four quotes—
“you never let me know you.”
“someone called the drifting sky the ocean. you called the trembling of an unreliable thin eyelash sadness. i called the slight touch between two pinkies love.like something stuck to the bottom of a pan like a stain on a white shirt.”
“why did you go and die?”
“do you think the truth is inside you noisy people?”
i did wish we got more of oshino/yuki, or maybe fujiwara/oshino reconnection; after all, they were in the same class, and oshino seemed to have been surprised that fujiwara did indeed become a homeroom teacher. another thing i wish was explored was oshino and yuki’s connection through music and the cafe in general, and also i would’ve liked the character of aya fleshed out more, because personally, she was merely a background character— I didn’t care (much) that she died, there was no clarity given to her death, and (realistically) none of the characters cared either. I wish to have known how aya was to yuki and why if yuki was so emotionally afflicted by her death. she was the only one who didn’t cry at aya’s funeral, and somehow that had been the most significant proof of their deep relationship. they kissed, sure, but what else? however, i did enjoy the “gofer” of the popular girls’ group slowly inching out of the mould of mindless minion into her own person, and additionally befriending yuki. i also forgot the name of the boy with the records who invited yuki to come watch him perform, but he was very interesting also, and it was nice to see people reaching out to yuki despite her slightly lonely and silent nature, mourning aya still.
i think what i most loved about the movie was the setting. it wasn’t anything special, but it was precise and full of meaning. each place yuki went seemed more alive with her in, each reflecting an important memory of hers. in example, the cafe, the trip in the mountains, etc. I also found the colours aesthetically pleasing.
