I really liked this movie. There were lots of nice shots of the ocean. I just saw L'Aventurra but liked this one better for its ocean shots. The main characters were very young (20-22, one younger) so I guess I sort of identified with where they were at. I didn't think it was tame at all, but it certainly is of its time. I wouldn't call it a look at Japanese life either, it was much more character based. I thought the larger surroundings were a minor part of the film. I also enjoyed the music, I think it's true to life how kids get into something. I totally didn't expect the ending, but actually as memorable as it was (especially the shot from the helicopter) I think I will remember the love scenes and the buildup to the first one more. I think they are more crucial to what makes this a good film at least.
