Moving and tear-jerking, a love that is out of this world.
Story
A rather simple and typical story, childhood love, terminal illness—things we've seen a lot in Japanese films. But still, the story keeps you glued to the screen without a dull moment.
Acting/Cast
Although I think the lead actor isn't the best there is, the one who truly stands out is the lead actress, one of the most excellent and beautiful actresses in Japan. It's very likely that she is the one who made the film what it is, and she was irreplaceable.
Rewatch Value
There's something fantastical about this movie, very nostalgic. At the end of the 20th century and the first decade of the 21st century, Asian films were sort of a reconstruction of the 1980s in the USA films with a love larger than life that you could still believe in.
