ima, ai ni yukimasu

What a way to start my lunar new year man. My sis's boyfriend(who's japanese) bought this really good but really sad movie and she brought it home. So I poped it into my dvd player and decided to watch the trailer first to see what the movie is about. Wah, the trailer already depressed me man! You see a little boy running along the road and calling for his mother like he'll never see her again and the next scene you see a lady asking the bakery uncle to send 12 years worth of birthday cakes to her son until he's 18. And so, I started playing the main movie, the atmosphere and music already set the mood, clear sadness. You feel sad for the father and son when they're at the funeral of the boy's mother. But here's the twist, she told the boy that she'll come back during the next rainy season and he really believes her. So does the father.The story takes off from there till it's bittersweet ending(See! No spoiler!). Although it may not make much sense at the beginning, all the loose ends are tied at the end and at the same time, it caused my sis and I many tears, I guarantee it's a must watch! Alot of chemistry between the cast make their acting as a loving family believable. Oh yeah, the title of this entry is the title of the film or: be with you, direct translation: now, go meet. Watch it!
