terminal illness. Sakura has a bestfriend, Kyoko, whom she hid her illness. She reveals she did not want her bestfriend to worry for her. The movie just manages to touch the depths of your emotions as you feel for your friend.

Overall, a touching movie. You won't be surprised if you find yourself shedding a tear here.

I want to eat your pancreas puts you off with the odd title. However, it is a beautiful story. The acting was very good. I also enjoyed how the story was presented. But the hilight was the characters. Both of them were so different and yet so right for each other (not in a romantic way, but a human way). The girl was possitive, bubbly, and simply adorable. The boy was quiet, unsociable, and kind of a calm force. Also, the cinematography was beautiful, with the cherry blossoms (sakura) and the school background. It served the innocence of the movie well. However, the story, in the final conclusion, kind of lacked the intensity that would have brought the whole tragedy to a climax. So, eight out of ten, because, the pace was also slow.

The decency look given by the actress when she is serious is very much emotional. I liked their talks too much . I almost cried . I will suggest watch once plez.

This film tells the story of a young man in high school, be who accidentally discovers that his classmate has a terminal disease. They share this secret, and becomes best of friends.

The title means "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas", and it sounds very alarming and horrifying. I thought it was a horror film, but the poster is too sweet and adorable for it to be a horror film.

The story is a very touching story of a young woman who courageously live her final days with her new best friend. Her positivity and selfless attitude brings joy to her best friends. I find the story effective and touching. I like it a lot.

I've seen this movie in an advance screening in Hong Kong. All I can say is that it's a very very touching movie. The story and music are very well done. The music composer is the one who composed for 2004's classic Japanese romance movie "Ima, ai ni yukimasu" (aka "Be with You"). Highly recommended. 10/10
