this is the type of movie where after watching - i wanna hurt everyone involved in making it - like WTAF!!! i was so delighted when i noticed "baby" Saitoh Takumi at first as Noeru, but pretty fast this train goes wayyy of the tracks - dives straight into whacko territory...
like Noeru been a promiscuous teen - in the description its watered down "...Noeru decides to hit on Taishin..." hit my ass, he just assaults him, and gives him a BJ in the restroom - like hello?!? and here Taishin keeps telling Noeru he too young to drink - ugh what a joke. plus this made in 2006 not 1996 where Aids was a "new" disease and people thought it was made-up propaganda. so seeing Noeru getting "used" by any tom, dick and harry was nauseating to say the least, and his supposed reason was anticlimactic - and i guess everyone can react differently to any given situation, and he an extreme personality, so he went over-board. but where the parents at?

even Taishin that was kinda normal, was off - like when Chidori the psycho just rushed into his flat looking for Noeru - that wasn't a sane moment - and Taishin as an adult should've known something was very off with this kid. being that obsessive about his friend after telling Taishin that he loved Noeru . anyone else would've seeked out Noeru to touch base and make sure he was ok, let alone inform him that his bff was nuts. Taishin just ignored the whole situation as if nothing happened and only when he saw the add (in the papers) about Noeru being brutally attacked, did he go look for him - like WTF was wrong with these people - its like warning signals r going off and they deaf, dumb and blind...

so everything that happens after isn't shocking, but u start with Taishin and Noeru on the train, blood smudged fingers intertwined and after everything that happens, my head went every which way, as to what could've happened but the reality of Taishin taking Noeru's dead body to the sea, cause that was his wish with his childhood bud Ken - so Taishin could then walk into the sea together and i'm like f*ck u very much - but this a crap ending - this love?!? plz - so Chidori got off scot free? or his punishment is his guilt - like plz with this poetic b.s that amounts to nothing -

i'm sorry i watched this as this was crap, a lot of quote's about love, friendship etc that want to give this movie gravitas that it lacks in spades , basically this amounted to shit all - plz
