Hanataba mitaina koi wo shita

This movie is perfect. And when a movie is just perfect, it is difficult to write about it without spoilers. But not impossible, so here it is:

• it is a love story
• the first scene is in 2020. Then we jump back in time to 2015, go through the 5-year-long journey of boy & girl, and arrive back to 2020
• the story we see is a real archetype, all adults will resonate with it.

Big congratulation to everyone involved in the making of this film. What you created is a real gem. Scripwriter(s) - hats off. Director(s) - hats of for creating a pace that suited the 5-year-long journey of a couple perfectly. Acting was also flawless. God bless you all! 10/10.

I seriously did not expect to love this movie. I didn't even expect it to be good, I was just giving it a try and I'm actually glad that I did. This was my first japanese movie, and it turned out to be amazing. Although I hoped for a different ending, but the ending in the movie was quite mature. It's a real gem. Loved it till the end. If you're looking for a fun, relaxing, and enjoyable movie them I'd definitely recommend. Also if you're a emotional person, then be ready to cry (it may be a happy cry). Have fun watching the movie.😉👌🏻

I watched this while going through a divorce, and oh my, did it evoke a whole spectrum of feelings in me. Love, loss, heartbreak, positivity and bittersweetness. The way the movie portrays a romantic relationship in all its phases is just incredible, and was so relatable that it certainly left a huge mark in me. Tears were definitely shed in front of the screen that night, both from sadness but also from that lovely warm feeling you get when you're in love. A crowning achievement as a romantic drama and deserved way more traction than it got at release. It might not be your cup of tea if you've never experienced the magic of falling head over heels over someone, but even then, the cinematography and acting certainly hold its own to be worth 2 hours of your life. My top recommendations!

FIrst of all, I didn't expect a movie like this when I clicked the play button, but it was such a surprise. I was expecting it to be the typical romance story of how they were going to be together, like a long story of give and take. However, The movie tushes from the beginning and everything happens so fast till minute 90. Then, a cliff.

I sinceresly enjoyed the whole give-and-take movement of the movie during the growth of each of the characters on the second half of the movie. A couple of times you are given the thoughts of each of them. That is what makes this movie expectacular in this regard. As human beings, we sometimes think wrongly about certain situations in our lives. For example, he thought that she was mad at something and kept the same evolution of his life, instead, she was really hoping he was being the same but he changed. This is a precious learning that I took from this movie.

This movie made me really think about life and our priorities. It does what it has to do, express. Mover your feelings. Make you thrill. This movie completely did it and I don't think this is a masterpiece, but that little drawing you have in the same spot for years and occasionally, watch on an autumn evening.

When you listen to the song with earphone, the sound from right and left side are different. So if you listen with someone, you two don't appreciate the music.
