The Japanese manga writers, screenplay drafters, directors would bail out of the teenage romance syndrome? Now it all seem to me that the Asian countries' literary people and movie industries are obsessed with this kind of teenage romance and love stories by Japan in the lead, faithfully followed by its loyal peers, such as Mainland China, Korea, Taiwan, Philippin, Vietnam, Thailand, Malasia, Indonesia...They all keep churning out these puppy loves crap in junior high, high or even in the elementary schools. Yeah, right, we are all supposedly to have some regretful unrealized puppy loves when we grew up. But so obsessively grab the past and never let go is somewhat a syndrome to novel writers and screenplay writers, like recycled versions keep producing on and on, again and again.
This movie is no exception, just another high school puppy love fantasy so popular and polluting the Japanese universe. Enough is enough, better grow out of this naive puberty fantasy sooner than later.
"One day when we were young...." yeah, right, it's a beautiful and nostalgic song that could only be sung quietly when you're alone. Don't let your current wife or husband to hear, allowing them to suspect you've got so much pains and regrets to your current marriages. Git and get a grab to your current moment, will you?
