Y do I love movies that make me want to cry? I knew what was going to happen the whole time I watched it, but I was still touched by how sweet & innocent the actors portrayed their characters. It is difficult to say that the ending was either happy or sad. It just depends on how each individual looks at things. There are several things that I liked about this movie. Not only was the acting moving, but the time progression was well done. I didn't feel like the movie dragged or moved to fast. I enjoyed the main characters b/c the both pulled u in & made u see things from their point of view. I rly enjoyed the honesty from Shizuru. Miyazaki Aoi has an innocence about her that not many actress are able to pull off. I just realized that she was in "Nana". Which if u ask me is an awesome movie also. She should have been in "Nana 2" then I would have watched it. I think that every1 should give this movie a chance. It was better than expected & left me w/ good feelings. I hope u give it a try. ENJOY!
