I don't realy know where to start. At first I just want to say that this movie is a masterpiece. The story, the cast, the acting were perfect.
The whole story is about a very energetic guy called Yuuki. He finds out that he has a disease only 8 people have ever had. Nobody knows the cause of it and it doesn't even have an official title. But Yuuki stays realy strong even when he hears it. He just asks to make up a title for it so that he would know the name of the demon he's fighting. And he stays a synonym to enegy and courage (jap. yuuki-courage). Even the friends who come to visit him say : "I came to encourage him but he ended up encouraging me".
Oh, yeah, one of many things I noticed and loved is that in the beginning of this movie Junji-san said that "Yuuki is nothing special - just someone to spend time together in a foreign country." and then later on he was like : " I thought we could follow wherever he went. I thought our road together was forever." And he talked about how in their 60's they would still be friends and talk about how bad the pensions are. That was touching. TT^TT
So, if you're down and want encouragement and/or just want to cry this is definitely a MUST WATCH! ^^
