A Bride for Rip Van Winkle

I didn't know what to think when I started this film. I had to take a break, because it has 3 hours and there was too much emotion for me to take in. A lot of people seem to complain about the story, but I believe it's the strongest point of the film. The writer didn't give you anything on a plate, you have to figure out things on your own, kind of like in real life, you don't actually know what's going on through someone's mind or what their motives are. People have different ways of thinking and so the weird choices made my some characters are not random, and might make sense if there was more in depth analysis of that character in the film. This was a great experience and an amazing film. Everything is great from the actors to the story and cinematography.

Porn sells. Yet it is treated with shame. Every one wants love. And it is fraught with all sorts of expectations. This movie doesn't provide any clarity on sex, marriage, friendship and kinship. But it sure asks us to look at them from another point of view.

I did not understand , there are many questions The film is very mysterious

As long as the narrative maintained a focused exploration of Nanami and her intrinsic struggles with her introverted nature and her challenges in forming genuine connections with others, I found myself thoroughly engaged.

However, around the halfway mark, the emphasis abruptly shifted from Nanami to Mashiro, an actress grappling with her own lack of true companionship alongside various 'other' challenges.

This particular transition could have been executed more seamlessly and would not have been problematic had there been a robust foundation for their newly forged relationship.

Sadly, this sudden shift comes off as something that undermined Nanami's perspective and thereby diminished the significance of her side of the tale.

As a result, the intended emotional build-up and its eventual resolution felt unexpectedly feeble, leaving quite an unsatisfying and incomplete aftertaste.

The visuals, cinematography, and acting were great. However, story was lackluster. The movie dares to have 4 stories drag in a 3 hour movie.

The main female protagonist starts off down on her luck with risk of unemployment. However she meets a man online, gets married, then (without spoiling the story) we never see him again in the film. The truth is never revealed why it concluded that way. This trend continues with the actress meeting people but we never find out who they really are and what their motives are. We spend 3 hours in a movie but we do not even know the characters or get character development. That's right, the main protagonist doesn't learn anything through her journey.

The music choice was beautiful, however it felt like a cop out since they used popular pre- composed music.
