I don't care about anything else. I just want to love you and choose you, over and over again

The movie *1st Kiss* really made me cry; the concept and everything about it were deeply moving. It portrays two people who want to be together despite being far from perfect—in fact, they were a bit of a disaster as a couple. During their initial fifteen years together, they struggled because neither was willing to set aside their pride; they didn't ask the other to be kind or affectionate, instead operating on the assumption that "you should just know this on your own." She was a truly wonderful person—patient and enduring—who kept coming back to save him, even when he treated her poorly; this proves just how deeply she loved him. Seeing him again could have made her focus on his flaws, yet she didn't. Even though she knew his personality and what to expect, she looked at him with eyes that overlooked his shortcomings—such as the way he dealt with his incredibly difficult boss Take the servant, for instance; he might seem simple or even boring—in fact, she herself said, "Suzori-san talks about dull things, yet somehow it feels entertaining." It’s truly remarkable; she loves him deeply, flaws and all. In the past, he may have been cold and abrasive—perhaps because he was working a job he disliked just to earn money, or because he found Kana annoying—but despite that, he loved her immensely. I should mention that he fell in love with her more than twice; every time she rewound time and returned to the present, he fell for her all over again—he loved her about five times in total. He is truly wonderful. It also tugged at my heartstrings when—after realizing she was his wife from the future—he said, "I don't want a divorce." He acknowledged his past harshness, yet he chose her again. He even chose the manner of his own death—a deeply humane choice—and ensured she had the best fifteen years of her life And he has The message at the end of the movie made me sob out loud. It was a truly wonderful film—not at all off-putting—and the acting was superb. Thank you so much for this movie.


Thanks to everyone who read this; that was my opinion on the film.

song, "One More Time, One More Chance

It was more than just wonderful. At first, I didn't quite grasp it, but later I understood—and I cried so much. I really wanted them to end up together, but honestly, when I thought about it, the male lead was a bit selfish—or perhaps just a strange character. He was deeply preoccupied with the world and the cosmos, far more than he was with the female lead. Even when she cried in front of him, he was focused on the rocket and ignored her distress; he would dodge her confessions and run away, thinking he was unworthy or that the situation was awkward. I think he realized he loved her the right way, but at the wrong time. Clinging to the past is futile unless you actively engage with it—meaning, he should have put in the effort for her, searched for her, and strived for something beyond himself. She was truly exhausted by him; these were memories spanning from when she was 12 and 18, and now she is 30. That kind of dynamic just doesn't work for someone like her—someone who wants a comfortable, bright life
She speaks to me in a smooth, friendly manner. She has come to view their shared memories as an integral part of her life experience—moving past the fact that he was once harsh toward her. I’m not sure why his personality changed so drastically in high school; he became very quiet and acted as though he didn't understand her indirect confessions of love. I really loved the atmosphere—it was wonderful. The characters aren't perfect; they are flawed, just like real people. Take the guy, for instance: he has a good job at a company, goes about his daily routine—talking, eating, and doing everything else—yet deep down, he doesn't truly know what he wants or if he is actually satisfied with himself. Anyway, I just wanted to share my thoughts on the movie while listening to its theme song, "One More Time, One More Chance."
