The plot is still the same old-fashioned heroine leukemia, but filmed as natural as the handmade linen in Muji. The feelings are pure and beautiful, and the wind has passed without a trace, but it has already stirred up layers of waves on the calm lake.
When the scene was filmed in a simple Japanese seaside town, there were very few protagonists in the scene. Most of the time, Aki and Sakutaro were just alone like a date. Simple and naive dialogue. Because of the loud noise on the plane, I couldn't hear it clearly, so I watched it like a silent movie. Aki is very beautiful, not the dazzling kind of beauty, but like a tall flower in the mountains, with a slender body and a round and lovely face. At the beginning, I also thought: how could such a perfect girl exist. It's just that the more I look at her, the more I can't help not to like her, and the more and more I can't help not believe in the feelings of Aki and Sakutaro.
At the age of 17, I know more and more things, but there are very few things I can do.
For example, he finally wanted to take her to Australia, where he had always wanted to go, but he was unable to leave because of the arrival of Typhoon No. 29.
At the station, she cried as she collapsed because she was too weak and said, "There is no next time." Tears streamed down her pale face. That was the first time she showed her vulnerability.
In the uncle's photo studio, they decided to take wedding photos. When Sakutaro came out to change his clothes, he was speechless when he saw Sunshine Ryuki wearing a wedding dress beautifully by the window. Aki turned his head slightly, but Sakutaro tried his best to hold back his tears and excused himself to go to the bathroom. I think he has been unable to face the harsh reality.
When the disease is in the late stage, it is arranged in the sterile room. Sakutaro went to visit, walked to the door, and saw that Aki's hair had all fallen out. He didn't have the courage to go in again. I thought the director would arrange for him to go to the beach to cry and shout or something, but he didn't. When he came to visit Aki again, Aki was sitting on the bed in the sterile room with his back to him. Sakutaro raised two pieces of paper in his hand and pasted them on the window glass for Aki to see. "Marriage Application" was written on the paper. Aji couldn't help crying anymore, she had no time.
At that moment, sadness flooded me in the darkened cabin. The entire sequence is slow and quiet, without a single line of dialogue.
I don't know if Sakutaro took those two papers with great determination. Maybe he always knew that Aji was the girl he wanted, but he was still willing to leave a place for her dying in his life. Is this the so-called courage of first love?
Is this kind of courage understandable to those who get married in order to obtain immigration status?
In
order to balance my emotions, I watched "Trolley Man", but there is absolutely no way to compare it with "The World", a boring so-called funny inspirational film, the heroine is a real vase.
When I saw a girl playing Aki in a Japanese magazine, all I could think of was Aki.
I think this movie will probably stay in my memory for a long time.
