Female leads confusion takes away the build up to the conclusion
The transition to movie felt lacking. Although acting was solid and the new soundtrack made it feel more like an original interpretation of the original anime.Mostly felt certain strong feelings were missing , which made the anime memorable imo
Such as the numb feeling the MC got after working many years without any passion and seeking for “something” that makes him feel alive.
The other strong feeling and essence of the story was the unrequited love. The build up was there, but not impactful enough when the most important seen where both adults passing each other…
All in all I would only recommend this movie to Makoto Shinkai fans that are interested to see how the live action turned out.
But for others…. It is a lacklustre movie that is not very interesting for the general audience. My mother was confused at times… even me when we both were unsure who was the surf girl or the girl from primary school….
And the unrequited love part was kinda overshadowed by the confusion who is who….
I think this issue could be solved by focusing only on 1 couple. The surfing girl felt a bit
unnecessary. It didn’t add much to the story, except that MC is missed the mark/timing from small till now and has sort of grown/learned from his first love… it might be important to his character growth, but in the red line of the story it was more of a nuisance to me and source of confusion.

Il filo conduttore che descrive la vita del personaggio resta quello dei treni, spesso in ritardo, e dei passaggi a livello che sembrano allontanarlo sempre di più dalle relazioni.
Se nell’anime domina l’angoscia costruita attorno all’attesa di un incontro destinato a non avverarsi, nel live‑action questa tensione emotiva è presente, ma in maniera più attenuata.
Anche il finale trasmette sensazioni leggermente differenti. Nell’anime permane un senso di tristezza e rammarico per un ragazzo che non è riuscito a lasciarsi alle spalle il passato, che si è chiuso in sé stesso per non soffrire nuovamente e che finisce per sprecare rapporti e occasioni inseguendo il ricordo di un amore perduto.
Nel film, invece, la stessa identica conclusione — ambientata sempre in prossimità di un passaggio a livello — lascia intravedere una nota di speranza, grazie all’espressione finale del protagonista.
