i feel like to comment on this movie because the first commentator labeled it bad. this is not a bad movie, not even close to bad. it is 1996, a 17 years old japanese girl, leading a desperately lonely life. she spends considerable time looking at the sky and hoping for a ufo to take her away. this catch the eye of a middle aged man who accidentally drive pass the spot at which she used to look at the sky. he kidnapped her eventually. he confine her in his apartment but never the less take good care of her. it turns out that the man is also desperately lonely and falls for this girl and this is the reason that he has kidnapped her. day in and day out the girl is convinced that this life is better than her life before but she also realize that the relationship is illegal and hard to maintain. the movie viewer are treated with the expectation of the resolve of the situation. this is a rarely seen suspenseful situation in a drama. both of the two characters are painfully believable and realistic. the movie is adopted from a real story. the producer of this movie is a guy from the newspaper.

see this movie, which bring you deep down inside the psyche of asian people. i give it a 9.
