With all due respect, this film does not live up to its title

First of all, the female protagonist has been bullied by the male protagonist on campus. Why did she finally accept the male protagonist's apology and forgive him, and said that she has been looking for the male protagonist? Maybe some people will say that it is their own business to not forgive, then let's put this aside, the heroine forgives, so why do you still fall in love with the person who bullied her in the end?

Secondly, at the end of the plot, how do you feel that the group of people who had bullied the heroine had all turned into victims, and the heroine had instead become the one who bridged the differences and contradictions? Obviously the most hurt is the heroine!

From the character setting, what is the role of Sahara? In the early days, he was the one who accompanied the heroine, but after that? After being defined by the male protagonist as "only escaping blindly", at the end Sahara suddenly said "I'm sorry, I haven't changed anything", so what is the value of her later existence? Apart from this role, let alone the inexplicable scenes and dialogues between Ueno and the heroine.

The moral of this film is indeed very good-the courage to face one's own heart and treat the world with the greatest tenderness and kindness, but the plot direction and character setting are really very confusing. To a certain extent, this film just over-beautifies and idealizes "school bullying".

—————————

In fact, in the whole film, I quite like the heroine's younger sister, Yuzuru Nishinomiya. The only time in the whole film I cry is when the heroine failed to commit suicide and the hero was injured to save her, Yuzuru tore off the photo posted on the wall at home. , These are the "beautiful" pictures she captured with a camera specially for her sister, and then she cried and said, "I thought she would not want to commit suicide when she saw these."

Combined with the various actions she has made before, it can be seen that Yuxian has always been silently guarding and accompanying her by her sister's side, just like a knight guarding the princess.
