Pretty Decent-Friendship Story
Rather than thoroughly review this title, I would like to comment a few things on characters and plot involved.
First of all, the thing that baffled me is an unrealistic friendship and love involved between these characters. A quiet Kakeru, a new student transferred to the school, and suddenly being liked by a group of students. Naho, another quiet but gentle girl for some reason, fallen in love with Kakeru, and keep trying to approach him in real non-parallel story line. As the story goes on, everyone are keep supporting Kakeru until he died of an 'accident'. And 10 years in future, Naho, married to Suwa, but yet kept loving Kakeru. Suwa, for weird reason, kept supporting Naho's love for Kakeru. Why Kakeru was so important in their lives is not explained in the movie.
This kind of deep friendship and love are rather unrealistic in real world. What kind of husband would let his wife loving another man, after all these years.
The real question, is, what is so special and unique about Kakeru, that his mother's suicide for him, Naho's love for him, and all other friends shed sweat and tears for him.
In conclusion, Kakeru is a special boy.
