I watched this movie expecting a very good bonding session between two friends. However, it is the most depressing movie I have watched till date. From the starting to end, it is filled with the ultimate kind of tragedy. But the story and acting were both very good. This movie touches upon very deep issues and the fact that it is based on real life events, it is even more touching. Both the girls in the story are suffering from illnesses and even then, they form true friendship and learn to care about each other. Most of all, it delivers the message about how important it is to have friends no matter in what state you are in life. I only watched this movie out of curiosity and it didn't disappoint me apart from the fact that it leaves you so exhausted emotionally and mentally. I am well aware of the painful things cancer patients have to go through, but a particular scene after Rina's surgery was quite disturbing. In fact, this movie has a lot of painful and disturbing scenes. So, I would suggest that only if you can endure watching the harsh reality of sick people, then watch this film or skip it altogether. The screenplay was beautiful and once again, here is a Japanese movie with doses of originality. Though terminal illness is a rather repetitive plot in movies, almost all other aspects of this film were original. The synopsis summarizes the best parts of the movie very well in one paragraph. Anyway, because of so many reasons this movie cannot be rewatched by me and hence the overall low score.
