It reminds me another japanese movie with Fuju Kamio... the same sensation of emptiness, sadness, loneliness at the end.
At the beginning, the movie was pretty joyful I would say, but then, when you realise their true lives, OMG, it is an expanse of dry, arid, cold land where life does not seem to be present.
I mean, maybe the more "happiest" would be whom I thought was the most "depressed" at the beginning.
They are stucked in lives they don't really like but they wouldn't change it. I don't get it.
He is the only one who has the courage of changing his life and mind.
I will not rewatch it :(
