Go ahead, watch this movie. To know what was world like before cell phones took over. These kind of films appeal to a certain niche of audience. That type of audience is growing thin. There is nothing loud about this film. Everything in this film from story, setup, music, dialogues, screenplay is one dimensional. Don't mistake me, movie is really good. It's another of those stories that are trademark of japanese sweet romantic dramas. It doesn't give you any philosophy or doesn't carry any underlying meaning. It is just pure emotions.
Both girls are clueless about the mysterious guy they knew. I mean one of them was even married to him, and the other girl went three years to school with him and yet none knew who he was, what drove that person, why he was so silent, why he could never say what was on his mind and even the audience will not learn anything about the guy even after the completion of movie.
Such writing, where there nothing in particular happens yet so much happens. Basically this whole movie is one type of emotion......longing.
