Review of Ima, ai ni yukimasu

Ten years ago, Japanese brought "Love Letter" to us. 2005, Japanese brings "Ima, ai ni yukimasu" to us. A story like "Somewhere in Time", a girl came back to the future and saw her destiny. Here comes a important issue. If future is known, would I still select the same path? If human being has free will, he can avoid the possible tragedy. Then the future is some kind of possibility; the time is not a straight line. However, the film didn't discuss this; it has more important issue. If the death is known, is it worthy to pursue who I love again and select the same future? Mio had a chance to consider her future once after she came back from future. However, because of her love to Yuji and Takumi, she still decided to meet Takumi even she had already known she would pass while 28 years old. Facing the death, normal man will run away. But our brave mother, Mio, still decided to meet her lovely son, Yuji. That's the name of the movie comes from– "Now, I'm going to meet you". The love can overcome the fear to death. That's the most touching I saw in this movie.
