I am sure that the person I like can live well, even in the face of death, it is like seeing the future. The future is not only tomorrow, the future can be in people's hearts, as long as there is a future in their hearts, people can be happy. - Keigo Higashino, "Shisheng"
The film "Just In Love With You" is adapted from Takuji Ichikawa's pure love novel "Love Portrait – Another Story", which tells a poignant love story about "missing out". Douban score 7.9, more than 100,000 reviews.
Makoto Setkawa (Hiroshi Tamaki) is a college newcomer who escapes the opening ceremony and wanders around the campus when he encounters Shizuyo Satoshi (Aoi Miyazaki) on the side of the road, and her petite appearance and eccentric behavior make Makoto, who loves photography, can't help but press the shutter. From the moment he opened his mouth to say the first words to him, Shizuryo fell in love with Makoto, but Makoto fell in love with miyuki Toyama (Akira Kuroki), who was in the same class. Shizuku agrees to participate in a photo contest with Makoto, and her work is to shoot a kiss with Makoto by the lake. But after that, Shizuku suddenly left... Thus unveiling the fate behind the wonderful fate.
The slogan of the film is: once in a lifetime kiss, the only love in a lifetime. This sentence, which did not have time to say, and finally appeared in the photography exhibition, also revealed the theme of the whole film. I can only love once in my life, I grew up for you, matured for you, and finally just wanted to love you, even if I exhausted my life. Only because I love you, I only grow up for one person in life, only for love once. Tell us a beautiful and sad love story of "knowing the death that will come after growing up, and I am willing to grow up for love once".
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >01, I met you by chance in the world; I like you but I am not</h1>
"She often lied to me..."
The film begins with this sentence, and the shot begins with the United States during Christmas. Makoto on the train is reading Shizune's letter to him, thus revealing a love story about "missing out".
The camera is then switched and the footage is taken back to the university campus days six years ago.
That was the beginning of their encounter.
At that time, just preparing for the opening ceremony, the two people who had been arranged by fate quietly met on the first day of entering the university.
At that time, she stood alone on the side of the road; waving at the passing traffic to see if any kind people stopped;
He stayed around the campus because he didn't want to attend the school's opening ceremony.
He greeted her and said: There is a signal light in front of her that can be passed by pressing the electric button, and it is better to cross the road from there;
Then there was a long roar, and the elf-like girl fell into love in the moment of looking back.
He also raised his camera and quietly took a beautiful shot of her.
Being deeply loved by a person will give you strength; Loving someone deeply will give you courage. - "Hal's Moving Castle"
Sincere person, is a love of photography, introverted personality. The Department of Foreign Languages, because of skin diseases, the medicines used also produce a very strange odor, and he is always worried about this, so he always keeps a distance from everyone.
Shizuku is a cute, cheerful and optimistic girl who wears big glasses and likes to eat donuts, and is particularly childlike from appearance to heart. And she has a special genetic disease, once the "love" grows up, it will aggravate the disease and even die. There is also chronic rhinitis, and the sense of smell is only 1% of ordinary people. It is precisely for this reason that Makoto is relieved to interact with her.
They all had their own knots, but their fates had been intertwined ever since the moment they met on the side of the road.
Makoto has always regarded Shizune as a friend, but Shizune is deeply in love with Makoto.
Because she liked him and wanted to spend more time with him, she began to study photography; by the lake in the woods, which was so beautiful; they went there every day to take pictures. In each early morning of breathing oxygen negative ions, it was a time when they belonged to the two of them.
In the beautiful shots of the film, they often agree to take pictures in the woods over there with their cameras, the lush green leaves, the clear and transparent lake, the crisp cries of unknown birds, such a quiet and peaceful scenery, and love begins to ferment in it. A piece of time is quiet, and love is gradually sprouting and taking root in it, even if the person concerned has not yet tasted it; everything is moving forward unconsciously.
Although he has an introverted personality and is not good at communication, he is honest and kind, and loves photography, and always uses the lens to observe and record the beautiful and flexible places in life. Shizuku is optimistic and cute, and after liking photography, he is good at using the lens to capture the sadness and joy and emotional outpouring of others. The childlike innocence of her body was pleasing and precious.
There may really be superpowers between people, and she will certainly be able to see through people's hearts.
After Shizune's heart for Makoto, he began to want to grow up, to be beautiful, to be attractive, and to become a real woman.
From that moment on, I liked you, and from the time I met you, I longed to grow up, even if it was at the cost of my life;
Maybe the moment I met you by chance, but liking you was never.
