![]() Of course, this is very typical of many Japanese films, but it was extremely difficult to watch because all the characters seemed emotionless and it felt as if they were reading lines off a big board behind the camera. The first 1:30 of this movie was incredibly slow. This movie is about a pair of twins who loves each other finally starts acting on it. There is an old Japanese saying: 「終わり良ければ全て良し」"As long as the ending is good, it's all good". ![]() I am personally very thankful to have seen this film. Ironically, this was an extremely moving film with the least amount of actual movement I have seen in a very long time. I recommend that if you can bare the initial slowness to give this movie a chance and hopefully you will come away with a deeper understanding of what love is and can be. I found the movie to be a true experience. Upon a 2nd viewing all the almost unbearable slowness makes sense and is actually appreciated! The acting once thought hollow now seems only reserved emotions. Due to a painfully beautiful ending I can not give this movie higher praises. The ending got under my skin and made me shed tears. I am not familiar with the other incarnations of this story in Japanese comic or animation form so I am judging it based only on what I saw in this film. I do not usually shed tears during 'emotional moments' in movies. At certain points the movement on screen was so slow that I started to think there was something wrong with the disc player I was using. This story is about a love that is doomed in every respect, but even so is still so deep that it can not be denied. Forget what you've heard before about what this story is about.
