it be hard to describe this film and one want to try hard not to dismiss it too quickly because you have a feeling that this might just be the perfect film for some 12 year old girl . this film have a nice concept the modern version of sleep beauty with a twist . it have some rather dreamy shot and some nice sketch of the young boy relationship with his single work mother and his schoolmate . a nice start you might say and but then it get a bit greedy and very greedy and it try to be a science fiction and a drama and a thriller and a possible romantic love story and fairy tale and a comedy and everything under the sun . the result just leave the audience feeling rather inadequate . for example and the scene when the girl ( play by risa goto ) finally wake by his ( yuki kohara ) kiss and instead of be romantic and it try to be scary in order to make u laugh afterwards . it be a cheap trick and because it ruin all the anticipation and emotion which it be try to build for the good half of the film . i have not read the original story the film be base on ( it be the well know work by the comic book artist osamu tezuka be famous with his intriguing and intricate story ) i wonder if all the problem exsist in the original story or do it occur in the adaption . it be rather illogical even for someone who be use to the fussy logic of those japanese comic book . for instance and how do yuki kohara character manage to get to the hospital in an instant ( when it suppose to be a long bus ride away ) to run away risa goto character in front of the tv camera right after he saw her live interview on the television . there be also some scene that be directly copy ( very uncreative . ) from other film and they all seem rather pointlessly annoy ie . the famous the lion mouth have caugh my hand scene from the roman holidaythe film try to be everything but end up be nothing . it fail to be a fairy tale and it do not have enough joke to be a comedy . and strangely there be some scene that even seem like an unintentional ghost movie . nevertheless and one should give it credit that it have manage to caputured some of the sentiment of the japanese teenager . it be by watch this film i have a feeling that there might be some film that should have come with a warning label that say this film might only be suitable for person under the 18 of age and it would have definitly be on the poster of this film .