Once she chooses love, it means choosing to grow, and when she grows up, the moment to leave this world comes. The ordinary love process is at the cost of her life.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >02, why did I spend so much time growing up just to separate</h1>
Not all grief can be seen. - Keigo Higashino, "The Secret"
Shizuku likes Makoto, but he likes Miyuki Banhana, who is in the same grade.
Obviously, the two people often stay together, but Makoto does not treat Shizune as a girl.
So when Miyuki and her friends all think that Shizuru is Makoto's girlfriend, and even talk about Shizune's bad words, Makoto just says, "Just a friend, just a friend." "As if to hide something.
Shizuku just appeared behind her, and sensitively she felt her heart hurt.
She was sad. I'm really friends, but why don't you defend me. I'm used to people thinking I'm weird. What I feel bad about is not that others look at me with strange eyes, but that sincere people do not defend me. For example, say to me, "She's not a freak; she's just more personal."
Later, Makoto accidentally mentions to Miyuki about the grove that belongs to the two of them, and he brings Miyuki with him; when she witnesses this moment, her head walks away without looking back.
I knew I was very different from her, so why brought her here?
Isn't this a place that belongs only to the two of us? Isn't it just a world for the two of us?
It's not that I can't grow up. As long as I want, I can also shine like Miyuki and fascinate you. Believe it or not.
I'll grow up slowly and then become beautiful and surprise you. I want to be a million fans.
But when Makoto thinks Shizuyuki will always ignore Miyuki, he sees the two of them chatting intimately like old friends. She knows that he likes others, but she still faces it positively and optimistically, hoping that she will grow up quickly and grow into the appearance he likes.
At this time, she issued a surprising declaration: "I just want the people I like to like people like me." ”
Now, just want to love you
In fact, Shizune's younger brother and mother died of genetic diseases.
A disease called "death in love." I'm not lying to you. It's really "love to die". As long as you fall in love, you will soon die.
The heroine inherits her mother's illness and lacks growth hormones in her body, which means that she cannot be as simple as the pursuit of love as ordinary people. Once she chooses love, it means that she has to grow up, and growing up comes at the cost of her life.
"Don't regret it later." I regret how I didn't do anything to her. ”
"I don't care if you regret it later."
"Eh?"
"When I grow up, you'll regret why you didn't, and hug the girl."
"Got it, I know it, goodnight."
“...... Honest man, you're such an idiot. Stupid stupid stupid
As a result, both of them tossed and turned all night.
"Shizuku, what day is your birthday?" Next time, be sure to celebrate Shizune's birthday"...
"Even unrequited love is, in a sense, a kind of love!"
"Cowards love to make excuses like this."
……
"Well, send me a gift."
"Okay. What do you want? ”
“Kiss。 ”
"I think the title of this photograph is 'Lovers', 'Lovers' who kiss each other. You'll be my model and kiss me. ”
"If I can kiss Makoto, maybe I'll be happy to die!"
I know that this is the kiss once in a lifetime, the only love in this life.
Just the next morning, still in that verdant grove, the clear sky, the bright sunlight pouring in, shooting beams of light through the cracks in the leaves, the calm and glowing lake, a beautiful place.
Wonderful in addition to all this, there is you.
Set up the camera, and I'm going to record this beautiful moment.
Before Kiss, she took off her glasses, and at this moment, she seemed to begin to exude femininity.
In fact, I have been growing up; do you feel it?
At the moment when each other's lips touched, time seemed to freeze from then on.
Shizuku felt the greatest happiness and satisfaction in this life, and the hearts of Makoto also rippled with love, at this moment.
This kiss, so light, so tender;
This moment, so sweet, so long.
Just now when you were kissing, did you feel a little in love with me?
Yes, more than that, in my world, you are the whole thing!
Goodbye and thank you for all this!
I am very happy, I am a static stream, I am unique in this world.
In the middle of a lake. The still stream just watched the sun set, and time was flowing quietly;
After that, Shizuku suddenly disappeared from his world, and this kiss became their eternal farewell in this life.
I always thought that the first kiss would make our story start, but if I had taken a step earlier, I might have been able to be with Shizune and go with the flow... However, I did not expect that it would become our end.
"But I didn't expect that it would be our end."
"I want to be there, waiting for The Still Stream to come back. Even I don't know how long I'll be waiting. ”
Will it be too late to understand this until now? It's all hindsight missed
At this moment, he finally realized his indescribable love for Shizune, but everything was doomed to be irretrievable!
I thought it was just the beginning with you, but I didn't expect it to be the end.

