This is a comment not on CHERRY BLOSSOMS

This is a comment not on CHERRY BLOSSOMS which I enjoyed but the follow up CHERRY BLOSSOMS & DEMONS which, IMO, is even more affecting. The character Karl is a mess & the films combining of magical realism with his everyday struggles held my attention throughout. Perhaps this is not the place to comment here as this this is a sequel to the first film but the efforts of the character YU to try & show her love for Karl despite his ambivalence in dealing with his particular behavior concerning his family & his own uncertainty regarding his feelings for YU, makes for a touching & bittersweet film that is well worth one's attention. If rotten tomatoes had a place for comments regarding this unusual movie I would welcome posting this under the title: CHERRY BLOSSOMS & DEMONS if that ever comes to,pass. I leave that up to rotten tomatoes.

It's a quiet, very beautiful film about the duality of love and death. I love this movie.

Honestly this is such a touching little movie

Honestly this is such a touching little movie about grief that I couldn't stop myself from crying a bit during it. It had its weak moments, as I expected it had a few racist scenes that I absolutely hated (the strip club and the massage.. just. NO), but I just feels like that this movie gets it, re: grief, and I happened to watch it before a big death anniversary to it just... resonated with me. The wife gives up on her dreams so she could please her family more, the husband is kind of emotionally absent, it kind of feels like a too known story, and Ii don't think it's fair to blame him or paint him as bad. Some people are just like that, they're not 'there', they're missing out on life and on being engaged in life because routine is easier and taking everything as it is for granted is the most comfortable way to live, so you really can't deem anyone bad for that, it's just sad. But what happens when it stops? And life gives you a slap on the face and you wake up to realise it is always a mistake to take stuff for granted, that you really have to LIVE, not just go through the motions of life in a very passive way. Rudi's journey and his grief over his wife was just so touching because you could see all that, you could see that wake up call, you could see how he realised how much he has missed and how much she has missed. The fact he is wearing her clothes to walk her around the places she always wanted to see, the fact he goes through all of this not knowing he is dying too (and therefore, they will be reunited soon) just to give her these experiences she never got to have, the fact he views her as being a part of him now after she is gone... this is just such a fantastic depiction of grief imo.
