KOKORO GA SAKEBITAGATTERUNDA-THE ANTHEM OF THE HEART MOVIE REVIEW

(SEPTEMBER 19 2019)
The movie is about a young girl, Jun Naruse, who run away from how cruel the world can be. At first, I thought that the story would show a love story between two students that will end up with one of them dying, or something tragic. In short, a typical love story with a sad ending. But I was awed with the realism this story wanted to portray to the viewers. If I may say, there's only a little bit of romance in this movie. It is more of realizing that there are those people who's strong and there are those that not. There are those who choose to hide from the fear, pain, and agony that others throw at them. They are those that choose to just silently keep their distance to those around them, blaming their existence and losing hope on their lives. That is where those who love us come and save us. That is where we will realize who are those people that meant us no harm and will help us get back to our feet.
The other one that is really unexpected on this movie is the way the main character ended up with the other guy. Well, not that he is an extra guy but you know, it's something like that. That is what makes it unique, but at the same time, it is a risk that the author takes for it to be different. It just felt weird that the guy who saved her from the darkness she's in and the guy who ended up falling from her is different. Thus, the foundation for the love the movie wanted to inject was hard to absorb.
Overall, it was a good movie. The reality of life, the emotions of different people and how they overcome those pains are expressed properly, though it is quite a long movie that takes up to two hours. Honestly, I'm still waiting for some dead news at the end of the movie, but I'm dead wrong.
