Life: Senjou no Bokura

This story draws you in, feels realistic and not like a Hollywood "tear jerker" or romantic fantasy. Two outsiders meet by chance, friendship evolves into love, of course with challenges ahead. The couples connection feels authentic. Issues of social and family expectations also evolve. But doesn't love involve a range of emotions and introduce many new experiences, adding to life's colour and adventure? But is "true love" really different to other forms of love? If such a construct could be reality based, I suspect this story portrays something like it. Love cannot be measured objectively and yet it is a very real experience for many/most of us; perhaps life's greatest adventure! Life on the line is a terrific metaphor used by this film. It totally captivated me and left me feeling I had just experienced something wonderful; 10/10!

"As long as we're together there is nothing to fear..." Simple start and a simple end with an amazing story in such a short duration makes it a masterpiece. There is no way I can rate it less than 10!!

Story-great Acting-great Portrayal-great.

Sometimes we fail to see character development in series that extend up to 4-5 seasons but this mini series fulfilled that difficult task with ease.

It is a must must watch and my one of my fav BL series!

It's just really a simpe love story between two gay men. They fell in love in high school, and continued their happy relationship until they became aduts. However, as expected, which is quite normal in most society especially in Japan, their love were tested by the pressure of society and family to follow a life that is "normal".

Nontheless, it's a very well made movie and well acted so it's enjoyable and worth to watch.

This is the 2nd gay romance movie I watched next to Brokeback mountain so I'm still not used to the kissing and love scenes so you can skip those parts if you are only after "me against the world" type kind of "love story".

Japanese writers often convince us into weird plots. I think it is advantageous in a way for exploring possibilities. I liked the child inside of two grown men playing the roles of 'Agira' and 'Yuki' closely resembling the original work by Tokokura Miya. Strangely I fail to place this drama into either genres, romance and tragedy because the storyline truly mirrors an entangled existence of glee and grief. Moments conceptualized between the two leads are novel while ensuring its overall viewership sound for all ages. A snippet of contemporary CP from MODC definitely warmed hearts of BL fandom though they were not as impressive as 'BoXiang-CHihGang' to me. Many have opinionated upon this drama as an 'underrated masterpiece' and I concur. Why has it's rating dropped over the episodes during airing? No idea. One thing that lingers with me is Yuki calling Akira's name. Ending leaves you content with tears. Evidently, soul of a person extrapolates the happiest self throughout their lifetime.

I don't know how could anyone give this movie less than 10 stars. The acting is incredible. The emotions that the actor convey is award winning material. The story so beautiful. The camera shots and the sceens are a work of art. Pluss it incorporates very real situations. It breaks your heart.
