“If you will die tomorrow, what would you erase from this world just to live a day longer?” The devil asks a pretty good question to the main character here. I was reluctant to watch this movie. Plots about illness aren’t my piece of cake but this time I gave it a try. Unexpectedly  , this movie doesn’t even talk about illness so seriously. The plot is simple but its has lots of good life lessons tangled up in its story. THE PLOT: A young boy finds out that he has just a day to live due to a terminal illness. He meets the devil who gives him the opportunity to extend his life for just one day each time he decides to erase something from this world. It might sounds like the typical sad movie in which the main character struggles to survive and die miserable because of the pain of his incurable illness. Maybe with a love story who makes you cry during the movie. Thanks God, it isn’t. The Devil isn’t just tempting the main character. He’s teaching him a lesson. Would you erase everything from this world, basically your own valuable memories and things, just to run away from your death? During the movie the main character is tested by the devil. Erasing things, like cellphones or movies, means to erase all the good memories connected to them. He wasn’t just erasing things, he was erasing his own life from this world. CHARACTERS: Different types of characters faced each other in this movie. The best friend with his touching sentences about friendship and his huge obsession for movies. The ex girlfriend met thanks to a wrong call. The parents and their pretty common family. The Devil, with his long fingers and his sarcastic giggle. The Devil was supposed to play the bad guy here. But in the end he was actually helping out the main lead. Amazing acting skills, Takeru’s crying scenes are so stunning that almost makes you cry along with him. I’ll give this movie a 9.5 out of 10. The cinematography is stunning, even though some scenes were badly filmed.
