Read from Teck Guan's blog that this movie is currently showing in Singapore and apparently his friend couldn't find anyone to go with her to watch it because it is UNBELIEVABLE...
Well, just a few thoughts to share... name the top 3 most popular movies and inevitably Star Wars, Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings comes to mind. Coincidently, all three are fiction isn't it? So whether a movie is unbelievable or not, it is not that important I guess. Do you think so?
For those who hasn't watch the movie, it was a super hit in Japan prompting the production of the drama currently airing now. The attraction of the movie isn't so much about its storyline but that of what Japan is famous for, touching lines, simple gestures saying a thousand words and a simply beautiful story. This movie touches on the deep love not just between a married couple but also that of the mother and son that suggests that such love transcends beyond the boundaries of life and death. The lady who supposedly got a glimpse of her future when she met with an accident at 20 chose to marry the same guy even though she knew eventually she has to part with them one day. Another part that touched me was when she went to the cake shop to make reservations for son's birthday for the next 12 years to come till he is 18. She knows she won't be around so she makes sure that someone, somehow remembers it on her behalf...
Well... for those who are going to watch this show. Go with an open heart. Relaxed, enjoy the great onscreen chemistry of the cast. Of course if you understand Japanese, you will enjoy it even more! (Btw, both the leads are really getting married in real life) Lastly, be prepared to cry buckets!