People are going to grow up, and one day you will also push a stroller to walk happily on the street, and the once likes, no matter what they once were, will turn into the wind and disappear into the tunnel of time. So go forward, go forward, don't look back. - "The Cat's Reward"
One day after graduation, Makoto suddenly received a letter from New York, and the sender was The Quiet Stream who did not say goodbye.
In order to see her again, Makoto came to New York on Christmas Eve, at this time by a brilliant bridge, but in front of Makoto was Miyuki.
At Miyuki's residence, Makoto hears a message from Shizune's father: "I am Richu. Thank you for your letter greetings. The 49-day ceremony ended successfully. Jingliu's ashes were also safely sent back to his hometown to be placed. I've been in a lot of trouble for you, and I'm deeply grateful..."
Shizuku has died of the disease, a hereditary disease that lurks in the body from birth and worsens as it grows older.
She can meet you and love you, so she wants the same love from you.
Even if her condition continues to deteriorate, she wants to talk about this relationship, try to grow up, and finish her life. She doesn't want you to know about her illness, because she wants to live in your heart all the time, even if it is cheating, she wants to live in the heart of the honest person.
Grow up for you, mature for you, and thus exhaust your life. Just because I love you.
Even if you go to another world, you still just want to love you.
Surrounded by an unusually heavy heart, Makoto came to Shizune's solo photography exhibition.
Seeing the stillness that he had not seen in the past two years; the people and things she had never understood...
A little further inside, he saw a picture of her—taking off her glasses, putting up her long hair, a black dress, shining, and turning into a very attractive beauty. She has metamorphosed into her most beautiful form through love.
What fills the eyes with tears, missed, or regret?
Along with it, there is a picture on the wall, all of which are sincere people - sincere people taking pictures; sincere people are sleeping, sincere people are brushing their teeth, sincere people are looking, sincere people are yawning, sincere people throwing stones, sincere people are eating, sincere people are in a daze, sincere people are riding bicycles... Everything is a life related to him.
Looking at the row of photos that emerged, the dusty memories all came to mind, and the bits and pieces of the past emerged in her mind, and she quietly recorded with the camera, each photo has a story, and what is hidden behind it is only the unspeakable love, the only love in her life.
Makoto looked back and saw a picture on the wall—the one she had taken two years ago before she left, with a passage next to it:
『It was the only kiss,the love I have ever known...』
"A kiss of a lifetime, only one love"
It's a once-in-a-lifetime kiss, the only love of a lifetime...
"Makoto, when you kissed me, did you feel a little in love with me?"
"Yes, more than a little. In my world, you are all. ”
Her letters, and dozens of others, had wanted to send them to you, and when she lay in her hospital bed, she wrote a lot, and she was happy, really, very happy.
The day you kissed me; within two years grew up quickly and became a very attractive woman.
New York, no matter what, wants you to see my solo exhibition;
The only thing I want to do now is to see you again, to see you again, to hear your compliments.
As then, speak to me in a gentle voice.
Quietly take a lot of photos about you, and record the bits and pieces about you with the lens. That's how to love you
In this world, the most loved thing is you.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > epilogue: once in a lifetime kiss; the only love in a lifetime</h1>
Unique in this life. Although this kind of love is short-lived, it is also unforgettable.
Sincere people visit the jingliu photography exhibition, and those dusty photos have become a witness to their past love. From the first photo of kissing in the grove, and every moment taken by Shizune for Makoto, the wonderful moments recorded in these photos are the past they have experienced together, and they are the truest portrayal of love.
In the short life of Shizune, this only love has also come true.
In this world, there is a person's happiness in your hands
You hold a person's happiness in your hand, and Shizune must be able to feel the happiness you give her
Those letters, you continue to send me!
She used to lie to me, and those lies I wished I could hear again.
It's the same at any time;
At any time, the parting will come earlier than expected, and even then, everyone will still laugh and say:
Goodbye, goodbye one day.
Goodbye, we'll see each other somewhere else.
So I, though, are far away from you. But I still want to say,
Goodbye, and one day we'll see each other somewhere else.
When the cherry blossoms fell, Makoto looked at the photos and letters sent to him by Shizune in the previous days, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
Day after day, year after year, he was expecting a letter from Shizune every day, as if she were still alive.
Because he knew that, as she wished, she would live forever in the hearts of sincere people.
The bird in the small forest flew over and was watching him at the moment. It was like she was watching him in another world.
Because I have thoughts and sustenance in my heart, I am not alone at all.
