Watched this in the theatre a couple days ago. In case anyone needs even more validation to watch this movie after watching the trailer I'm here to tell you this movie is spectacular. Everything about the movie from the acting to the story telling is a masterclass.
I thought it was good, I have a feeling after I read the book and go and watch it again it’ll be a whole lot better, already the book covers some things that help scenes in the movie hit better
My favorite film of the year so far. Been heavily disappointed in far too many movies this year. The execution here was flawless. Storyline, acting, duration of the film, direction and cinematography. A beautiful film.
I watched this beautiful and deeply moving film this afternoon thanks to Focus Features! It was both timely and timeless. It's a beautifully filmed, written and acted movie. Life and love are not easy to navigate and that essential truth informs and shapes this story. Thank you to all involved! Arigato gozaimasu!
@@hernzlynashsegovia9276 I hope your desire to find out the answer will inspire you to watch the film! You definitely won't regret the time spent in the world the film creates!
Masatoshi Nakamura(1:48) is a legendary actor in Japan. This year marks the 50th anniversary of his debut. He is the type of actor who brings a role to himself rather than becoming the character. He has a very soft and cheerful aura. You will understand when you meet him. You will see that he is a wonderful person.✌
@@phillydisc9708 san Sorry. He did not appear in those films. The films he is in are. 'American pastime'2007 Emperor'2013 etc. Maybe the actor you are referring to is 'Masahiro Motoki'.
@@phillydisc9708 i must say I am always pleased to see a comment thread like this one, in which a miscommunication or misunderstanding is both identified and rectified with zero animosity between the people in the thread!

@@mmmm-mg3my She's the daughter of two very popular people in the Japanese entertainment industry. You may have seen her dad in Sega's two Yakuza spinoff games "Judgment". Takuya Kimura is insanely popular in Japan.
I just saw it and it's in my oppinion Baltazars all time best work. Very nice movie. Slow burn dramatic love story, but there's always something going on. Good script and well told story. Btw, I had never seen the main actress before. She has the eye's of an angel :)
let me guess, she's dead? he meets her child from another man but they still have the box of trinkets/memories that she saved all these years. hoping this is not the actual ending tho.
Same here at first it was a CZcams ad for me right when I was about to pound the skip button I stopped. This was something else. After watching the whole trailer, I felt euphoric and was saying I have to see that movie
Apparently ppl have seen it pre national release. Happens a lot w/movies. Some are saying where/how they saw it. You can’t read the book & recommend a movie you didn’t see.
Eveything about this film is epic. Beautiful cinematography. Outstanding choice of music and excellent storytelling. The casting was spot on! I throughly enjoyed every moment in the film.
(The World 🌎 Our World 🌍 has become soo openly dark 🌑 lately) that I thought a movie 🍿 🎥 like this could never be done 📽️ again. THANK YOU! - 🌎 Love 🌍 needed ♥️ this. - 🌹 ✌️
It describes him as a widower so he obviously lost Miku and couldn't find her so he eventually married another woman. After she passes is when the story takes place. I remember a story a few months or a year ago about old international lovers reconnecting after both of them lost their spouses.
0:15 I assume he was told he's going to die soon by a doctor, and then he realised for the first time that he has to find his love of his life Miko before he die.
I saw it tonight and really liked it. The younger actors were especially good and I was so rooting for their relationship. It's a cliche to say but it is a touching movie so if you are on the fence give it a chance because you'll likely enjoy it.
@@lilacsky7726 absolutely. It is difficult and costly to get someone exactly the way its described in the book + acting skills. Let us hope the movie is somehow entertaining!

Wow this looks like one of those movies that stays with you long after the credits roll.
Super kino
Nah it looks more so like an airline commercial 💀
It's fabulous, touching, thoughtful, delicate. Saw it in Reykjavik last night and highly recommend it.
No it doesn't.
It looks like a typical Hollywood made White Man x Asian Woman fetish propaganda 😂

Same. Favorite movie of the year.
My only wish is that they incorporated a little bit more music to make some of the scenes hit harder. But that’s literally it and can be looked over

Finally an Icelandic movie. Hope it goes successful
Icelandic movie that fetishizes Asian women like a thousand other Hollywood movies. I hope it goes unsuccessful....
It looks like a typical Hollywood made White Man x Asian Woman fetish propaganda 😂
are you Icelandic?
@@Roy-G-Biv no
this hits home for me. I met someone in somewhat a similar situation...this movie is going to make a grown, id like to think, badass, cry.
So happy to see Koki becoming an actress, hope she does well in this movie!
Who is she ?

