Helllo!!!!
I know, I know. I've been away for a looonnnngggg time.
Lots of things have happened during the time I am gone.
However, lazy to spit the whole story.
Anyway, today's topic will be J movies!
J movies = Japanese movies
Lately, I've been into J movies.
J movies can be eerie, horrifying and disgusting.
However, the ones I'm looking for or is into are those enriching and touching.
The J movie I will be recommending today will be 1 liters of tears. １リットルの涙
It is indeed 1 liters of tears!
I cried buckets while watching it.
Maybe I'm easily emotional.
but I think I cried more than "1 litres of tears" here!
You may realize how valuable each day of life is and when we fall, we can try to get back up!
Though it may not be the same, at least we've tried, we've been brave.
What's more! This is based on a true story!
I've watched it more than once and each time, tears just falls down naturally.
There is a drama version to it as well.
Wonder what is the story like?
Wanna know a bit of it first before plunging into the heart-moving scenes?
Here goes.....
This beautifully moving movie/drama is based on the real-life struggles of a 15-year-old girl named Aya who suffered from an incurable disease.
But she lived life to the fullest until her death at 25.
The script is based on the diary Aya kept writing until she could no longer hold a pen.
The book that later followed entitled “One Litre of Tears" has sold over 1.1 million copies in Japan alone.
Fifteen year old Ikeuchi Aya was just a normal girl, soon to be high school student and daughter of a family who works at a shop that makes tofu.
As time passed, unusual things started happening to Aya lately.
She started falling down often and walks in a strange way.
Her mother Shioka, takes Aya to see the doctor, and he informs Shioka that Aya has spinocerebellar degeneration - a terrible disease where the cerebellum of the brain gradually deteriorates to the point where the victim cannot walk, speak, write, or eat.
A cruel disease, as it does not affect the mind in the least.
How will Aya react when told about her disease? And how will Aya live from now on? I won't leak the story anymore. Watch the movie / drama to find out!
