ただ、君を愛してる

Actually, this movie has released for quiet a time but I still had no chance and motivation to watch it no matter on TV or on the internet. However, I finally found some time and got interested in the movie recently, so I watch it from the internet. After watching it, I regretted I did not watch this movie earlier because it was so good and so touching that made me cry.



The leading characters are now very popular in Japan: “Tamaki Hiroshi”(玉木宏) and “Miyazaki Aoi”(宮崎葵). The male character is the symbol of gentlemen. He is usually thought to be gentle, tender and handsome. Actually, he was famous before but after filming this movie, he is getting more popular now. Actually, the reason why I wanted to see the movie was because the female character. Recently, I have watched some movies and series she played and her characteristics attracted me a lot, so I just wanted to see all of her works. She is not like the typical type of idols or actresses. She is more natural, innocent and different. From her face, I only can tell she is pure but nothing. Because the idols or actresses nowadays don’t have the characteristics like she has, I notice her more.

Before, I have seen too many Japanese love movies and most of them let me down. Maybe the market of Japanese movie is not mature enough or maybe it’s because I am influenced by Hollywood movies so much that I have lost my ability to appreciate different kinds of movies. I think I do be impacted by Hollywood movies a lot or even too much. Japanese movies are obscurer when the directors want to express something or the way how the characters express their emotions. So sometimes, if I do not see the movie very clearly or carefully then I may not get any extra or secret information from the movie. Maybe the reason why I feel some Japanese movies are boring is because I do not even understand them or get the information they want to express.




However, this movie is totally ok and it is both attractive and interesting. Although the end of the movie is cliché in Japanese movies, still, it‘s a good movie. The cliché which usually takes place in Japanese movies is that the male or the female character, however usually the female ones will be dead in the end no matter die from car accidents or diseases. This kind of end happens almost every single time. So when I watched the movie until the very end, I thought to myself “Again? Why does the writer always like to sentence the female character to death?” Maybe people will say that’s because the tragedies can always be remembered by people. However, I am almost sick of it. So, I think the biggest pity of the movie is the end. Ironically, even though I criticized the movie when watching it, I still watched it passionately. Even in the end of the movie when the male character knows the girl is dead and even though I knew it’s the same cliché, I still could help myself but crying.(http://img.blogs.yahoo.co.jp/ybi/1/8a/46/lroive/folder/33324/img_33324_24115614_0?1164980517)


So, I think I have to admit that even though I already guess or know the cliché end, I still cannot stand the attraction from the Japanese love movies. So join me now and have fun crying with me!

Recently, I have watched some movies that I already watched before again. I always think some good movies are like books; every time you watch or read it again, it will make you feel different even just a little bit.

When I first watched this movie, I was just a senior high school student. All I thought about this movie was “what a funny story!“ and “It’s too ridiculous to happen in real life”. At that time, I just thought it’s a funny movie and I learned nothing and thought nothing more about it. However, now, as a college student, I watched it again. To my surprise, it gave me some new thoughts.

Although it intended to be a comedy, it still had something for me to think. When the leader character, ”B” asks the students “what’s your dream?” and “What do you want to be?” Then I asked myself of these two questions. Surprisingly and shockingly, I couldn’t answer the questions because I couldn’t remind of my original dream when being a child. The questions made me think if we just followed what others did and what our parents or the society wanted us to do, and after a long time, when we were totally changed by the concepts, we lost our dreams. When we finally found out the reality was a lie, then we sadly found out that we already forgot what our deepest desire was. It’s kind of pathetic. Because we tried our best to reach the goals that the society already set, during the period of reaching that goal, we forgot our original passion to certain objects.

When B goes to one profound college for visiting, he sees students be forced to take the classes they don’t like. They just sleep and chat to kill the time of these boring classes. It looks like waste of time and life but until now, students do this. The scene made me think of me and people around. We always had some optional classes that we must take, though they were “optional”. I remembered when I took these optional classes, I always dropped out of the classes stealthily or just did my thing like reading books or writing my homework there. Honestly speaking, I just showed up at the class but my mind and my thought were not there at all. And of course I got nothing from that optional course. To me, it’s like a waste of time. I thought it would be better for me to do something I like more. Not just about playing, it could be the time for me to gain more knowledge in my interesting professional field. Maybe some people would say that we should learn everything to found our common sense. However, I thought if we could have the time, maybe we could make better use of it, not just sitting on the chair and doing nothing. (http://www.impawards.com/2006/posters/accepted_ver2.jpg)

So maybe this movie was funny, ridiculous and unrealistic, it did give me some inspirations. People are so easily to get refused, so we have to find some places where can accept us. From some many ideas of learning in the movie, they suddenly made me feel so depressed because I didn’t have any special skills except for studying and taking tests. It’s so sad. So this movie inspired me to find my original dream and let me rethink of what I have now and what I want to be in the future.
