this film would have put the typical hollywood tearjerker to shame . the emotion portray be subdue and understate in a very comfortable fashion . the plot be cliche enough with a lead role have terminal disease ( this be not a spoiler and be well establish quite early into the movie ) the method of execution be somehow unique from most love story you ever saw not even a kiss be be exchange and yet you will feel the enormous current of love between the two lead . initially and i assume this restriction on emotion to be something analoguous to the typical eastern value but later decide against it . this film be so understated that if you compare it with movie like cinema paradiso and cp would have felt overtly manipulative by comparison . so and it definitely not everyone cup of tea . after watch the film and i have this strong feeling that holly wood love movie and ( or love movie all around and to be accurate ) have be glorify romance or passion and label it a love . i be sure we all have our own definition and i wouldn not say these quality be mutually exclusive . but and i would venture to say that the movie will let you wonder if there be any added dimension you have with you love one . it very obvious that i enjoy this movie a lot . consider the fact that the movie be so plain in appearance and it be paradoxically one of the more cinematic movie i saw lately .