DON'T DO THAT. WE HAVEN'T WATCHED IT YET
The trailer made me cry. Trailers never make me feel anything. Can’t wait to watch the movie.
Same here at first it was a CZcams ad for me right when I was about to pound the skip button I stopped. This was something else. After watching the whole trailer, I felt euphoric and was saying I have to see that movie
@@jokestermasteroflaughter7754 I don't get CZcams ads. I use an ad blocker.
@@Nirmiti. so do I but it doesn’t work on a phone on CZcams app
I watch a lot of Asian films, but this one has sunk into my soul. The actors are very well chosen.👍👍👍
Iceland is part of Europe, BTW..
Interesting, didn't know Iceland was Asian...🙃
@@user-lz5vh9bb5wi think they meant the Japanese people and locations in the film lol but I also agree it was produced by mostly Icelanders...
@@samir99deci think they meant the Japanese people and locations in the film lol but I also agree it was produced by mostly Icelanders...
@@eacomedy Japanese people and locations can be found in many non-Japanese films made around the world. It doesn't make those films Japanese.
Most beautiful movie I’ve watched in years!
Agree with you..just watched...beautiful movie
Why are all these people saying they recommend this film when it hasn't been released yet?
because the book is already released
Apparently ppl have seen it pre national release.
Happens a lot w/movies.
Some are saying where/how they saw it.
You can’t read the book & recommend a movie you didn’t see.
@@arawilson there have been limited-screen showings...
Hope to see Koki more on the big screen!! Maybe she could be anticipating in some Netflix series / movie 🍿
‘Anticipating’?
What a beautiful movie! Totally worth it! ❤

Academy Award Film 2025🙏🏾
@@oxfamrookie160 It will definitely be on the list of nominated films !
I just watched it today and it's amazing!!!! It reminded of my 1st love.
The trailer has me crying
The film itself had me crying a lot. I just saw it this afternoon and the story is staying with me. I feel protective of the characters?
we need more movies like this and less superhero movies
Problem is movies like these are rarely profitable nowadays
And less the alphabetical ppl movies too
@suzzanferguson9218 - nah… not really
It's up to you what you want to watch , everything is there in hollywood
日本では劇場公開されないんだろうけど
どこかのサブスクで配信してほしいなぁ・・・
そうですよね！是非見てみたい作品です
this the type of movie that makes a man finally able to shed tears again
Going to see it in theatres specifically so I can let it all out
@@Cloudxmerchantbe ready with a hankie!!! There are a lot of moments that get you emotional!!!!!
I love the actors. Beautifully done ❤
This movie is my life in many ways.
why is the subtitle font so... distracting
yeah it's in papyrus font lol. very oriental
They want to make sure the audience know this is cinematic art and we are watching the work of thespians.
These subtitles are a big improvement on anything Disney+ serves up.
They aren’t the actual subtitles
I loved a Chinese woman who worked in a massage parlors once...didn't speak much English hard to communicate. Broke my heart.
The book is so good. I couldnt put it down. Im so excited. ❤
Can you tell me the name of the book please?

An amazing film. Breaks your heart then heals it.
Gives me The Notebook vibes.
I think this story will be so touching
Why wait 50 years to find the love of your life?
Sometimes life gets in the way. Also, 50 years ago everything was on paper. It would have been nearly impossible to track someone that far.
It describes him as a widower so he obviously lost Miku and couldn't find her so he eventually married another woman. After she passes is when the story takes place. I remember a story a few months or a year ago about old international lovers reconnecting after both of them lost their spouses.
@@Nomad_Drifter but the work he’s putting in now to find her in the movies he could’ve done that before.
0:15 I assume he was told he's going to die soon by a doctor, and then he realised for the first time that he has to find his love of his life Miko before he die.
@@kstudios6767 fair enough. Sometimes we realise what matters when it’s late
I’m crying already😢 So sad…

This looks like it’s gonna hit me hard like another Past lives😢
There’s only 1 life we get...before our eternal life......
So, choose wisely, who you follow...
Wow something that actually looks like its worth watching.
Wow, this is just the way I imagined Atlas Corrigan!
at least this guy is a much better than what we've got now
@@lilacsky7726 much better! Just need to be a little bit more built up!
@@angelaj.murilloc.5240 idk about you but seriously tho, the iewu main casts, they're just totally a let down.
@@lilacsky7726 absolutely. It is difficult and costly to get someone exactly the way its described in the book + acting skills.

I rarely watch movies. But the trailer of this movie attracted me.
It's a perfect scene, it's exciting, and I feel like someone lives there and is trying to steer me in a new direction.
Let me guess.He is dying so on his bucket list,it include finding the love of his life while the story is going back in time to show how they met.
You're not guessing, its literally on the trailer, are u on drugs?
@@whydoimevenhere- 😆
Yes but with a good twist. It's good 👍
