It’s a good drama, not anything super crazy though. I will admit, a lot of people do need to see this film to show them that they need meaning in their life before it’s too late, like work shouldn’t be all you do or are known for, anyways, I will say, It’s a little hard to follow at times, maybe because of the culture and language barrier. In the beginning when he was going out and partying, that was hype, made me want to hop on a bus and go to Tokyo this weekend, then it got all somber, then he got a little creepy and some other stuff happening then he died. What a life. The funeral scenes lasted a bit longer than I expected and definitely felt dragged out and they really kind of botched the ending in my opinion. The movie should have ended with him on the swings in the snow, it would have made it 100x better, a lot more dramatically potent. I don’t know man, I’m just a random dude but I definitely would’ve gotten more emotional than what they gave me right at the end. I see it as a mega missed opportunity. All in all solid but not great, probably not a rewatch for me, was t really my style.
