Movie Reviews
Decent enough story and I especially enjoyed Sairi
a real romantic story
"Just remembering" is a Japanese film of a couple who break up under the coronavirus crisis and remember memories. This is a film was created by Mr. Matsui, a Japanese director because he was inspired by "Night On the Planet", a song made by Creep Hype a Japanese popular rock band. It is about a parting of Teruo who gives up being a dancer and You, a taxi driver. This story starts in 2021, and goes back one year at a time on July 26th, Teruo's birth day for 6 years. I like this story very much because it is not like a common romantic story, but it draws the realistic parting of the couple. Because of the realistic, I imagined that I may fall in love and break up in the future like them. I thought that people break up because of little things, and they suddenly remember the memories even if they do not have any regrets after a long time passed. This is a film which I want to watch alone at night. It does not necessarily make you cry, but you may feel sad or painful, and remember your past love.
