Do not even know how to explain this movie in words. But please watch. The MUSIC IS AMAZING, even though I don't understand the lyrics the music does an amazing job conveying emotions behind the scene. What all those body did and went though...jesus. The teacher/gardener was really full of wisdom and said what the ML needed to hear. The ending scene was really unexpected, but then again so was the movie. The scene where the 2nd ML is on the terrence for the entire day was so cinematic in its own way. You really get to know it took him long to make the decision he made, or it could be his own way of reflecting and saying goodbye in his own way (watch and interpret it how you please)

Oh to be a women

I wish I didnt relate to this movie.... I think I can say it for most women, but we women have been through at least one of the scenes the main character had to go through. From her father only considering the health of his son, to the boy trying to grab her on the bus and her dad blaming HER. I love how the mom stood up for her when needed, and unlike some mothers (like mine) remind her of the "societal, traditional and cultural norms that women are expected to endure).

Biggest fear like shown in the movie: husband "convincing" his wife to have a kid, but not participating in the child-rearing and doing the bare minimum, until the FL develops postpartum.

Please read the book, it is amazing

Makes you question and hold on to memories. This movie got me to think... have I been living my life the way I want to, and would I be on my deathbed with absolute no regrets? Do I, at this point in my life, have a memory that I would truly hold on to and want to carry with me into my next life. The scene where *spoilers* he says "Thinking about a memory would just cause me more sadness and grief". I feel as though no matter whether it was a happy or sad memory, we all have the potential to make the memory sad when we give it context (if that makes sense). For instance, if your best memory was with ur significant other, will there be a question whether they were truly the one or will you think about how badly you or they treated you. Besides the point, I think this is a must watch. If your not into the cinematography, please watch it for the nostalgic feeling and the feelings of reflection you will get!!!!

The cinematography was beautiful. The sounds of the train track and Yumi looking out the window really had me as a viewer imagine the trauma and sadness she relived every time she heard the train tracks.

The scene showing the once painted green bicycle getting rusty and dusty years later was very sad but loved how they added the scene. The cherry on top was when her son, later on, chooses a small green bicycle for himself.

Once the credits came on, it left me feeling like I first hand went through that grief, which reflects how well this movie conveyed its message regardless of the lack of dialogue.

The anger, sadness, confusion, and numbness were all conveyed beautifully!

Bring your tissue boxes and hydrate

Fast-paced (in a good way) without taking away from the overline story and emotions.

**spoilers**
when the friends come to visit him in the hospital after quite some time, and their faces when they realize that he gotten 100 times worse from when he told them about his diagnosis. That 10-second camera pan to the friends faces was enough to see the regret and sadness they had inside of them when they saw theirfriend.

The Ex gf- did an amazing job conveying their relationship and regrets.

The main character-- you truly saw the stages of acceptance -- denial, anger, depression, bargaining, and acceptance. He was able to convey all of them in the real world and in his imagination.

Must watch, I know this movie will help you go through the stages of acceptance with the character, especially if you or anyone you love has dealt with a similar diagnosis. Be well all!
